broganreynik Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thread necro! Thought I'd give an update on this in case anyone was interested. I was playing pretty heavily for about a month or so back when I started the thread, then I got busy and distracted and lost interest for a while. Started back up again about a month ago, just recently getting my calluses to a nice place. Anyways, I've been plucking away whenever I could and so far I've satisfactorily learned: 3AM - Matchbox 20 For the Moments I Feel Faint - Relient K The Messenger - Linkin Park Closing Time - Semisonic Wonderwall - Oasis I Want it That Way - Backstreet Boys Good Riddance - Green Day Mighty to Save - Chris Tomlin Holy is the Lord - Chris Tomlin Broken - Secondhand Serenade You & Me - Lifehouse Kountry Gentleman, Wobble - Family Force 5 a pretty modest list to be sure but it's sure been enjoyable! My wife would love it if I played some Family Force 5. She seems to think everything I play and/or listen to is hippie music. Are you just doing chords now or picking leads or arpeggios?

Nice to know someone else is familiar with them! I'm mostly just proficient with chords, but have learned a few songs with picking patterns and such. To add to the list: By Your Side - Tenth Avenue North The First Time - Family Force 5 This is a Call - Thousand Foot Krutch Rolling in the Deep - Adele Getting Into You - Relient K The first two and the last one have picking parts, but it's hard to be patient with them when I screw up If anyone has some suggestions for some mildly harder stuff I'm definitely up for hearing them.

walksalone Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I've been playing off and on for the better part of 20 years. I've never taken a lesson, and i'm kicking myself for not doing so. My ear's pretty good, but I can't read music to save my life. Quote Link to comment
