Hey all,

thanks

I got a couple for ya'. Learn "Cliffs of Dover" by Eric Johnson and then learn "Satch Boogie" by Joe Satriani. That should keep you busy for a while.

The solo to Led Zep 'Heartbreaker' is kickas$ to learn too hahaha but first riffwise I suggest tackling almost anything by Akkers (ACDC that is) and on such a loud amp ya gotta crank out a bit of Sabbath 'Paranoid'.

Well, with a Randall amp, you should be good for the first two Pantera albums. if you're looking for a workout for your fingers, then you can always start learning your Yngwie Malmsteen. If you're just looking for some fun with all that Volume, Couldn;t go wrong with Either AC/DC or Motorhead. HTH!

Cool! I'll learn some more stuff tonight. I'm only playing rythym stuff, i've given up on leads.

What are some Motorhead songs to learn?

Bow at the altar of ACDC. You will be soloing in no time. Start mega simple and go from there. I gotta decent Eric Johnson instruction video if ya wanna copy?

Holy scheisse, Dave! That'd take me at least 6 months, and that's if I practiced both for like an hour a day each (Alan suddenly figures out what he's gonna do with the free time he'll have next semester) lol

2 words my man nick.. : iron maiden

alot of their rhythm stuff is killer and is simple as pie.... mmmmm i like pie.... oh yah! back on track! ok anywho i'd reccommend learning the rhytm for "wicker man" and "fear of the dark" and the intro to " wasted years" for lead... try AC/DC's highway to hell... the solo in there is simple... and it sonds neato in copius amounts....

If your looking for some cool/easy rythm stuff then go learn Metallica's Black Album. Pretty easy riffs yet still sound sweet. If you wanna work on solos and your rythm work then go learn Metallica's Master of Puppets. Learn the Interlude solo, its slow and sounds awesome!!! Twisted Evil

James plays it and hes the rythm guy so dun give up on leads. You can still step into the spotlight every now and then Laughing
