Good pro gat songs to learn guitar and chords with?

I'd say rooster is a great chord song, as well as Every rose has its thorn, Jane says, I Alone and To be with you.

At least these are the first ones that come to mind.

The Only Exception is modified barre chords with ringing open strings in an alternate tuning. and Private Eyes is all power chords and single notes.

so, no on both counts.

I have absolutely no idea what you just said and I play Pro Guitar every other day.

Because thats guitar terminology?

Here's a couple of good DLC tracks for chords. As mentioned above, Rocksmith would be a great choice however if you don't live in America you will have to wait about 3/4 months at least for it to be released.


How You Remind Me - Nickelback
Second Chance - Shinedown
This Love - Maroon 5 (Also in Rocksmith)
Jerk It Out - Caesars
Machinehead - Bush

In short:

barre - holding down multiple strings at the same fret with your index finger

open string - pluck the string, but do not touch it with fretting hand

alternate tuning - standard guitar tuning has strings tuned (high to low) to E, B, G, D, A, E; but there are other variations occasionally used

power chord - usually a chord with just the root and fifth (do you know "do re mi fa sol la ti do"? Root and fifth are do and sol respectively)

Californication by RHCP is also another very good chord song.

You keep surprising us, Cipher. Have you never touched the Pro tutorials in Rock Band 3? You have to know at least some of these terms, and what they mean.

I played them and learned what a fret was. I did pass all of the beginner ones and some of the harder ones, though!

It is possible to go through the exercises in the tutorials and never read what they say in the lessons. I've been guilty of playing through without giving much thought to the lingo, chord names, riffs etc. There should probably be some kind of pop quiz to test not only skills, but general music/gtr knowledge after a certain number of lessons. Of coarse, I'd probably fail :P

Hell, I didn't know what a tom was until I was well into playing Expert Pro Drums.
