What Are You Currently Learning?

Beacons · 02-05-2012, 05:22 PM

Thought i'd try and freshen this board up a bit and hopefully spark some sort of discussion. I'm interested in what people are currently learning, whether it be whole songs, certain riffs, solos or even basic exercises or scales. Hopefully the responses will spark some others to try different styles of playing.

Im just finishing up Practice What You Preach by Testament. I've found that alot of rhythm is my weakness. My right hand needs alot more work then my left when it comes to playing so learning thrash songs has helped quite a bit with getting crisp clean rhythms down.

Next im going to try and tackle that new Spawn of Possession song which will be a challenge for sure.

Working on Prelude To The Apocalypse by Decrepit Birth. I don't get some of the fingerings on the RoG tab, but then again, maybe on a six string they make more sense (I'm playing it on a 7 and a third down, don't feel like switching guitars). Fun little song to play, not quite as difficult as I expected it to be.
