What song should i learn next?

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

What symphony x song should i try and learn next? So far I've been having fun (and stress) in mastering the Of Sins and Shaddows. I just wanna learn some cool little solo and riff of a song to impress people with, not exactly a whole song. You know, like a friend comes over not realising i can play guitar and he's like "Oh, you play? Play something cool!" and I'm like doing the cminor 7 string skipped/tapped solo in Of Sins and Shaddows. He's all like "Cool, WOAH!! thats fast dude,..."
Yeah, a cool Symphony X song like that. I'm thinking mabey Inferno? I've allready figured out the main riff, the solo sounds like it could do some practise on tho, same with the into harmonic minor open string licks.? I don't know, mabey eventhe turning's insane solo?

What do you guys reckon?

Oh and PS: Good to see the musician forum's getting more active lately! Lets make it even more prominant!

Oh come on guys, help a white brother out here

play fallen hardy har

just cause i love that song so much

 

[shredmaster]

The Damnation Game dammit!

 

[Divine Wings Of Tragedy]

try the sea of lies middle part, many people attempt to play it.

ok how about the nice acoustic for the first verse of the odyssey? not fast eh?

ok how about the last solo of divine wings, try that

 

[MorphineChild205]

The Odyssey!

I'm in the process of learning the whole song on bass. I've already got most of DWOT down.

I've been playing guitar for 4 years and I still can't play a single SyX song straight through in full.

I recommend that you start at the bottom and work your way up. Be able to play everything by Metallica, Joe Satriani, Yngwie, and mot of Dream Theater's songs before attempting SyX.

cut Joe satriani and Yngwie out of there heh.
If you can shred like them, then you can shred almost as well as Romeo.

Dream Theater stuff is harder than Symphony X stuff for me...

Learn Smoke and Mirrors, that should impress your friends...

 

[yeet_SAY_jama]

play fallen

just cause i love that song so much

nevermind... play mascarade.

that tapping solo is so kickin rad.

Why do you asume that because i'm a younger teenager - that I'm a n00B beginner guitarist? I'm not a begginner at all, I practise like 2 hours a day. (not trying to sound like a dick, but I allready said I'm doing the Sins and Shaddows solo...)

 

[FLechdrop]

Inferno, Smoke And Mirrors or Masquerade

Have you tried Enter Sandman yet shred? That one's a dousey.

 

[ElPredicador]

If you want to impress people, do Smoke & Mirrors and the solo of The Relic. Those will do it.

What about Stairway to heaven? OUCH!!

Hey man, if you can't play the intro to Thunderstruck then you are not a good guitar player

 

[ElPredicador]

Or perhaps the solo from Michael Jackson's Beat It (that one is done by Eddie Van Halen). Basically any solo by Eddie will impress 99% of the people out there. Oh god I love those Show-Solos . Those tapping sequences will blow away anyone that doesn't know about guitar playing (99% of the people)

 

[Kate Bush Rules!]

I suggest you learn songs that you want to play. Not just a bunch of shred solos to impress people.

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

Oh shut up, i'm not listening to you!

I started learning the Sea of Lies solo (not just the tapping part, the whole lot) last night. And shit, it's hard! But I'm getting there.

I laughed so hard when my cousin said that Angus Young was the single fastest, most blistering player in the world. I thought it was a joke, but he was serious!
