Learning Slashs parts to Welcome to the Jungle, Nightrain, Mr Brownstone, Rocket Queen and You Could Be Mine, just the solo left for YCBM.
Our band has a rock covers night in July....

Which good as half our practice is now GnR and the other half is our own stuff.

Learning Pantera's songs Domination and Floods. In the middle of May it will be a "Tribute to "Dimebag" Darrell Night Party" in local Rock Cafe. My band will play that two amazing songs



Sounds cool, well may have to do Pantera after our Guns night..:thu:

I've been trying to figure out Joe Pass's "Viruoso" arrangement of All the Things You Are but am on the verge of giving up.

It's too damn hard for my ear to figure out and I cant find a decent transcription :(

I think these Pass solo arrangements is biting off more than I can chew at this particular time

That's a pretty big bite!

Sam Brown - Stop.

 

I did a guitar version of the organ solo, and my band said "Oh, that is cool, lets make sure the keyboard guy doesn't try to take this solo next week" :D

 

("The keyboard guy" at the open mic is _really good_ so this really meant something!)

Not that particular song but you might try these instead.

Nice thread-idea!
:thu:

For me it may not make too much sense to post here everyday since I practice the same stuff for at least one week before I change material.

 

I must be short-bus material, . . I've been working on the same stuff for months and months (er . . years?) now:

 

Triad Arps > Pentatonic fingerings (common and non-common)

Triad Arps > Mode / Scale fingerings (common and non-common)

Triad 4-note voicings (9 inversions per string set)

7th chord voicings (4 inversions per string set) * drop-2 & drop-3 format

 

Visualization and vocalization of the above in all keys and chord types.

(Don't ask, I lost a bet with myself that I could memorize all of the above)

 

Pretty boring stuff now that I see it written out. ( I sooo need a life!)

 

cheers,

I actually, too have been practicing more or less the same material for months, but I do change the exercises or patterns.
If I work on scales I might use different sequences after a while. If I work on jazz improv I change the standard I'm working on, etc.:thu:

Don't get discouraged. That's a wonderful goal.

That's actually a big list Jed. No short bus needed.

Every time I think I have the "basics" mastered I find 50 different uses that prove to me that i don't! Good on ya for "going deep"

 

Often I wish I was disciplined enough to do just that.

In a previous post I said I learned a couple jazz licks? But did I really learn them?

 

Really?

 

Can I play them fluently in several positions? Can I play them forward, backward, etc? At high tempo?

 

No, I can't. To really know them will take much more effort.
