Last song you learned
 
What's the most recent song you learned how to play? It could be in any instrument.

My most recent ones were' I burn today' by Frank Black and ' I want you' by Bob Dylan. I want to learn 'don't let it start' by tmbg but I'm having a bit of trouble learning it cause I don't know to read music, I do it by ear. Both songs I learned were in the guitar btw.

I've been working on my own piano rendition of Long Season by Fishmans as of late. I've been learning a lot of stuff from Fishmans, Les Rallizes Dénudés, Duster and Pale Cocoon.

"I Burn Today" is an amazing song, and I adore that whole album.

I used this live version to learn it and it was pretty easy, it's a fairly simple song.



I have a couple of other Frank black songs I want to learn like 'western star' and 'chip away boy' but I'm glad another member here know his stuff. :thumb:

I figured out the Rick and Morty theme on guitar this weekend to the delight of my friends.

Zhanteimi 07-19-2016 08:47 PM

Big fan of Teenager of the Year, too.

Black Francis 07-19-2016 09:09 PM

From that one I know how to play abstract plain and whit noise maker. That album has a lot of great songs and i keep discovering good songs I overlooked from it like superabound.

That album particularly imo is what the new pixies should sound like, sadly that's not the case.

EB. 07-20-2016 02:35 PM

Last thing I learned was Oh Well, Oh Well by Mayday Parade on bass. :]

Aloysius 07-20-2016 05:08 PM

Dos Preludios by Joaquin Rodrigo. I had to do it as part of a recital for my masters last month. Back to working on my own music again now.

Don't tell me you and Innerspaceboy are the same people too?

i can only play like, a string on a guitar xd

Pencil 07-24-2016 05:55 PM

Most recent song is, "Road Warriors" from The Rippingtons Live, featuring Russ Freeman. As a jazz/funk drummer, this is a fun play. And being captured live with audience response makes it just that much more fun when playing to it.

crimsonite 09-01-2016 03:45 AM

Abba - Voulez Vouz on the guitar

Nickfar 09-03-2016 07:23 AM

Last song i learned is pink floyd 's learning to fly

Black Francis 09-03-2016 08:17 AM

A couple of days ago I learned 'Run around' by Blues traveler. I only learned it cause the chorus is fun to sing.

Mister Mushroom 09-09-2016 10:55 PM

About 10-15 minutes ago I learned the intro to Silver Rocket by Sonic Youth.

Didn't get the entire song yet, but I'll get there.

ribbons 09-24-2016 03:22 PM

Neil Young's "Here We Are In The Years". Going on vacation this week, staying in a farmhouse and taking along the mahogany parlor guitar - which really has the right sound for this.

Lysman 12-17-2016 06:08 AM

The Rains of Castamere in Game of thrones. What a tune

Lorenzo L. 12-31-2016 06:04 PM

Airmail Special! Charlie Christian's nice jazz tune :)

_Regatta 03-02-2017 02:03 PM

Under The Bridge - RCHP

RiPS 10-06-2017 06:27 AM

Cancer - My Chemical Romance

Manson 10-06-2017 06:38 AM

Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger
no clue why I pushed back learning it.

TCBP 11-14-2017 07:57 AM

Comfortable - John Mayer

A nice mellow tune

Lesbian With A Gun 02-04-2018 06:49 PM

Help! by The Beatles...

But then that's the third song this week...
First was I'm A Man of Constant Sorrow, old country song... And then it was that & Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones... And after as I'm getting happy with I'm A Man Of Constant Sorrow remembering all the words to Sympathy For The Devil real quick and what order the verses go in and so fourth, I start learning Help!
(I'm sort of learning all 3 at the same time)...
It's all good except one is D,A,D,G,A,D tuning and has a capo on the third fret.
All on the same guitar I got last week, I got 3 guitars too last week, but for some reason, I've been learning them on my 1951 Stella by Harmony H929 parlor guitar I got online/Reverb.com from a guitar store in NYC, NY/Rivington Guitars and I had imported into the country/paid import duty and VAT etc to get it out of customs. - Guess I like it. It's not the nicest guitar that I've got/it's not even the nicest guitar that I got that week/it's not even the nicest guitar that I got that week that's of its age and guitar type (I got a nicer early 1950's Catania Carmelo parlour guitar from a guitar shop in London as I was waiting for it to arrive from NYC/it's not the only Stella by Harmony I got that week (I also got a rare 1969 Stella by Harmony H913 12 String with a pro set up that sounds amazing from a store in Nashville TN)/it's not the only guitar I ever imported - It was the first though (arrived and cleared customs first thanks to FedEx and also, I bought it hours before the 2nd one from America) (that H913 from TN)... but it is the guitar I got last week that I'm playing on the most/learning new songs on and stuff - even if it's not the nicest. I'm having fun with it/I like it.

This guitar looks cool strapped to you and... Sounds awesome... The action is high and it's a cheap 65 yr old guitar that's factory stock but I still find myself playing it, for some reason, almost like it has a hold on me..

SmokeAndMirrors 02-14-2018 07:21 PM

Dissection - Thorns Of Crimson Death.

uncle salty 02-15-2018 12:07 PM

I finally got through Maiden's Fear Of The Dark flawlessly. (Adrian Smith's part).



Of course, it's on air guitar driving to work, but I'm telling you, I nailed it.

Treefire21 02-16-2018 11:53 AM

Lots of the music I play is more classical stuff. I play a bunch of Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven. I do learn some newer stuff, but to me it's not as fun. I play the piano, mellophone, trumpet, and French Horn.

Properte 02-25-2018 03:30 AM

Just starting learnig guitar. Have almost learned Bad moon rising by CCR, but that is one of the easiest there is tho.

Akai 03-30-2018 07:07 PM

Been learning some stuff from watching Samus' playthrough's recently;


crukster 04-03-2018 05:22 AM

Haydar, haydar - Ali Ekber Çiçek. My Dad's favourite.

Like the lyrics? If so, I've never considered learning the words to hip hop "learning the songs" until now, at least not in a traditional sense, but it is sorta the same thing isn't it? About equal to learning only the guitar part of a rock song.

Frownland 02-06-2019 09:36 AM

Delivery too, not just the words. It takes some serious practice to rap as ****tily as Kanye does.

Relearned Washer by Slint on the guitar this morning. It's a fun one.

Captain Beefheart 06-25-2019 07:54 AM
