I hate playing songs that barely have anything going on in them or just an open string. I started mid August so I've been playing for a good two and a half months but can still only play a few albums. I know pretty much every marilyn manson song as I have learned Antichrist Superstar, Smells Like Children, and Born Villain. So a good amount after just starting, right? Well I'd like something more challenging with some fingering. Mainly looking for some classic rock like Steve miller, Foreigner, definitely some Rush! And some 80s metal like megadeth and Anvil. But some 90s and new stuff works. Thanks for any suggestions!!!
There aren't many “easy” Rush songs, but the easier ones for me are Distant Early Warning and Beneath, Between & Behind. For good 90s stuff, “Going the Distance” by Cake was one of my favorites when I first started. Check out the album “Elephant Riders” by the band Clutch. The title track as well as “The Yeti” and “The Soapmakers” have been my warm-up songs for a long time.
Are you sure you can play all that in two months ? Is your timing right ? Have you sat in with a guitar and drums ? Play a dozen Social Distortion songs and work on timing. Social D is raw rock and roll with easy bass lines but when arranged kick ass. Great for timing
Chopps yeah I can play all that. Manson bass lines are real easy and I'm in a band and I sing and play bass with my guitarist and occasionally my guitarist and drummer
