rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2005 I've just got my first guitar after years of bass, and I'm looking for some good, easy songs to start out practicing chord changes on. Any sugestions, and if possible links to tab/chord sites, would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 "Enter Sandman" is about the first thing people learn on guitar. Marilyn Manson's version of "Sweet Dreams" is also good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 28, 2005 Tom Waits-Goin' Out West Edit-not "Movin'" as I originally thought. I don't know why I waited so long to bother listening to much Tom Waits when I was already sure I'd be satisfied. Guy's awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 I'd try out Stone Temple Pilots' Plush - the verse has a G-D-F-C progression that covers a ton of movement. If you don't have the G-D shift down after playing it ten or twenty times, it probably isn't going to ever happen for you. Plus, the song doesn't sound terrible when you're playing it slow, meaning less chances to get frustrated by the lack of musicality while you're speeding up.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 Flight of the Bumblebee Satriani does a cool version of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted March 9, 2005 The world's gayest band, Manowar, does as well, only I believe they call it Sting of the Bumblebee. Metyl. I just recently learned to play Big Swifty, which is god damn difficult in parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 Wow. Hats off to you on that one. I like "Waka/Jawaka" better from that album though, the beginning and the end from the drum solo to the fade-out are just awesome. EDIT: In fact the end of Waka/Jawaka reminds me a lot of 20/20, but cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted March 9, 2005 Seek live versions of Big Swifty. Rare instance where they're better than the studio cut. YCDTOSA Vol. 1 has an excellent performance of it, and a solo I can't touch. "The Bebop Tango" off Roxy and Elsewhere borrows that eight count breakdown on the bass and percussion but is otherwise different and completely impossible to play. Vol. 2 just has the climax of Swifty preceded by a hilarious rendition of "Montana." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2005 I will do that. There's so much Zappa I want soon but I'm broke. I could go for an Easter basket filled with FZ albums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted March 9, 2005 That'd almost probably cover the 70's. Guy was so prolific it makes me barf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
