Guitar???

That is one sweet looking guitar. I priced one at the local music store and about fainted.



That's exactly what I have been doing. I learn the first part of the song but give up on the rest. I was thinking the other day and said to myself " I really need to learn the whole song and not the just main riff". So I went back to the song that I have been doing really well with and that is Hells Bells. All this I learned using tabs on UlimateGuitar.com. So you are right about just stopping and not knowing the entire song. The problem I have is how to mix the lead (Angus) with the rhythm (Malcom) and have it sound good. I have to do both I guess.

That's always going to be a problem when you are a single person trying to recreate what 4 people have created. Sometimes it helps me to play a song in a slightly different style than it was written, kinda makes it your own and when people hear it they recognize the song but don't expect a perfect recreation of it. Check out Hayseed Dixie for instance, they do all AC/DC songs in a bluegrass style, and you know with bluegrass comes a little blues. You would dig their Hells Bells rendition!!! Some songs or styles are hard to emulate by just one person, but if you were to join a group you would find that your chops would develop faster because you can concentrate on your position in the band and follow your mates as they do the same. I personally play a lot of bluegrass music because of the amount of solo material it offers, but also because a lot of popular music can be played in the bluegrass style. Good luck to you on all your projects, both music and Mopars!!! Geof
