That song is a brutal rythmic workout. Ben Eller on YouTube does a great breakdown on some of the finer nuances in the song as the official tabs are crap & can be hard to pick out by ear with the speed of the track

Re: What are you learning?
Oh man is it what. Hetfield is (was?) a beast. I had to turn to Ben Eller's vid to figure out what was going on underneath the solo. Good fun though.Mr Davison wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 1:20 pmThat song is a brutal rythmic workout.

Got a 'pickin' to attend in a couple of weeks so I'm learning some bluegrass standards. Fuck me, fiddle lines are hard! They don't look hard but after spending 20 years on what I guess have been more blues based scales, this stuff is really making me work for it.

Bluegrass and Celtic; two flavours of acoustic guitar shredding. Awesome stuff! If I'd been born in Kentucky or Cork, I'd play nothing else.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: What are you learning?
It seems here in the south that hardly anyone plays guitar. But of those that do, all seem to absolutely shred on the bluegrass. There's great living history here of people who have decended from the Scots and Irish (hence the moonshine culture) and the music is really strong. It's becoming a great learning experience.Slowy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 01, 2021 8:37 amLucky that vid starts out at quarter speed.kdawg2a wrote: ↑Thu Jul 01, 2021 7:55 am https://youtu.be/LLvAVuWaeMk

Yeah, pointy stick shredders think they can play...

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Carry On My Wayward Son
I was working of a tab that sounded OK, but since found this isolated track, and noticed much wrongness in the tab. I don't know why I bother with tabs on the net.
