Songs With Lots of Left Hand Movement?

Sign in to disble this ad
I really want to learn some songs that involve lots of intricate left hand movement. Any ideas? Books you can suggest?

Yeah, most anything by Rush?

I'm also thinking Yes (as usual)... the first part of Starship Trooper, not too fast but it really uses just about the whole fretboard.

Yeah they don't need to be crazy fast songs just songs that keep you moving. Also not necessarily a lot of movement up and down the fretboard, just lots of finger movement.

Don't know if metal is your style, but Between The Buried and Me and Protest The Hero has some good stuff...
