Sign in to disble this ad
Me and my friend are trying to find a song that is slightly challenging, so far we can find one of the other, either challenging bass or guitar, any recomendations for something that will make us both work? We listen to alot of thrash metal and folk metal. Any help would be appreciated.
And I plan on getting more active on the forums, but for now I'm a lurker.... |

It sounds like a cliche but that's probably one of rock'n'roll's equivelant of a jazz standard such as giant steps. eg every muso playing the tune will get owned.

This is also the reason we are having such problems finding a song. The plan is I'm leaving state for a couple months, when I get back we will have gotten the chosen song down and will play it together, it has to be challenging on both sides so we can can measure how good we got. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2010 Location: Anchorage Alaska | | | I agree that he needs to expand, but we are not a band, just me and him and we want to jam together when I get back, so we are looking for the one song. So far Master of Puppets is looking the best, besides the guitar solo. It would be great if he would at least consider bands out of the few genres he chose though, but I've known him half my life and know he won't. |

His bass player will keep you busy and you won't lose your crowd.

But when I said folk metal I was referring mainly to Korpiklaani, If I had a hammer means nothing to me. |
