Hi dudes,
I was watching the on-stage video of thomas haake (meshuggah's drummer) playing Bleed, thinking this would be my goal if ever I have a drumkit at home one day (and BTW, his snare sounds so good on this vid). Then I was thinking "it's like the master of puppets of extreme metal drummers" (even if the difficulty is not the same).
And then I realized I was not playing guitar anymore because I have no particular song or set of song I would like to play and that is really harder than what I can achieve with some intense but effective work. When I started guitar playing, there were some SOAD songs, then some metallica, in flames or COB songs I digged and were sort of what I was aiming in guitar playing. I still can't really play the hardest COB songs especially most solos but still it's not like it's too far from what I would achieve if I worked on it seriously. And so, it's not so much a challenge anymore and I don't try to play them.
So, my question is : do you have really cool songs in mind that are really difficult to play rythmically, and which possibly involve a cool and hard solo (but not necessarily something uber-shreddistic). It has to be cool, really cool songs cause I cannot just "work" on my guitar.
To sum it up, I need cool songs to have pleasure again just playing the guitar and not thinking about its production, and that are a challenge to play, which would led me taking this ESP SV standard or this Dean ML I have and that don't play that much anymore.
Also, this thread can be a list of songs you digged learning and that improved your playing, it may be helpful for other people, dunno.
