What would you choose? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

crow_daw · 05-15-2004, 06:05 PM

A friend of mine inspired this thread.

If somehow you were given the opportunity to learn to play one song, and ONLY one song, on the guitar, what would it be? You would know it instantaneously, and would be able to play it even better than the original artist.

However, it would be the only song you would ever know.

I realize most of you probably wouldn't take that deal, but I'm saying, given that you agreed, which song would you choose?

KWSN · 05-15-2004, 06:18 PM

Probably something by Django Reinhardt (sp?).... or maybe something by Opeth... like Black Rose Immortal...I mean if I can only have one song I'm gonna want a LOT of song, right?

thespian86 · 05-16-2004, 01:59 PM

Smells like teen spirit... hahahaha I'm just kidding guys!

Desperado by The Eagles

Boy who blocked his own shot by Brand New

I chose those because they are my favorite songs right now

Phaenx · 05-16-2004, 03:28 PM

Guitar - Flight of the bumble bee.

Take that.

redarrow · 05-16-2004, 06:05 PM

Were talking metallica-master of puppets (inc. solo)
or how bout iron maiden-back in the village/number of the beast (inc. solos)

great choice.

Destrox · 05-16-2004, 07:58 PM

A large number of Iron Maiden songs or Joe Satriani songs.

Both of them artists/groups are simply breathtaking when it comes to a hardcore solo on a guitar.

If i had to truely pick any one song out of these two, sadly I'd leave my Iron Maiden and pick "Surfing With the Alien" of Satriani or possibly "Summer Song".

Hell.. thats not fair.. maidens "Aces High", "Dont Look to the eyes of a stranger" solo at the 5 min 20 sec mark (sry I love this song

), or even "The Educated Fool" around the 3:30 mark, or....

Theres always the allmighty "Thunderstruck" by the one and only ACDC. Best damn blood flowing song ever made for mankind.

crow_daw · 05-16-2004, 08:18 PM

Desperado and Master of Puppets I would definitely have to agree with.

And that Flight of the Bumblebee idea was imaginitive. Nice thinking man.

maleficent · 05-16-2004, 08:58 PM

I'd love to give Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue a shot, just to see if it could be done...

Otherwise Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd

WarWagon · 05-16-2004, 09:33 PM

The opening to Crazy Train. You don't have to bother learning the rest of the song.

05-17-2004, 01:39 PM

probably something by Carlos Santana or Jewel. Too hard to pick one, I'd be happy with any.

bundy · 05-17-2004, 02:15 PM

Joaquin Rodrigo's Concerto de Aranjuez.

Destrox · 05-17-2004, 03:41 PM

How could i forget!!!!!

Van Halen - Eruption!

Tirian · 05-20-2004, 11:12 AM

What Bundy said- I was just typing it in and then scrolled up and noticed my choice was already taken. Nice choice Bundy.

Redlemon · 05-20-2004, 11:32 AM

"Existential Blues" by Tom "T Bone" Stankus. I think it is a very funny song, for just voice and acoustic guitar, and it would be a great song to be able to play at a party. It may not be technically difficult as a song, but hey, if I only get one song, I want it to be funny and have crowd impact.

Bobaphat · 05-20-2004, 01:22 PM

Classical gas maybe

FoolThemAll · 05-20-2004, 01:33 PM

Franz Liszt - "Transcendental Etude No. 10"

nash · 05-21-2004, 03:21 PM

Probably something flamenco!

mercury-hg · 05-21-2004, 05:30 PM

destrox is correct

H12 · 05-22-2004, 07:54 AM

Ace of Base - The Sign

...I'm so kidding. I'd learn the ever-beautiful tune of Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge.

streak_56 · 05-22-2004, 03:37 PM

Layla- Eric Clapton

that song always pumps me up
