I'm not in a serious band or anything, I mainly play for the fun of playing. I like to create my own songs, but like most of us I'm sure, I like to play songs by the bands I like. So my question is, what song can you not get enough of playing right now?
My current obession is The Anarchist by Rush off of Clockwork Angels. Basically got it down, but it is so much fun to play. Singing while playing this line is tough though. | Awesome to hear you are learning some new Rush. Great CD. I'm learning 38 new songs for a new band. Some I used to know. Whiskey Rock a Roller(Skynrd), One Way Out(Allman Bros), Movin' on(Bad Co.), Born Under a Bad Sign, South Bound, Get over it(Eagles), Melissa, Sweet Home Chicago, Fool for your Stockings. These are pretty fun to learn/re-learn  Quote:

After work I sat down and figured out the key and the riff he was playing.
It's a fun driving blues riff, sort of a hot rodded Green Onions

I started with Walking On the Moon (Police, oft-recommended for beginners in these forums) and now am playing Alison (Elvis Costello), as well as a handful of folk and rock originals to play with my band when I'm not playing keyboards.

The SECOND I think "Yup got this" further study proves me wrong, I'm very close, and I am, however, at the point of realigning the physical requirements in order to hit transitions on time. Sometimes it pays to start elsewhere, note wise, rather than at the obvious....

On a P-bass , thumb and first finger plucking and right hand palm mute , a really cool sounding version of the studio version keyboard bass part. |

On piano, United States of Eurasia (same artist and album). That piano part is fairly okay to learn, but catches you out at full speed
