Your Favorite Song To Play...

Nice list,
I used to play conventional songs, now don't like constraints on my creativity so i improvise constantly.
I use looping pedals and my guitars to make "live soundscapes" which means i can overdub myself in layers in a live situation....


this should link you to one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOn7wVKBhOw

 

Hmmm I would say Ride the Lightning by Metallica is my favorite to play on guitar that songs so sick but I kno a lot of other songs too

 

Moe. - The road
Moe. - Zed nought Zee
Hendrix - Red house, wind cries mary (my favorite)
Black keys - Thickfreakness
Phish - 46 days, stash, dirt

I also love finding backing tracks and just jamming on them.

I've been recording a bit lately, maybe ill post up some versions of songs I've done.

 

ive been trying to learn a lot of All Shall Perish lately, i have most of "the price of existence" down.

 

I play bass, i like to play dazed and confused when im stoned,i improvise with songs playing in the backround, i get so much creativity when im blitzed.

 

(instrument: drums)

pawn shop - sublime
who are you - the who
my generation - the who
misty mountain hop - led zeppelin
over the hills and far away - led zeppelin
communication breakdown - led zeppelin
dammit - blink 182
first date - blink 182


lots more, but the list would be of considerable length.

i've been playing on and off for about 8 years but just started learning songs like 4 or 5 years ago. really, any song i wanna learn just takes a few listens and probably a few sessions of 1-2 hour intervals, plus i like to improvise and add stuff to the original songs (e.g. tom fills and such). i have a weird way of being able to visualize the drummer playing the song and then i try to emulate the way i imagine them playing it....i dunno, it's hard to explain.

 

across the universe - the beatles
blackbird - the beatles
us and them - pink floyd
goodbye blue skies - pink floyd
postcards from italy - beirut
no surprises - radiohead
ashes of american flags - wilco

 

eww Blink Mike, dude, try out some Rage next time you're lit with your guitar. Riffs are pretty simple but sound so good (beats blink, too, heh)

 

About a girl is a excellent song, anything by Nirvana is good to play, bass, guitar, drums, vocals, its all good. For drums the best songs are tool in my opinion, attempting to play those songs will make you good at drums really fast, some of that shit is insane on the drums. Rush is also very good for drums. Steve Vai is something that is good to play on the guitar, all the songs you mentioned are good on the guitar. Money by Pink Floyd is a great song for bass. Anything from Primus is good on bass, I don't like the Redhot Chili Peppers anymore, but if you want to get your ass kicked on bass try playing "Get Up and Jump", its retarded how fast the bass is.

 

(instrument electric four string bass guitar)

i like to play the super mario theme song.
and what is and should never be by led zeppelin.

 

I love playing Zeppelin, too. Nobodies Fault But Mine, Over The Hills and Far Away, etc,

And of course, I can always pull out Slow Blues by Hendrix. One of thew few 'solo' songs I know well enough to play fucked up.

 

Sublime- No Woman No Cry
Sublime- Santeria
Wolfmother-Joker and the Theif
Just a few of my favourites to play on guitar.

 

Personally, I like to write and play my own music. Although, if I'm feeling lazy, I'll play some As I Lay Dying or All that Remains.

 

Guitar, electric and classical.

Classical Gas is still probably my favorite song to play

And I know a ton of System of a Down, great rhythmic style rock music.

 

All super mario themes
little wing - jimi hendrix (took me forever)
say it aint so - weezer
zeplike - slightly stoopid
closer to the sun - slightly stoopid
scarified - racer x (its a work in progress but I constantly practice and play what I know)
badfish - sublime
cemetery gates - pantera
