      I absolutely LOVE playing Stairway to Heaven! ;P I would really like to learn how to play the solo in it though... I can play it but really slowly, I can't play it fast or with fancy effects :( Oh, and I also like playing Thunderstruck.

      What do you mean by fancy effects ? The only effect I can think of on that solo is string bending. If you can't bend your strings, buy some lighter ones. I had that problem early on, too. That's a pretty easy solo, you should break it into bite size pieces, and perhaps download a program like 'guitar pro' that will give you a backing you can speed up over time to get up to speed.

        Enjoy this one (mp3): The Flight of The Bumble Bee (Ultra fast) [^]. ~~~ although it's not the original. I once found an website with mp3 available for two Russian ladies playing "The Flight of The Bumble Bee" duo with Banjos about two years ago. Maxwell Chen

          ... and those that would like to: what is your favourite song to play on the guitar or what song would you like to know how to play? I'm expecially thinking about those songs that require you to use your finger-picking skills, for instance like "Babe, I'm gonna leave you". I'm looking for some ideas to broaden my "repertoire" so any ideas would be welcome :-)

            I know that some (at least I use to). It is fun to play and watch your fingers contort. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

              Pink Floyd's "Is There Anybody Out There?" from "The Wall" Here is short WAV file of me playing it[^] Please hold your insults - I had just clipped my right-hand fingernails a few hours earlier - deadly for classical or finger-style playing. It is an arpeggiated Am chord where the root note advances by mostly half-steps. An excellent finger-style practice piece. The tablature is here: Is There ANybody Out There tablature[^] edit: Weird - it sounded fine in sndrec32 before I ULed it but when I tested the link and it played in WinAmp, it sounds like it is going through a distortion pedal. Kind of cool :)

Yeah - it is more of a guitar excercise than a song, but when I first heard it in 79 I loved it and knew I had to play it. A few years later, I started playing the guitar and learned to play that from listening to the song. It is absolutely the easiest song to play that still sounds rich and full.

                          "Street Spirit" by Radiohead is a great song to finger-pick... Uses a Am/Em/C9 arpeggio chord sequence.

                                I like the intro/verse to Tesla's "What you give". It's easier fingerpicked. After the acoustic intro/verse thing it just rocks. I'm a fan of dual guitarist though. nay

                                      I love playing some of the longer Metallica songs--And Justice For All, Master of Puppets, To Live Is To Die, etc. They have lots of interesting changes that make them fun. I also like playing their more melodic stuff--Sanitarium, Fade To Black, One... they're just VERY satisfying when you nail it. Of course, if you don't like Metallica this doesn't help. A very fun one to play is The Rain Song by Led Zeppelin--but you gotta tune your guitar VERY oddly to get it right (something like DADGAD... can't remember off the top of my head). There's lots of Zep that's fun to play, and not particularly hard once you learn it. Black Dog, Stairway, Over The Hills and Far Away... fun stuff.

I'm expecially thinking about those songs that require you to use your finger-picking skills, for instance like "Babe, I'm gonna leave you". I'm looking for some ideas to broaden my "repertoire" so any ideas would be welcome :-)

                                        Fav pieces to play: - Bach's Cello Suite #6 (my transcription) - Agustin Barrios's "La Catedral" - Leo Brouwer's Decameron Negro (chicks dig this believe it or not, at least they did in Italy), and Concerto Elegiaco. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

                                          Enjoy this one (mp3): The Flight of The Bumble Bee (Ultra fast) [^]. ~~~ although it's not the original. I once found an website with mp3 available for two Russian ladies playing "The Flight of The Bumble Bee" duo with Banjos about two years ago. Maxwell Chen

                                          Wow - I think that may be faster than Nuno ( and he used a delay pedal to increase the speed effect ). Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder
