Well thats all I can think of for now -
All styles of rock are welcomed -

btw whats good to learn by def leopard, white snake, ratt, or quiet riot?

I'd say throw in Cudge Boogie by Johnny Hiland, and maybe one or two John 5 solo tracks, as well as acouple Johhny A songs...it'll be great to vary it up a bit.

Hey guys,
Akira, thanks for the input - i'm trying to get a variety of styles down - thought i should braoden my horizons a bit and try something new.

I've looked into some yngwie - black star and echo etude seems nice for an -'intro to yngwie' kinda songs. Alice in chains made the list too.

Andrew Sa:

Thanks for the reply - I liked alot of John 5's work with manson - you have any particular songs that are worth learning? I liked some of his variety and yet he still kept the goth themes - I liked rock is dead nice use of harmonics, but also some of mansons earlier work is excellent with like cake and sodomy and other tracks of the portrait album.

Btw whats good by Johnny A?


ANd do any of you guys know any good songs by rush?

If anything man, throw in some acoustic jams. Everything on you list seems to be condensed into 80's shred metal.

seems i know the same solos you do.

well high 5 then pure!

Yeah it is quite 80's biased - i'm not confident enough to learn any dream theatre yet.

Opeth's acoustic madness hit me so hard that I had to buy an acoustic guitar. Open Dmin Add 9 never sounded as good.

But thats what the thread is for - any acoustic medleys?
Other than classical gas, romance d'amour or alot of incubus unpluged songs?

For the record, that song's called "Dream On."

Acoustically, you can't go wrong with Leo Kotke, Kelly Jo Phelps or any of the old school Delta blues players - i.e. Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, Son House, Charlie Patton or Blind Willie McTell. :)

One of my favorite solos (by anybody for that matter) is "La Villa Strangiato", an instrumental on their Hemispheres album. Still working my way through that one myself.
