To the guitar players

[BFT12890]

I had lessons for years as a child, but I made the most progress on my own just trying to learn the way slash from guns n' roses (snakepit and velvet revolver as well) plays. aside from pearl jam, stevie ray vaughan and the perennial go-to classic rock bands, no one else has influenced me more as a player. if you can learn a few solos off of 'appetite for destruction' I don't care what genre of music you're interested in, you might well be the best musician in the room.

Hahaha, very nice, ill have to look up some of slash's stuff, Kirk Hammett is one of my personal favorites, hopefully someday i can play like him. until then I try to do some of his more simple stuff.

The first few songs I learned were "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd, "Hey Hey My My" by Neil Young, and "Come as You Are" by Nirvana... don't bother with the solos yet, but the chord (and most single-note) progressions are all quite simple! Plus they're repetitive enough to master quickly, while being cool enough to impress your friends.

Thank you! you listed some very good songs (better yet ones I hadn't thought of) Ill have to check them out.

I use Ultimate-guitar.com for tabs, you all know of any other good sites??
