Anyway. What are some songs you HATE or wouldnt listen to but are really fun to play ?? or sound good or nice ?? whatever.

Blame it on the boogie - jackson 5
so beautiful - pete murray
from the sea - eskimo joe
dreadlock holiday - 10CC
learn to fly - foo fighters
wonderwall - oasis
dancing queen - abba

"Yackety Axe" by Chet Atkins... ultimate hillbilly song, and too catchy for its own good. But its fun to play

[Julian]

Dani California - RHCP's

[Johnny_Wah]

Wankadankafest - Dream Wanker Theatre
Welcome to the black parade - My Chemical Romance (actually I don't really hate it, but it's fun anyway)

[thelivingvines]

ain't talkin' 'bout love- Van Halen
Aerodynamic- daft punk

[lachlandavis]

I just hate it when people ask me to play all those over played songs like Teen Spirit, Enter Sand Man and dammit.... Sure they are sometimes fun to bust out.... but of im so sick of them all!

welcome to the black parade is fun to play even though i dont know all of it, how tricky is all that palm muting in the second bits of the two verses after the real guitars kick in? (pretty rhetorical) do you play it all with downstrokes as i have been doing? and if not is it easier not to?

you'll understand when your 17 or so and get out there. lol

Thelivingvines, haha Yes! aint talkin' bout love is pretty fun! It just sounds cool as with heaps of dirt/dist.

[thelivingvines]

course it does and a teeny tiny bit of phase to give it that van halen feel. call me giles btw/ gilo/jools/joolsie/whatever else people seem to derive from it.

My Sharona (The Knack)... I feel the need to play it everytime I pick up a guitar.

It's a weird one though, I love it to death when I am playing it, but when I hear it on the radio or whatever it annoys the piss out of me. Probably 'cause of the lyrics... I hate the lyrics.

[Julian]

My Sharona is absoloute pop genius. Seriously, it is one hell of a song

Yeah I do all downstrokes unless I'm feeling lazy. And yeah, it's easier but sounds like shit going up/down up/down. I'm just having trouble with that fast bit before the second "guitar solo" with the harmonies.

hmm...... if you'd asked me this a few years back, my answer would have been that stupid fookin smells like teen spirit.... grrr i hate that song!!!!!

[wizard_23]

Haha.. We used to flog that in the music room at school. And pretty much anything by Grinspoon.

I'm a pretty haggard player and my theory knowledge is shitful so I've been messing around on a few scales lately, and when I was playing one I realised that I was playing some xmas song. The one that goes along the lines of "no-el, no-el, born is the king... born is the king of iz-z-rae-el". The words there are DEFINATELY wrong but you get the picture.

A song that I don't really like but love playing is "Advance Australia Fair"... It leads into the intro for Roll On so well. ;)

[Ben reed]

ooo another is duality by slipknot
i used to like that song but now i just like to play it

[TheColonel]

ahhhh, i'm surprised noone mentioned this: Chop Suey, SOAD......

[wizard_23]

True... Arctic Monkeys - Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor, Rasmus - In The Shadows...

Also.. I actually do like the song (i know i'll cop flack for that!)... But one that might fit in to this is Lily Allen's song "It's Not Fair"... I was fiddling around with that and it's a big hit when you pull out the guitar at a party or something.

[FlyingV]

Suprised It hasn't been said...

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

[TheColonel]

Reel Big Fish - Take On Me. Wickedbad.

[Mitch-PTV]

no stairway? denied!

[Joab]

haha i forgot this was "hate the song, love to play" :) i love it!

[Fritz]

I hate to listen to sweet child o mine but like playing it. probably cos after years of cover bands I've managed to play the solo note for note behind my head!

Rock n roll by led zep. Hate the song from the out of time guitar to drum ratio band but its damn fun to play

Fireburning - sean kingston, pokerface - lady gagaga are come modern covers that are fun to play

[Strider]

ahhh, too many to mention. That new Linkin Park song, friggen hate it, but sounds good live. Rocking in the USa. Sweet Child O Mine...
Songs like "kissed a girl"- katy perry, "leave me alone (I'm lonely)-pink, I'll Make You Happy - Divinyls. Hate the songs but they all sounded really awesome with our old chick singer.

Actually just learning it for the first time. Feeling very deficient at reading tab - such a bitch. Any words of advice micky?

[Ben reed]

i like playing whole lotta love my led zeppelin but i never actually listen to it

[FlyingV]

I find improvising the sweet child of mine solo the best tactic lol

[Mitch-PTV]

i like playing whole lotta love my led zeppelin but i never actually listen to it

same here, i would listen to it more if they didnt include the 2 min weird ass bridge in the song. its just too annoying to put up with.

[Ben reed]

yeah, kinda cool to hear once but otherwise i'm not a fan
