What is your fav Odyssey song to play?

[the_satanic_rabbit]

Not just guitar, but anything...

For guitar I would choose Inferno, because the song just rips and its full of riffs that are fun to play, especially the opening. That in itself is such an outstanding picking excercise, because it is fast but not blazing. So it forces you to be REALLY percise. The solo also tests your Romeoesque string-skip tapping chops.

For Drums: Probably King of Terrors. It's just hard driving and its fun to play. (well, I would imagine so anyway, I haven't touched a kit in a couple years)

Vox? Dunno, I don't have half the range that Russel does so I give up.

Keys? Don't really play keys except for some midi sequencing stuff.

Bass? Probably Awakenings since the song features the Bass.

 

[Divine Wings Of Tragedy]

i would agree about inferno

 

[Vaibanez]

Only song I can really play so far is Inferno, so I would have to go with that one..

 

[The Yngster]

I can crappily (is that a word?) play the intro to Inferno, so I'll go with that one too.

 

[BornOfFire]

Inferno's the only one I've tried to learn.

Agreed, or the chorus of Inferno.

Can I have a link to a tab for Inferno plz, or did you guys figure it out on your own?

For me I guess it would be Inferno because I havn't tried learning anything else so far. That song just screams metal!

 

[Greenwater_Pond]

ok that doesn't help me at all because I need a powertab program for mac :Shedevil: . Anyone know of one that's out for mac yet?

 

[The Yngster]

In that case try www.tabrobot.com

 

[†Russel Allen†®]

Both Inferno and King of Terrors are my preferred to play (guitar, of course) AND sing...! I just kill my vocal chords when I sing those... Jeeze!! :zombie:

 

[joebobodo]

my favorite songs to sing are Awakenings, The Odyssey, and King of Terrors, but the only one my band is covering is Inferno which, for me, is the hardest one to sing, but it should be fun to perform nonetheless. !

 

[Surreality]

well, I am only good enough to play Wicked. the intro to inferno does sound cool though. Do any of you know where I could get some tablature for SX songs?

 

[The Yngster]

Look at the sites I already posted.

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

I haven't had time to play any Odyssey songs yet.
I've been busy with school, jazz/theory studies, chop building and my one "shred" stuff to relax and enjoy.
But I'll be working on Sea of Lies tonight.

 

[the_satanic_rabbit]

Sea of Lies is an excellent song to play for chops. The tapping section is a mother... It's still hard to play it cleanly but the guitar I have here has crappy pickups. Once I get home, I'll see how well I can pull it off on my new M-1000

Other great excersises...

Damnation game intro: String skipping and Arpeggiation mania. Again, it is fast but not too fast, so you really have to be in control, especially on the arpeggios.

Dressed to Kill (bach section) : string skipping, alternate picking mania...once again, you need to be in full control. The little fast run at the end is much easier to reproduce than the rest of it, because of the tempo that it is at.

Out of the Ashes intro: What a mother...
I can't play it, can you?

 

[Reverse Sigma]

I love to play The King Of Terrors, it's darn kewl ,oh I play the Keyboard, and it's easy to play this song!!!

 

[Divine Wings Of Tragedy]

I think the easiest songs of syx are of sins & sea of lies, these are the only 2 i can play almost completly hehe, btw the middle solo in sea of lies is the easiest one IMO.

i try to play inferno with my band, but my drummer still has alot to learn
