Just watched the Beastie Boys documentary brilliant stuff.

 

"I'd rather be a hypocrite than the same person forever"

 

Decided to finally start having a practise at this tonight...

Will probably have a search through youtube, just to have a look at other people's take on it.

 

I'd probably add these two guys to the collection as well, with a more simplistic approach starting at 4.30

Then this guy from 1.10...

 

Final piece really to complete the earlier videos, the backing track for the solo, with tab to help sync the timing.

I've come to the conclusion, David Gilmour must have fingers of steel!

 

I found playing the guitar very difficult big up to anyone who gets through the initial part of learning to play.

 

You are right, it is very difficult to start with, not even just the playing, but the expectation of what you expect to hear from your favourite songs is not quite so simple as you'd want to hear in reality.

I started with an acoustic, which is hard for beginniners, but once you've got the hang of that, moving to electric becomes easy and is much easier on the fingers, not having to hold down those steel strings anymore and so much more versatile and forgiving.

Then I moved to semi-acoustic (electric) and the sound is just awesome, but you don't have the same versatility for learning, as you did with the electric that you've been banging notes out on for years. I'd say anyone getting a semi-acoustic best know how to play first.

If anyone said how do you learn, it's quite simply, practise, practise, practise and more practise and remember a song is your interpretation of it, if you are trying to copy it identical then you are going to end up feeling defeated - Youtube is a great tool and example of that, no two instructers will ever tell you the exact same thing. Which is handy when you can't get on with one particular style.

 

When I was a young teen in the small village I lived in there was an obsession with rock music, it was something passed down from the adults to the kids and we all embraced it other than rebelling against the oldies. Yes we also listened to the band's of the day but looking back now it's interesting and very much down to it being a small dead end village. In the early 80's everyone I knew loved The Who, The Free, The Eagles, Journey, Rolling Stones and various other 70's bands. As we all got that age of around 13, 14 everyone played something I've never seen anything like it and then of course one band started and the members seemed to change daily as there were that many people playing instruments. From that Stereophonics eventually made it, first song I ever saw Kelly play was Wishing Well by Free, he was 13 and already writing his own stuff.

 

3 great bands there Luv.
