"The hardest thing to do in the world...ever!"

Go and grab yourself a guitar of any description and play the intro to All My Life by the FooFighters. Basically its just a G power chord but if you're rubbish at playing the guitar just play a G note. Listen to the song for the rhythm if you dont know it.

Now for the hard part.

Try singing along to it. Doesnt sound hard but it is. Singing and playing it at the same time is nearly impossible. It makes Dave Grohl even more of a ledgend IMO.

i am lerning gutair in my music class it is so easy the first time i tired it.

I struggle to even play the start of the song.

Just refering back to the topic, the hardest thing in the world is the solo in Metallicas' Seek and Destroy. If anyone can play it properly (correct speed and no blunders) then I'd be very impressed ...

I get Guitar Pro tabs from www.mysongbook.com

When I play clean I usually end up throwing together emo sounding stuff, so it's not my strong point.

I have a pretty aggressive playing style that I've probably adopted as a result of listening to ATDI/The Mars Volta/Radiohead, so I 'hack' at the guitar quite a bit sometimes, muting all the strings that aren't meant to sound.

Legato is awesome as well though.

I find they're best.



If they don't have it it's worth checking out here aswell.

That's the only place I get mine from. I only ever go for the five star rated ones but even then I get a few dodgy one's.

Where does everyone get their tabs from ?

Yup.

My chord progression abilities are shown within the tabs I make, or find and play. Where there is a repeated pattern but it moves around alot.

I find clean stuff very satisfying and friends say I have a knack of making them myself, equally they say my heavy strumming is crap. So I just stick to the picking.

yeah, it's easier to use different dynamics but again, practise allows you to do this with a pick as well, though I don't think it's ever really as effective.

I've never really bothered with finger-picking much since I can do pretty much everything I want to do using a pick, and I can see a lot of the lead runs I enjoy playing being very difficult using my fingers. I like the aggressive 'biting' sound a pick gives.

Do you play more clean than overdriven stuff?
