[Teen Spirit]

I was wondering what songs do you guys consiter hard play?

[BLS_Infernus]

Dragonforce

[FENDERGROUND]

why do you want to know hard songs while posting in the begginer question forums?

At least try to spell the word right if you bold it. That makes you look like an even bigger idiot.:thumb:

[FENDERGROUND]

Excuse my spelling its 2 in the morning.

[mutant!]

Steve Vai - Air Guitar Hell

[Pastry Man]

i find joe satriani at times incredibly tricky to play. especially the later stuff.

[KRASH]

Excuse my spelling its 2 in the morning.


and what?

:rolleyes:

people seem to have gotten it into their heads that magically after 12pm and before 7 am they cannot spell

:eek:

we hav a pandamic!......oh sorry for my spelling its 10:45....im still not awake


if you seem to have lost part of your brain between that time then please dont bother posting...it makes you look extremely stupid

no offence

EDIT:- Dragonforce sounds extremely hard to play, a lot of metal isn't actually all that hard until you get to the solo's, its only really the length of them that makes them seem hard

[Mark A.]

Steve Vai - Fire Strings :lol:

[Tommi Hendrix]

Tender Surrender - Steve Vai


but also very pretty.

[WindowLedge]

any of paganini's caprices

[Alive]

and what?

Edit but not really: that looks quite a lot like Hippocrates. It's meant to be the other word.

Dragonforce

[adamstartin]

Master of Puppets at full speed with downstrokes only.

[TheTastyLettuce]

Hate Eternal - Faceless One

Good to warmup.

[ESP/LTD KH202]

Between The Buried and Me - Selkies: The Endless Obsession

[Crysiss]

Smoke on the water. That song is hella hard.:rolleyes:


Seriously, theres alot of hard songs to learn.

[Trigger_003]

Steve Vai - Fire Strings :lol:
TRUTH!

but maybe, just maybe, that's because of the difficulty of actually getting your hands on the music.

lawl indeed.

Different abilities are going to find different songs easier or harder than another. One person will be an awesome soloist but just can't palm mute, so playing a song with palm muting will be difficult for them. It all depends on the specific player's strengths and weaknesses, so it's not something that can really be assessed too well.

I mean, I've been tutoring a few people, and Smells Like Teen Spirit is a killer for a lot of guitarists out there.

[TheColdNovRain89]

alot of stuff by extreme

[BLS_Infernus]

Master of Puppets at full speed with downstrokes only.

I haven't done that in ages. I've done that with Battery as well and that was much harder to do.

[adamstartin]

[seerofgoodpeople]

black dog. the riff is real easy its just the timing.that killed me for a long time cause i played it in 4/4 and not 5/4 like its supposed to be.

[WindowLedge]

getting a good gallop with battery is ridiculous if you downpick it all

[evolution]

little wing has a lot of suttle melodic nuances that are kinda tuff to pick up on, technically tho it's not the hardest, just hard to make sound right.

[ibanezman575]

Between The Buried and Me - Selkies: The Endless Obsession
the riffs are harder than the solo
its pretty basic sweeping if you ask me

[Roy.]

he's right. the drums kick in double time and make the song feel faster than it is.

[Ando!]

5/4? that changes everything! Neato!

[BLS_Infernus]

I'm talking about downpicking it. Battery was created gallop picking. That would make it harder. :thumb:

I'm past Metallica but they are fun to play to help warm up or help get the blood flowing.

[M7S]

allan holdsworth, frank gambale, brett garsed, etc.

takes a while to get those songs down.

[adamstartin]

I'm past Metallica but they are fun to play to help warm up or help get the blood flowing. You cant downpick the galloping in battery!!! Your wrist would fly off!!! If you can, hats off to your sir!

[M7S]

I'm pretty sure that you can pull that off with some practise as well :thumb:

[Happy]

It's alt picked anyway.

[TheTastyLettuce]

Metallica isn't fun to play :confused:

Godpuppet by The Haunted, that song ****ing destroys.

[blader]

Dragonforce

[BLS_Infernus]

Nah, James said it's gallop picked with down picking in a few areas.

:(
You know what I mean. The gallops are down-up-down.

[jbocro]

Try to play Call me the Breeze by Lynyrd Skynyrd or La Grange by ZZ Top!

[Jharaski]

Since when does that have to do with ANYTHING? As long as you're playing the right notes, the right length, and the right bpm there's nothing that should be any harder. Hell, I don't even usually do that 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 thing in my head when I play.

[Axem Black]

Valley of the Damned, solos - Dragonforce

[seth23k]

Master of Puppets at full speed with downstrokes only.


why would you do that though? isn't tha pointless?

Hey, let's completly ignore the structure of music.

[sheppard!!!!]

can u ask, what is galloping, cuz i have seen it come up a few times like gallop picking?????
:confused:

[sheppard!!!!]

hey try playing Metallica- ride the lightning with the solo. that solo is sooo f**king hard to play.

[BLS_Infernus]

why would you do that though? isn't tha pointless?

Because if you did that you would play it right.

Metallica songs aren't that hard.

[Soul_Power5150]

I was wondering what songs do you guys consiter hard play?

-Anything by Rusty Cooley

-"Perpetual Burn" by Jason Becker (anything by Jason Becker)

-Anything by Buckethead

[BLS_Infernus]

Most of Rusty Cooley is hard because the average player doesn't have an 8 string and can't tap like that.

[Jharaski]

Hey, let's completly ignore the structure of music.

I still dont see why that would make a difference in the middle of the riff. 4 measures of 5/4 is still in the end, the same as 5 of 4/4.

[seerofgoodpeople]

but it makes a big difference ,at least to me anyways, when playing with a full rhythm group.it just sounds off, but it wasnt just the middle of the riff the whole song,i mean the riff is the easy part.

[Happy]

:confused:
Gallops are consecutive palm mutes that sound like galloping. For example, The Four Horseman and Battery by Metallica use them. It's usually an 8th followed by 2 16ths over and over.

[Alive]

I still dont see why that would make a difference in the middle of the riff. 4 measures of 5/4 is still in the end, the same as 5 of 4/4.

Ok but I don't see anyone writing a waltz in 5/4 and saying it sounds like 3/4.

[Ima-MisFit]

smells like teen spirit

[mutant!]

...but no-one writes 5-bar melodies. Most "right"-sounding music is divided in groups of 4 bars.

[Jharaski]

Ok but I don't see anyone writing a waltz in 5/4 and saying it sounds like 3/4.

Eh true. But trying to play it in another time signature shouldn't make it any harder. You might just end on the 3 and.. and that might throw you off. Or something like that.

[Mild_child]

Dragonforce

[ibanezman575]

smells like teen spirit
we are 138 solo
some kinda hate solo

all easy

[Jharaski]

we are 138 solo

actually nailing the bends in we are 138 can be tricky if you suck at bends. like me.

[silverburst9]

fury of the storm- dragonforce
like light to the flies - trivium
captive honor (solo too...good luck.) megadeth

[Mild_child]

Dragonforce

[Mild_child]

Lots of stuff my Michael Angelo Batio
The list goes on, and on, and on.

[Daryl]

Dragonforce.

[Stoo]

Master of Puppets at full speed with downstrokes only.
I find it easier to play that downstrokes only. When I was learning it I wasn't very good at all at alt. picking.

[Doctor Night]

Led Zeppelin!

Try 'Since I've been loving you'.

Or learn the solo from 'Whole Lotta Love' and try and hit the 25th fret bend towards the end.

[Vitriolic Rage]

Necrophagist - Foul Body Autopsy

[Nargar]

hmm

satyricon - Possessed
kindy hard but not to hard.

[Mild_child]

Hey Dragonforce sounds good.

[Mild_child]

I SAID NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThePinkPanther]

[harris88]

the peter gun theme...

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

good warm up song would be "laid to rest" by lamb of god

hard song would be consider any song song that amazes you because of its fast aggressive mind crushing solos. that should eliminate enough songs to choose from i think

Why does it have to be fast, aggressive and a solo. I can think of many songs that are laid back and the riffs impress me. You don't have to like it for it to be hard. Hard is something you can't do.

[andy-o24]

I have fun solos lol.
avenged sevenfold eternal rest!!! fun fun fun
really any of their songs are fairly hard but they have some really uber easy ones. Go with A7X the kick!
