Members tylytle Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 easy songs that just really screw with you. I am learning Real World by Matchbox 20. Really easy, I just seem to be having trouble with it. I have all the notes and all, Just can't seem to get it together... What are some of yours?

Members Jazz Ad Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 Back then it took me over a month to get the rhythm right in Immigrant Song.It's a pretty simple song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L-1329 Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 Wicked Sensation from Lynch Mob. I just cannot get the groove of that song down at all. It kicks my butt, and it's not a hard song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old band tried to do that one and our guitarist could never get it right so we finally gave up on it...........and a few years later we gave up on him. In the present band, I'm having a hell of a time clicking 100% on Ghostriders in the Sky (Outlaws style)......and I don't know why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slapthefunkyfour Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 The old guitarist in my band ghostowne could not get the hang of "Ring of Fire". He played it with us for 2 years and never once got that little fill correct. He is an amazing player, just couldn't catch on to that song.

Members Super_Donut_Man Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 For some reason Glosoli by Sigur Ros. It took too long to get, I guess because it was a really simple bass line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh Heh -- I sing that ( I say that a lot on the forum --- I want you guys to understand that Im one of those "Human Jukebox" guys - I can sing a billion tunes and can play even more: its one of the things I am known for in my area - and one of the reasons why I work/gig all the time) --...Surprisingly, I had no problem playing and singing the odd-phrased "Please Don't Change...the only thing that seems to work at all is you...." part....

Members SelenaBassGirl Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 I tend to lose concentration in Don't Close Your Eyes by Keith Whitley. That song makes my mind go stray b/c it reminds me of someone and I go into another world and then mess up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members collinwho Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Sunday Morning. I can play the main riff, chorus, bridge all perfectly, note for note or doing my own feel. For some reason I always crap away the verses, I have no idea why. Just keep woodshedding, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members basste Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Diana Krall - east of the sun.A jazz song with classical structure. We play this song with the band since two years, and i've still a problem with a chord change, which is easy but i often suck the walking here. Don't understand why.

Members RSBro Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 "come down" by Bush. Once I got it I got it, but for a while there it was a bugger to get that intro and verse part just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting that song exactly right, with the correct note timing is a little tricky, but very satisfying once you do it. Love playing that song.

Members justinbass Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 I'm embarrassed to say it, but I always make a few mistakes playing Weezer's "Island in the Sun" The song is stupid easy, and I always stop paying attention during it and flub a note or two. Thankfully I don't jam with anyone that plays that song anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why. Thats because it's to easy those are the songs I have the most trouble with cause I just space off in the middle of the song and the next thing you know wammo you just screwed up and are the unwanted center of attention.
