When I started guitar I SWORE I would never learn Stairway to Heaven. 30 years later I'm still true to my word ... |

Always refused and always stopped if I felt I was going too close to the opening guitar riff while noodling..
Well.. I was in a party with some co-workers from my previous job. And we had this thing of usually getting really drunk, like 12-year-old- downs-daddys-quarter-of-rum drunk. And sure enough; few days later I get a video to my email of me playing paranoid with an acoustic guitar and unfortunately singing too making the parts I don't remember up (about half of the lyrics seemed to be about the need for someone to order pizzas) while another person is banging on some kitchen ware. The slap guitar solo was pretty interesting though. |

| | | | Some Hole song which name I cannot remember.
It tends to happen to me a lot when I'm writing though, especially on guitar. I'll be thinking, "Hey, that sounds alright. Kinda familiar..."
Only once the song is finished does it dawn on me what it is, and I usually scrap the song. |

I never really bother to learn Black Sabbath songs, I love the band, I jus like to disappoint people when i tell them that I don't know Paranoid XD
And I always hated being taught Dance Dance by FoB... I didn't know what it was at the time >.<
I didn't necessarily refuse to learn SOTW, but I definitely can't stand it now.. |

Not necessarily the bass line, but the intro guitar riff. Weird. |

The bass riff is super easy though. The video makes it look like he's rockin out way too hard though.

The only thing would be the very slight sweep pick at the beginning that I could see throwing people off. I did it on accident and was like "wait...what was that?" Turns out, I had been to the movies that night and Welcome Home was played during a movie trailer. |

I'm playing the intro guitar riff on bass. It just happened that way. |

I worked really hard on learning the intro ... the day I managed it all the way through full speed was the day I thought "well, maybe I don't completely suck"
