I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.

I swear this is the first riff every new guitar player learns (I learned it and I had never even heard the song until that moment)

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not every. My first riff was "Them Bones", Alice in Chains.

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

I think mine was "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Might have been "Paranoid."

Guitarists: wojak-nooo THAT'S NOT EVEN HOW YOU PLAY THE SONG! IT'S PERFECT 4TH DYADS WITH AN IMPLIED E-G-A ROOT, SO IT'S 2-5-7 BARRED ACROSS THE 4TH AND 5TH STRINGS! 0-3-5 IS A LIIIIIIIIIIIE!

When I played bass that actually wasn't my first song to learn. It was My Name Is Mud by Primus. But that was probably because I fucking love slapbass.

My friend started fucking around on a bass guitar, and the first thing he learned was the Seinfeld riff.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

That's sort of how it happened for me. I had an idea of how to do the My Name Is Mud riff but it was at downtime during a jam session for the band I was playing guitar in and I was like hey lemme see if I can do slapbass.

The first bassline I learned was a Weezer song...

[–] roux@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

I think my first full song was probably Big Truck by Coal Chamber or something.

Deep Purple has some actually good songs too. It makes that song's popularity and the others' obscurity even more annoying.

It's not even their riff. It's from a jazz song by a band that John Lord briefly toured with before joining Deep Purple.

The lyrics were also written in about 10 minutes because they needed one last filler track for the Machine Head album.

I bet this guy doesn't even 035
