    What songs can you play in real life?

    Just wondering what the real musicians of these forums enjoy to play for fun.

    I can play the following songs on drums:

    Devil in Jersey City (I've almost got this one down) -Coheed and Cambria
    A Favor House Atlantic -Coheed and Cambria
    Ten Speed (of God's Blood and Burial) -Coheed and Cambria [I like Coheed ^.^ ]
    Adams Song -Blink 182
    Special Needs -Placebo
    Pure Morning -Placebo

    Granted, drums are probably a lot easier than, say, guitar or bass, but it's still an instrument, so shudup!

    I've played guitar for just over a year and a half now and recently got a new amp, tons of affects and i can finally play the music i want . My wah pedal broke on me, so im also stuck with only a piece of crap FAB overdrive pedal.

    Lacking ability to actually SOUND like most good songs that i've wanted to learn has caused me to not try to hard...which sucks but...In roughly alphabetical order going through my Windows Media Player i see i can play:

    .38 Special - Hold On Loosely

    Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal

    All That Remains-
    Most of The Air That I Breathe, Everything but the actual solo of Six, Regret Not

    The Allman Brothers Band - Jessica Majority of the song except when it gets into the actual solo/faster bit

    Avenged Sevenfold-
    All but solo in Beast And The Harlot, Random riffs from Bat Country, About half of Unholy Confessions (not the solo though), Intro/Outro and chorus' in Chapter Four

    Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower Can play the rhythme for almost the whole song and then the lead intro solo, just not cleanly.

    Breaking Benjamin -
    Verse's and part of chorus for Breath, Intro/outro Until The End, The Diary Of Jane, Medicate, Polyamorous, Shallow Bay, Wish I May, Skin, Intro/outro and verse's of So Cold

    Cartel - Say Anything (Else), Honestly

    Chris Gerelmo - Over There Theme Song

    The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love All of the rhythme/backup guitar, the first solo, 3rd solo, and also final solo at half speed.

    Dick Dale - Misirlou Full speed and entire song with personally added parts =] (One of my best songs)

    Disturbed -
    Prayer, Down With The Sickness, Random parts of Land Of Confusion (not solo though).

    (I'll butcher the spelling of this name and idk if its by him)Bethoven - Fur Elise

    Evans Blue - About half of Cold (But I'm Still Here)

    Goldfinger, Mest, and Good Charlotte - All with a messy solo of The Innocent

    Good Charlotte -
    Walk Away (Maybe), Solo from S.O.S., Dont remember all of it but most of Mountain, Little Things, Intro riff to Waldorf Worldwide, Know the chords and the order to play East Coast Anthem, About half of Seasons, The Click, All except solo of The River (this song features Avenged Sevenfold), Dance Floor Anthem, Solo for All Black, Intro, some of verses and chorus of Broken Hearts Parade, The Anthem, Wondering, Hold On (All time favorite song to play), Half of Movin' On

    Green Day - Intro and solo for Wake Me Up When September Ends

    Guns N' Roses - Intro Sweet Child O' Mine

    Led Zeppelin - Intro Stairway To Heaven

    Metallica - Half of lead intro and solo, full intro rhythme Fade To Black, Enter Sandman

    My Chemical Romance -
    Dead!, Most of Famous Last Words, Intro to Teenagers, Parts of Ghost Of You

    Nickelback - Solo of Savin' Me

    Nirvana - Almost all of Smells Like Teen Spirit

    Ozzy Osbourne - Intro, half speed verse, and beginning part of solo for Crazy Train

    Black Sabbath - All but solos for Iron Man

    Kansas - Random riffs from Carry On My Wayward Son

    The Von Bondies - C'mon C'mon (Its the "Rescue Me" tv show's theme song)

    Wolfmother - Woman, The Joker And The Thief

    Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become, Intro and verse riff of Riot, Intro of Scared, Intro, verses, and outro of I Hate Everything About You


    I know that i can play some stuff by ACDC and Def Leppard but the names escape me at the moment. This is just a rough overlay of what i have in my Media Player that i can play, i can do a few more songs...but i mainly picked up a guitar thanks to guitar hero so i've learned mainly Guitar Hero songs in the past.

    Would LOVE to be able to get a few effects pedals but dont have the cash for it (as i just turned 16 and don't have a job quite yet). Anyone have any suggestions on good effects switches/pedals for playing music from Hendrix to Breaking Benjamin? Would love some advice on what to get to play mainly stuff from the alternative metal and rock bands (Protest The Hero, All That Remains, Breaking Benjamin, etc).

    I played with nothing but a classical for about 3 months, exchanged it for a steel string, and didn't have an electric till I was a year in. Don't let the crappy distortion put you down!!!!
