Iron Lung: link
Don't Fear the Reaper link, sans cowbell

What program did you use to create those?
I used Fruity Loops to create the drum track and then imported it into Cakewalk Sonar, where I recorded the guitar.

One of the easiest metal tunes to learn is Ace of Spades by Motorhead. It took me 20 minutes to learn the whole tune.:)

Dream Theater - In The Name of God, around 9:50 to 10:15. The best single moment in music ever!

The rhythm's also a bit off since I'm still getting used to this guitar.

Damn! You're not too shabby! You make power chords look so easy (which they are, to everyone except me, it seems :)) Nice timing wth the solo; very precise and clean.

Uh, here's a really, really horrible video of me playing along with the music.

I haven't picked up my guitar in 8 months, so don't laugh too hard.. :p

I can't believe I forgot the power chords in the middle fast part, lol.

Your rhythm is solid, dude. That's probably the most important but undervalued aspects of a guitar player.

Now if you could just remember the songs you play the whole way through. ;)

LOL...

yeah, that was pretty bad. :p But I actually impressed myself, not having played a single lick in almost a year. I only have 4 years of experience total...

I need to start picking it up again.

LOL .. your guitar's not plugged in, is it ?

I didn't notice till the "lip synching" in the last 25 seconds where
you're totally off but the guitar track is the same volume

What do you mean? Of course my guitar is plugged in.. lol

It's hard to hear it sometimes, because as you said, the volumes are similar.

Just listen at the beginning when I come in. Notice the difference in the sound.

I also stop and re-start and screw up a few times, and you can hear it there, too. I should have used headphones.

I think I know which part you're talking about, though. I screwed up, but the video makes it look funny.. My A60 only captures at 15FPS, that's why some of the faster parts look a little strange.

How about a random Metallica solo? Maybe Enter Sandman or Fuel.

If someone wants to host, I'll put up a clip of me trying to play the solo in Creeping Death by ear. :D
