Burnin' for you - always wanted to learn that song! If I remember correctly, they have that in the lessons here. Should check that out![/QUOTE]
They do. I know that since I've checked it out myself (and Christopher Schlegel posted a link to it in another of my threads last year). It's a great song, too. I think I'm going to enjoy learning it.

[QUOTE=maggior]Oh, and speaking of "Give me all your lovin'", what about "Sharp Dressed Man". Pretty much anything off ZZ Top's Eliminator is great.

Can you tell I was in high school in the early 80's? :-).

Indeed. Actually, I think a lot of ZZ Top is great. Most people I know just criticize them because of their huge beards, without paying attention to Billy Gibbons' great guitar-style.

I'm starting to have a pretty huge list of songs I want to learn to play. More than I'll ever need for one show, when I start playing live.

But as I said earlier. I won't rush it. Rushing it will just get me exhausted before I get anywhere. And having recently started reading a book about the beginning of GNR and the events that led to the end of the original lineup has only helped me realize that. GNR didn't rush anything in their pursuit for fortune and fame. They even enjoyed a major set-back (their gear-van broke down on the way to the first gig on their first support-tour, which made the head-lining band remove them from the bill and told them to go back home to Hollywood). They even wrote one of their arguably most famous songs, Paradise City, after that happened. I haven't suffered any set-backs of that scale yet, though, but still.

I'll just take it with ease, take my time to learn a bunch of songs and write my own stuff, and maybe, one day, I'll find the right guys to start the next big Rock-Band.

And to think that months ago, I just wanted to get out there as fast as possible and become a famous rock-star with no patience... Wow... I've changed a lot since then... I've also recently had more luck with coming up with my own riffs, rhythms and leads, since I've decided no longer to rush it.
