      If you think the second song is hard backtrack a bit and learn basic picking techniques. First position chords just with a specific picking pattern. Not “hard” just different way of making your brain think. Practice it constantly knowing you’re going to suck at it at first. After time it’ll come together and you’ll play it just as well as the original.

    I can't explain how happy I was in my heart to see a Muse song on this list - though at my current skill level I think Plug In Baby is pretty demanding to call "essential" lmao. I'll probably try to learn Pressure or something first; it sounds like an easier one to start crossing over into electric guitar with.

    • @theabsolute23
      @theabsolute23 14 днів тому +5

      The funny thing about guitar is that proficiency in it is not uniform and consistent across all techniques. I can play death metal riffs at blistering high tempos, throw in perfect pinch harmonics, I can do all those twisty complex Alan Holdsworth style jazz chords. Ask me to play a basic rock solo or do a fast fluid scale runthough, and I’m garbage at it. I don’t practice leads very much just a lot of chords, tremolo etc.

      Stairway is a forbidden riff…… there’s a few reasons you will NEVER hear it being played in a guitar center.
      1)it was overplayed due to popularity
      2)it’s over rated when compared to Zep catalogue.
      3)Zepplin, and only Zepplin, did that song justice… it is to them what Hotel California is to the Eagles.

    Too much glam in my opinion. However good job on putting actual Guitar Rig tabs.
    If you talking grunge Alice In Chains "Man in the Box", Stone Temple Pilots "Plush", Pearl Jam "Even Flow" and Soungarden "Black Rain" are pretty much essentials too and they are not stolen like "Come As You Are" (google up the song "Eighties"). And post-grunge exist and there som much more bands with essential riffs, despite I dislike Nickelback, for public listener that would be way more recognisable.
    Could have bring more classic heavy metal, there are a lot of songs that are heavy and easy to play. Let alone "You've got Another Thing Coming" by Judas Priest.
    And "Bang Your Head" by Quiet Riot is essential glam hit.
