After that I usually play Hotel California (chords only) To get my switching going. Then I usually play mindless stuff to try to stumble onto a cool riff. Songwritings my thing so....
I haven't really tried learning new songs in awhile. It just doesn't appeal to me like it did when I was your age. These days I just try to put together my own stuff. The songs I really thought helped me when I was starting out were Nothing Else Matters to which I owe much of my fingerpicking technique, a few by the Chilipeppers which helped my understanding of melody, Crazy train just because, and Tears in Heaven. Work it out and find what best suits you. Everyone learns different and what works for one won't work for another.


thanks alot for your reply. I usually practise for a hour a day, usually 30 min at a time. I can already play nothing else matters and crazy train, but i have been working on voo-doo child, beacuse I thought it would be chalining.. but its really not, i think nothing else matters is harder
Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
Ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Rememb'rin' what she said
