Out of those songs..id play Seek

What gets me though,is why you have to audition? i mean,if there is no formal entry requirements,then that suggests even newbie players can take the course...and seeing as its a course,to learn guitar and get better...why do you need to audition,and have to have a grade 3 song?

Anyway....any chance of upping a recording of you playing seek?

By no formal entry requirements they mean that you don't need to have specific number of highers or certain amount of A grades or whatever in your qualifications.

The course is a general Rock Music course where you do a bit of everything, playing in bands with other people on the course, recording, music theorey, rock history etc, so they are looking for people who have at least a little bit of experience on their chosen instrument.

I'll try and record me playing S&D over the weekend and put up a link here. There's some parts I need to go over on the song first, it's been a wee while since I played it lol.

Eventhough if you think so, you could add most of Metallica songs, they aren't that difficult, you just have to be fast and be good at downpicking, imo

Yes, you are right. Some solos are a little tricky, but for most of them it just a matter of practice.

Have you ever tried some Death-songs? Man, those solos are difficult.

[wolfway]

same for deth-songs those can be real fast

i don't play solo's that much (not that good yet) but the one's that are pretty easy to do are orion first solo (the solo's before the harmonic part), the unforgiven, fade to black (intro/middle/end), sanitarium intro, and ofcourse NEM

haven't really tried others

[wherever-i-roam]

i have no idea what grade i am either so i dont really know, but orion would probably be a good choice (including the solos)

[danfran17]

what you want to do is forget about what grade you are trying to achieve and show how proficient you are in all aspects by playing a "Fade to Black" sort of thing. Try some some fingerpicking for the intro and some riffing during the heavy part. soloing without backing sounds terrible unless it is something like "eruption" or equally identifiable on its own......good luck!!!!!!

I play guitar sometimes, but I'm not quite good. But is fun to play.

Did your audition go well? This one guy said he learned Seek first, if that's the first song he learned including the solo then good lord O_o.

First song I learned and did was bells.
