311thrice Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 That's a tough one, but I've always been partial to playing my Bad Religion records. My favorite would be Suffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest falloutcollapse Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I play the A-side of Highly Refined Pirates every day. I'm still trying to figure out a few songs on the B-side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually has two of those on his pedalboard, along with many other assorted goodies. I don't know how he keeps all that tapping/sampling organized in his brain. I'm convinced he's a droid.

Definitely a droid. I saw them in May, and I purposely stood right in front of him just to watch, and I was losing my mind when he was doing all the tapping to "The Fix," soloing, and drinking a beer in between. Total badass. I'm going to finish Pirates by this weekend and get a start on Oso pretty soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually try not to learn guitar stuff that I'm amazed by, because then it takes that "magic" away when you listen to it. I like to preserve that if I can.

steventangent Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'm kinda with Ronnie, just in that I don't bother learning a lot of my favorite songs. I mean, I still jam the Sabbath, but I don't sit around trying to figure out Weakerthans songs. "Pamphleteer" is one of the most beautiful chord progressions ever, but I feel like if I learned it, it would take something away for me.

Guest falloutcollapse Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I know that there is no way in hell I can replicate Knudsen, and I'm really just learning Oso to get a feel for the DL4, since I got it very recently. I know that I kind of took the magic from my favorite CD, but it's so much fun to play along to it, so I'm at a rough spot, but overall, it's so much fun playing the Bear.

I feel like when I learn a song on guitar, it means more to me. When I see that band, I wanna get up on stage and play that song with the band. Much more personal for me.

ronniethebear Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Here's how I feel about it: When I hear something mind-blowing, like a badass guitar riff (see: Botch, These Arms Are Snakes, Baroness), a lot of the time I think to myself, "Whoa, how in the hell did they come up with that?" Sometimes it's something really simple, and then if I happen to pick it out casually (not intending to "learn" it) it can end up being disappointing because there might not be much technicality to it; a lot of the time, the simplicity is what makes it so effective. So then I'm left feeling let down and that part might not have as much impact when I listen to it again. Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I try and learn the drum parts to all of my favorite records, so on the off-chance that the band's drummer gets sick/breaks a limb/etc. and can't go on whenever I see them live, I could jump in and save the day.

skumbucket Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 my faves for guitar are "left and leaving" and bad astronaut's "acrophobe." along with the early alkaline trio. i remember that being some of the stuff i first taught myself how to play. also, "burn one down" by ben harper because it was the first song i ever learned.

Guest falloutcollapse Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 You should start trying to write your own stuff. The earlier the better. Completely on it. On the soccer off-season, I play guitar 3-4 hours a day. I'm actually practicing my alternate picking right now as I type this with one hand.

ronniethebear Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I just bought a DL4 along with a new pedalboard. After playing around with it, I'm convinced that Dave uses one for different delay settings and one strictly for looping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
