[marinecorpsman6]

[rtslinger]

Eric Johnson Cliffs of Dover adding it to the set list to give our singer a break during the show

 

[eriky4003]

For my own enjoyment: Steely Dan's Josie.

 

[MazingerZ]

Woodshedding the following as of the moment: Santeria, Soul to squeeze and Boogie Wonderland

 

[El Spearo]

I'm working on Pedro Navaja and El Padre Antonio by Ruben Blades at the moment. I almost got the chords right, but all the variations are driving me insane!

 

[Rio Chavez]

Ruben Blades: Plástico and Siembra. Also, Beatles: Get Back and You Never Give Me Your Money.

 

[El Spearo]

Plastico is on my list! that'll probably be the next after i'm done with the ones i'm working on now

 

[Rio Chavez]

That disco/funk beginning on Plástico is sweet, ain't it?

 

[El Spearo]

Yeah, that's the only part I know so far!

No particular song, but I've been polishing Duran Duran's "Rio" and Rush's "Tom Sawyer" lately.

And @ Judeix808...2 Dream Theater songs in your "To learn" list...that might take some effort. I haven't tried "In the presence of enemies" yet, but Metropolis took me a very long while to learn. Not technically difficult, but blazingly fast scales (e.g. starting on the 40th bar) and tapping (during the instrumental mid-section/solo). I practiced it for months, and today I still can't play it anywhere close to full speed.

Yeah, Metropolis pt 1 and 2 are definitely on my "to learn" list. Looking forward to the challenge.
