Songs

Following is a listing of Songs that I can or at one point could play. Some I can play the solo and some I can't. Some I could grab a guitar and play right now, some I haven't played in so long I would pretty much have to re-learn them. Asterisk indicates songs I jam on at least once per week.



Van Halen

• Ain't Talkin Bout Love*
• Beautiful Girls
• You Really Got Me
• Pretty Woman
• Running with the Devil
• Best of Both Worlds (this one is a real pain in the ass for me. I have to constantly play it if I want to be any good at it - same with Panama forget the solos other than Running with the Devil, I can't tap for shit)
• Panama
• Black and Blue

Led Zep

• Rock and Roll*
• Black Dog
• Over the Hills and Far Away
• Stairway (Haven't played this one since before the fire and the 18 year lay off from the guitar, but I found the Tab for the Solo a week or so ago so I've been messing around with that. Not a tough solo but it is just constructed so well. Obviously one of the most recognizable solo's of all time)
• Immigrant Song*(woo hoo, no solo in this one)

Ozzy/Sabbath

• Crazy Train*(forget about the solo in this one. I can play some of the fills, I just play the rhythm that is under the solo when I get to it)
• Diary of a Madman (another pain in the ass one that I have to keep re-learning. Randy Rhodes plays some pretty f'ed up chords in this one)
• Paranoid

Rainbow

• Since you've been gone

Quiet Riot

• Metal Health*

Scorpions

• The Zoo
• Rock you Like a Hurricane

Sammy Hagar

• One way to Rock (Great tune, but so damn easy it gets boring fast)
• Heavy Metal* (I learned this one in the mid 80's before all my guitars burned, I've been playing again for about a year - for some reason I never forgot this one)

Pink Floyd

• Another Brick in the Wall pt 2* (just learned this one, what a great solo. My fingers are killing me from trying to hit some of the bends that Gilmour has in it)
• Money

Beatles

• Day Tripper (I should learn more Beatles tunes)

Blue Oyster Cult

• Don't Fear the Reaper

Poison

• Nothin But a Good Time (C.C. hahahahahaha)
• Talk Dirty to Me

Eagles

• Hotel California

Coheed and Cambria

• The Suffering*

Cinderella

• Shake Me
• Save Me* (another one I learned back in the day. The reason I haven't forgotten this one is probably because in has 3 chords in it)
• Nobody's Fool

Tesla

• Rock me to the Top (The only tune I ever transcribed myself. After that process I decided I would just buy the Tab)

Dire Straits

• Sultans of Swing* (What a great tune. The Rhythm part is easy, the Lead has a ton of great licks in it. Don't have the whole solo down, but if I spent some time working on it seriously I would - I am beginning to love Dminor)

Metallica

• For Whom the Bell Tolls
• Am I Evil* (Can play most of the solo, haven't played it in a while. Love the Rhythm parts which I Jam to a lot)

Megadeth

• Peace Sells

Stryper

• The Way (what the hell was I thinking)

AC/DC

• Have a Drink on Me
• You Shook Me All Night Long

Boston

• More Than a Feeling
• Smokin

Doobies

• China Grove

Green Day

• Holiday

Judas Priest

• You've Got Another Thing Coming
• Livin After Midnight
• The Green Manalishi

Iron Maiden

• The Trooper (I should relearn this one. This one is a blast to Jam. I had it down about 6 months ago, but just stopped playing it. Maybe I'll go back and re-learn it then learn the solos)

Kiss

• Detroit Rock City

Motley Crue

• Looks That Kill (Fun tune, like a lot of old Crue)

The Monkees

• Last Train to Clarksville (who cares if they didn't play their instruments, hell when this was produced session guys played on most albums)

Thin Lizzy

• The Boys are Back in Town (I gotta relearn this one, it's fun to jam. Pretty easy so gets boring though)

U2

• Sunday Bloody Sunday

The Surfaris

• Wipe Out (Used to use this as part of my warm up, but after a while it just gets boring)

Paganini

• Part of Caprice 24 (I think it is) converted from Violin to Guitar. (I use it as part of my warm up. If I don't play this one at least every other day I lose it fast - well even when I do play it daily I can't play it to speed)
