What songs are you trying to learn?

Currently working on the solo in "stairway to heaven"...on acoustic

I´ve also just finished to handle the Epitaph by king crimson (the acoustic parts)

and "Wait for sleep" on a sh*tty keyboard. Some one else here uses GP4?

BTW where do i find keyboard tabs for ELP?

Acoustic guitar:

The verse of "Brain damage" (Pink Floyd), all of "Horizons" (Steve Hackett)... I'm playing "Horizons" as an offertory at church two Sundays from now...

Bass guitar:

This is my main instrument. I know most of "The Wall" (Pink Floyd), which is easy, easy stuff; I can play all of "Money" as well, and the main riff (adapted to bass) from "Wish You Were Here"; my main stuff I can play is all of part one of "Thick as a Brick" (Jethro Tull), all of "Close to the Edge" (Yes), plus "Gates of Delirium", which I know all of the "pre-war" part, and am working on the "war" instrumental and the "peace" song part ("Soon"); and "Roundabout". And I've only been playing 10 months!

Keyboards:

Uh...I can play the church organ part from "Close to the Edge" and the main part of "Free Hand" (Gentle Giant)...that's about it...

Just finished up with : "Nyctophobia" on Larry Coryell/11th House's "Level One", talk about a TWISTED melody line!!!!

In Progress: "Green Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf, a Hammond lover's feast and some pretty cool guitar stuff in there too.

On Deck: "Bryden 2-step For Amphibians Pt II"  AND "Squarer For Maude" by National Health, I MUST BE FREAKIN' NUTS!!!!!  

I've known how to play 'Aqualung' by Jethro Tull on my trombone for a while, but just the other day I figured out how to play 'In the Flesh' by Pink Floyd (one of the pieces I'm working on right now has a measure that is almost exactly the same as it and I figured out the rest from there).

Some of my friends and I are currently attempting to arrange 'Immigrant Song' by Led Zeppelin for band.

Luckily?

That places on your shoulders the responsibility for playing that solo - I trust you treated it with the respect and awe it deserved

I managed to transcribe 'Theme 1' by VDGG a while ago - well, the main theme, anyway

The songs for our gig this saturady

And also Cavatina by John Williams.

Yeah, I can't play those fast fills, they're ridiculous. The ones at the beginning of YYZ and at the beginning of The Spirit of Radio are f**king out of this world! How the hell does he pull that sh*t off!?!? But hey, practice makes perfect... I've also been working on Closer to the Heart, which is significantly easier... and I've made much progress on the instrumental section of Freewill as well.

Alhzeimer, never heard of him! Was it he who wrote that "Unfinished Symphony"?

 

Hi All,

Our band is currently working on "Dance of Eternity" by Dream Theater (hard song to get down). Other songs we cover are As I am, Stream of Consciousness, Endless Sacrifice, New Millenium, Trial Of Tears, Lines in the Sand and quite a few others. I find its a real challenge to learn Myung's stuff, we also do alot of Rush songs some Satriani etc...
