What are some songs you can play? I can play quite a few but my favourite ones I can play are The Day That Never Comes and Nothing Else Matters.
coruscant00
I can play a whole bunch of cover songs ranging from Rush, Kiss, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Judas Priest, so on...

I've been playing a lot of bottleneck slide, so my choices are usually delta blues. Any of the old Blues masters! Son House, Charly Patton, Bukka White, lot of good stuff to listen to and play!

'Nothing else matters' was one of the very first songs I learned on guitar. The first guitar book I ever got was Metallica self-titled. These many years later, the songs that I enjoy playing the most are all classical. I enjoy this style the most because it is the most demanding and leaves the most room for musicality. My favorite individual piece to play is probably 'La Catedral' by Agustin Barrios.
Well Nothing Else Matters ( the very start ) is pretty much the easiest thing in the world. It's all the other parts are a bit trickier (like the solo).
You must mean just the very beginning Em where there is nothing but open strings. The rest of the intro at least takes some knowledge of finger picking and barre chord forms.
As far as the solo, it is kind of tricky in parts, but is definitely one of the easiest if not the easiest of the Metallica solos.

I play the guitar just like i play chess
I improvizing - this is really exciting, and most of the time ends up as a total disaster:) in chess and in gutar either - but sometimes I find very nice solutions
Of course I use patterns - and from that pattern (like the opening in chess) comes out the impro
I can play some easy songs by heart to - but my favorites are: Janis Joplin's version of Summertime - it has a beautiful gutar part http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTFF-BaT0MM of course I'm not able to play that song that well
the other song I know by heart is White Rabbit from Jeff. Airplane http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZY-6Gzmuy4&feature=related
but for most of the songs I have to use the tab
'White Rabbit' has about four chess references. Far out.
P.S. Feed your head...
Yeah because it's about Alice who was in wonderland and then went through the looking glass, in the first she was among playing cards, in the second she turned out to be a pawn, who becomes the queen in the end.

As well as coruscant00, I can also play many songs by metallica, slayer, judas priest and similar bands. I can also play som led zep and some instrumental songs like die to live by steve vai.
JohnPaulGeorgeRingo
I wuold like to learn While my guitar gently weeps from the Beatles
don't foreget for the love of god from steve vai...that is one of his best pieces out there!!!
yea for the love of god is amazing but it also has got some really hard parts in it. I think I'll have to practice that song a little bit and see if I can play it now that you mentioned it.
