what was your first played songs during the noob phase ?
Hey all,
I play for one month now, i can do parts of high bells and orion.
I tried eyes of the tigers, the first on songsterr, well, I'm not ready yet. Total fail 🫠.
Im now going on game of throne's main thème.
After the introduce, here my asking.
What do you have in your bag, who can be "ez" and btw learn technics, chords (for fingers, brain will come later for me) ? 🤔
PS : almost forgot brother Jacob 😂.
Ps2 : I'm playing on an electric, if that's important 🤘
Im pretty sure my first one was Rape Me by Nirvana. Not the classic SLTS because the string changes were too much for me while learning power chords at the same time 😄
Sounds great! I'd suggest to go for one thing at a time though. Doing muted power chords with alternate picking is tough to get right, even more advanced players don't do it very often (and I'd say I'm unable to do it very well neither). Most times, doing downstrokes only on palm mutes sounds way better as you'll always hear the pick direction, and you sacrifice a lot of punch when the power chords alternate in their quality.
I see the other dude got you changing your tuning. In that case go to drop D and try some Tool and Rage against the Machine. That should keep you busy!
On acoustic : Ben E King - Stand by me, Eric Clapton - Wonderful Toniggt, The Eagles - Hotel California, Extreme - More than Words (fingerstyle in Eb), Oasis - Wonderwall, Oasis - Champagne Supernova
If you forego the harmonics and don't mind changing the tuning to drop C (or C#, I don't recall off the top of my head) - "They Say" by Scars on Broadway is really easy (iirc, my first song I learned); although this will not teach you much in terms of technicalities and chords.
In general, if you can wrap your head around alternate picking, SoaD songs are relatively easy to learn and a banger to play (with some notable exceptions), although they will mostly teach you rhythm and speed, not much when it comes to chords
You're welcome. Just remember to grab higher-gauge strings; for drop C I usually go for sth around 10-52, range (maybe even higher). Otherwise the strings will get loose, resulting in a buzz
