I played on some v-drums last week at a Guitar Center opening event. LOUD! FUN!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

A friend of mine has the Roland V-drums. They are amazing beyond belief!! More fun than anything. If I had money burning a hole in my pocket I'd pick some up.

i just started playing Guitar,
Does anyone know some good noob songs for me to learn, preferably in the metal genre, and that dont have too many power chords or chords in them.

Black Sabbath has lots of good stuff besides Iron Man. Pretty easy too. Pick up one of thier books.

I can play the flute!! ...?

And I play the piano. My crowning achievements were learning Beethoven's first movement of his piano solo #14 in c# minor, op. 27 via sheet music (I'm dreadful at sight reading), and a piano transcription for the Zelda 2 Temple music which I developed by playing by ear. I'm learning George Winston's variation's on the Canon, I'm a little over half-way but my motivation died six weeks ago, or I might be done with it by now. Next up is more by ear video game music, hopefully moderately obscure (I'm the only person I know who actually liked Zelda 2). I'm thinking FF1, or maybe something from Mario 3/Super Mario World. I know those games are popular, but who plays the songs from them?

[Chefelf]

Slade, I still have that MP3 of your playing the orginal Zelda theme. It comes up in my playlist every so often. Memories.

[barend]

zelda theme is a popular cover...

i wan't to do a cover of 'alex kid'

it's pretty much two notes for two bars, then lower, then repeat for an hour....

[Heccubus]

I've been meaning to implement samples from old NES songs into my Ageispolis work. So far: nothing.

[Slade]

Nate: Sweet! I really need to make a full version of that, and then do the Zelda 2 thing properly recorded or something. I have Gnomesong! on my playlist. /tear

I'm 23. Is it too late for me to pick up guitar? I've wanted to play it bad for 2 years now, but never got my act together.

I hate school, and hate my courses, and hate just about everything else. I want to do music for relaxation and happiness. Also, I want to have the potential to become a rock star.

It's never too late! Especially if it's for the reasons you've given (minus 'rock star', but that helps ).
I've been playing for about 5 years now and i sound like a 2nd year student at best. It's just a hobby, i have no real aspirations (anymore). Even so, if my hand hasn't touched a fretboard in a week or two i get really tense.

On a side note: I'm currently trying to learn 'Horizons' by Steve Hackett on guitar. From a tab. This is mostly an excercise in dexterity for me. I can play about 7/10 of it alright but there are some stubborn bits in there, plus i don't have the feeling that Steve puts into it. but i like playing it anyway.

Another 'conquest': about a year ago i figured out and tabbed some basic melodies from certain Final Fantasy Tactics songs.

[Jordan]

I'm not a bad singer, and I started writing songs like last year, I'm really want to play live. I've never done it, but am pal of mine is in a band, he's a wicked guitar player. It's indie rock, Their head singer sucks shit, so I might take a stab at it. I don't need to play a guitar to join, but I would like to have the skills so that I could have the option to play rythm or something.
