The other day i started learning SRV's Voodoo Chile through tabs, and it's quite a challenge. I'll probably have it down in a month or so. It'll be awesome when i can play the whole thing well.

So what song are you trying to learn now?

sappy by nirvana... VERY simple song but i cant for the life of me find anything on how to play it

working on frank zappa's zoot alures , almost got it nailed and the solos from creams crossroads , that'll do for now

Thanks for the link nevin.... now off to my ovation to master that song

i train my ears and improvisating with this:

michael katon - the devil's daughter
G3 - going down
and slow stuff from joe satriani
home
slow down blues
sittin' around, good to train my slide playing

cheers

I've been working up Freddie King instrumentals lately, so far I have about four down and I'm about half way through another two. I'm just going to learn the whole album, they're fun to play and it can be a bit of a challenge to work them out by ear.

I'm also going back to the first blues song I ever learned, Pride and Joy, to work out the rhythm part again. I still play the beginner version I was taught, and I know for a fact that I'm good enough to play the real version now.

I'm also working on soul, jazz, country and a lot of different styles just for the fun of it.

I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk...

Is that not the same song Billie Holiday sang and Bobby Womack did an astonishing version of but he changed it to Nobody WANTS You When You're Down and Out.

Check out both these versions l'il bro. You will love!!

I've been piecing together Hendrix's version of Voodoo Chile since I started playing and recently started up on it again. I had a stripped down version going but now I'm able to add in some of that Hendrix flavor to make it sound more like the real deal. Mostly though I've been learning the blues from the ground up. No real songs yet just various versions of the 12 bar blues and some licks to play over top. Just started to learn a cool Texas style shuffle too.

lately i havn't been working on any single song. i am trying to further myself in lead guitar playing. i have rythem guitar down pat but i am still shabby with the lead guitar. so for the next few months lead guitar practice all the way!!!

Like alanssaab I'm workin' on Cream's Crossroads
