Playing Guitar

Slayer101 · August 10th, 2006, 01:31 AM

I've been playing for about six months now and this is what I can play so far:

Judas Preist-Breaking the Law
Obituary-Redneck Stomp
Megadeth-Peace Sells
Metallica-Fade to Black(part of it)
Slayer-South of Heaven
Alice in Chains-Them Bones

I know that's not to impressive, but every other song I've tried to play is hard. So could you guy's give some easier songs to play.

Thanks

make your own songs.
I've been playing the electric guitar for 2 years and I can't play any song at all, I've never tried either. I pick out a cool riff from a song here and there to play from time to time but I can't be arsed to do an entire song, I prefer just making music myself and improvising on my guitar.

Learning songs is a good way to understand songwriting, and it's a good way to develop your chops. It sheds light on your limitations, affording you the opportunity for improvement. If you work towards being able to play a difficult passage, instead of giving up, it will help you to become a better player. Learning songs can also help to improve your ear. Ultimately, I knw that I prefer writing my own music. But learning a new song now and again helps get me out of ruts.

Keep in mind that you are what you eat, musically. What you listen to and learn to play will probably creep into the music you write. And you should definitely try to write your own music. There's really nothing like it!

I know a lot of people don't like Slayer on this forum, but playing their songs will turn your forarm into a solid rock especially the very fast songs and the leads.
