I can play a handful of Opeth songs, the first 5 songs on Blackwater Park, 3 tracks off Deliverance and 2 off Damnation, along with a couple of their other riffs.
I can play Coheed and Cambria's In Keeping Secrets... all the way through.
I know a few mars Volta songs.
Right now, I am learning the entire Scenes from a Memory album. I have a lot of it down, just not the shredding portions. I won't be able to do some of "The Dance of Eternity" yet because I don't have a 7-stringer. I have a pedal that can simulate a 7-string decently, I could try it out, but I haven't really worked with that song much.

find the music? just listen to it ;) it all comes eventually lol it just takes forever and a lot of effort. all those songs i had to learn on my own lol and they're way harder than they sound :( train's your music ear too! now i can pick out every guitar track from like the early genesis stuff lol like when there were about 3 of them all overdubbed. maybe not seem like much to you guys lol but that's good for my age group!

Well I'm sure I could learn a lot of sax parts, if I had any clue how to find the music.

I learned some bits of prog on keyboards and guitar (I almost never have the courage to learn a full song). I'm mostly a keyboard player. Here they come : Keyboards: -Firth of Fifth (I just love to play the freaking amazing piano intro) -In the Cage (well sorta...) -Back in N.Y. -The Knife -Anyway -I play the guitar part of Hairless Heart on my keyboard -Bits of Supper's Ready Well, I think that's about it... only Genesis Guitar (not an entire song except for The Knife): -In the Cage -The Knife -Hairless Heart -Bits of Supper's ready -Cinema Show -Bits of The Musical box -21st century schizoid man (well maybe except the solo) -Prozack Blues -Vroom -Intro to Roundabout -Heart of the sunrise Well, maybe there are others that I can't remember about. I don't specialize in prog. I specialize in video game music actually. I can play a whole lot of video game songs

I have played many cover versions of various prog songs in several
bands through out the years on guitar, bass, and vox. Mostly usual
suspect type stuff (Lotsa Rush, Yes, Genesis, KC, Tull...) My current
band Chicken Noodle Hammer (look us up *SELF PROMOTION ALERT* on our
website of the same name) does versions of tunes by Gong, Tull, Roxy
Music, and Crimson.
But my particular favorite bragalicious moment came when I pretty
faithfully (If I may say so myself) reconstructed the guitar solo for
Freewill in a band I was in about 10 years ago. Went over smashingly.

Okay there may have been a thread like this before, but meh.
For anyone who plays an instrument, what progressive songs have you taken the effort to learn?
I can play (on Guitar) :
Genesis Fans will like:
- Looking for Someone
- Bits and pieces of White Mountain
- A little bit of Dusk
- The Knife
- Harrold the Barrel
- Return of the Giant Hogweed
- Watcher of the Skies
- Sorta can play Get Em Out By Friday
- bits to Supper's Ready (particularly Lovers Leap and Apocalypse)
- Just about learned Dancing with the Moonlight Knight
- I Know What I Like
- Firth of Fifth (One of the first ones I learned :D)
- bits and pieces of Cinema Show/Isle of Plenty
- The Lamb, In The Cage, Gradn Parade Of Lifeless Packaging, Back in NYC, Hairless Heart, Carpet Crawlers, Chamber of 32 Doors, Lillywhite Lillith, Waiting Room is friggin easy, Anyways...meh, Lamia, I can SORTA play Coloney of Slippermen...the last few songs on the album are sketchy but yeah lol
- Patricia (Genesis)
- In The Wilderness
- Pacidy
Yes Fans (Yes is a lot more difficult for me cause Steve Howe does A LOT of lead so picking the songs up come a lot harder)
basically:
- Roundabout sorta lol
- bits to Awaken
- Close to the Edge
- Wonderous Stories
- just aobut all of Long Distance Runaround
- most of Siberian Khatru
- bits to Gates of Delirium (particulary Soon)
- Show Me
That's about it lol. I spend most of my time learning as many Genesis/Yes songs as i can because believe it or not you learn a lot of amazing techniques and a very unique style of playing...all the grown ups, music teachers, anyone look at my guitar playing and say 'woa! different' yes..I love the Genesis style and i always incorporate some kind of Genesis element into all my songs.
So yeah! What songs can all the musicians play on here? Do you guys have any bands? Tribute bands?
I'm just wondering because some of the best experiences you get in progressive music is when you actually play it.
