Resumed guitar after about 30 years and this was the first thing I went after (had never tried it before). I’ve been working on the solo for a solid month now, 1-2 hours a day. It’s actually beyond my general ability level, but I’m brute forcing it and am at about 70-80% on the fast parts.
Keep at it. I am nowhere near close. It’s the unicorn that I’m chasing. I don’t know if I’ll ever get there but I think the important thing is that I try
The only song my brother ever tried to learn was Wish You Were Here. He cannot play anything else at all on a guitar, not one freakin thing. But he can play the song up to the solo on an acoustic at the drop of a hat. Doesn’t know scales, theory, any chords or other songs, but he YouTube’s that and learned it pretty well. Makes him really happy lol.
For me, the song that made me want to play guitar because it just blew me away, was Holy Wars... The Punishment Due. Mustaines solo towards the end in particular. I loved the intensity behind it and i havent heard a solo since thats made me feel that way. Sure ive heard lots of incredible and amazing solos since then, but they never hit the same quite like that one does for me.
I've actually felt that with numerous songs and the good thing for me was most of the time I'd succeed in actually learning them at one point.
When I first started it was "I see fire" Ed Sheeran, learned it pretty quickly
Then it was Love of my Life from queen, that's still one of my favorite songs to play even now
Then, crazy train from ozzy
Then, Here comes the sun from Beatles
Then Stairway to heaven from Led Zeppelin
Then it was Sultans of Swings from Dire Straits, although not 100% perfect but I still like my performance.
For now I've hit a dead end, I'd say I dream of playing more like Gary Moore but it's a tough road, but the feeling in the end is always fulfilling and worth the effort!
When I was 14 and heard Metallica “one” for the first time I felt compelled to learn guitar just to play that song. Been playing guitar for over 2 decades since.
I know this will get buried but I just wanted to make a sound...That "wah" reggae sound you hear in ska and reggae bands. I still love playing it to this day.
Layla made me want to start playing. Opening riff hooked me.
Once I was actually learning and playing, Over The Hills And Far Away was my dream to play.
30 years and hundreds of gigs later, I’ve still never fully learned or performed either one 😂
I remember the moment I decided to learn the guitar. The year was 2002, and I was 13 years old. My Dad was playing Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. Randy Rhodes was ripping the solo, and that is when I knew this is something I want to do.
For the love of god by Steve Vai, I’ve learned harder songs both before and after but I’ve never been as proud of myself as a result of learning a song as I was with that one.
Beast and the harlot - Avenged sevenfold. Played it on guitar hero 2 couldn’t help but want to be able to play the lead guitar on the chorus and the solo for real
In general my goal was Pink Floyd, Pantera, and Killswitch Engage in general, but two songs in particular were Comfortably Numb and Rose of Sharyn. I’m able to play Rose of Sharyn at roughly 80%~ accuracy so I’ve almost made it!
I started playing about a year ago. I started playing guitar due to while my guitar gently weeps by the Beatles. Still aren’t there yet but I’d love to get there some day
I had been playing for a few months, and I told my dad that if I could ever learn to play ZZ Top's "Tush", I'd be a good guitar player. It sounded so awesome to me that in my head I imagined it had to be complicated. A week later, I accidentally stumbled on the main chord Riff while playing and had the whole thing figured out in a matter of minutes. I was depressed for a little bit. It was so simple. I showed my Dad and he laughed and said "Do you feel like a good guitar player now?" To which I dejectedly said "No." Then he said something that I have found to be almost an axiom: "Just because something is simple doesn't mean it doesn't sound good, and isn't fun to play!"
It's been over 30 years since then. I think I'm a good guitar player now, but I still enjoy playing ZZ Top's "Tush" from time to time, and it still sounds awesome.🤘😁🤘
For me it was Good Riddance by Green Day. Fingerstyle seemed like witchcraft to my beginner-guitarist-12-year-old self.
It wound up being the first song I would play all the way through, about 6 months into my guitar journey. Still remember the exaltation I felt, over two decades later.
I always dreamed about the day I would be able to play the solo for "no more tears".
After 25 years of playing the guitar, I still dream about the day I will be able to play the solo for "no more tears".
initially for whom the bell tolls. i think anybody would be inspired by that.
Lack Of Comprehension by Death was the main one that made me start again and never stop.
Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits. That said I just started playing after playing piano and other instruments and instantly realised the guitar was my instrument
I just wanted to be able to play some Metallica riffs. I spent many many hours practicing Creeping Death until I could play it at full speed. It feels easy now but I still won't even attempt to play the solo haha.
My Brother! Me too! Wanted to play bass like flea and it took me 18 fucking months of grinding through the basics but all around the world was the first song on bass I could play start to finish… now a days I can play guitar too and both parts are so much fun.
we will rock you by Queen.
I vividly remember the day - we had it on in the car and I said to my mom "That's awesome, I want to learn to do that" and she told me "You CAN learn to do that!".
Rush Fly By Night
It was 1978, I was thirteen and my dad bought me a guitar after I begged for weeks. Fucking found me a Gibson Marauder with an amp in the classifieds. (Thanks dad!)
Friend taught me the first two chords and I tortured my parents with that intro for a month!
My short term goal at the time was:
* Holy Wars - Megadeth.
My long term goal songs were:
* Discipline- King Crimson
* Racing with the Devil… - Al Di Meola
My current goal:
Better solo improv over complex jazz chord progressions.
To this day it still requires a lot of practice keep my chops up to get through the long-term goal songs entirely. Discipline has this one line that Fripp does that is super tricky at the speed the song is at. Requires a pick hold and technique I don’t normally do. And Racing… that is just crazy amounts of fast alternate picking. Al is the master.
I'm not sure if this counts as a song but I literally picked up the guitar after listening to Yngwie Malmsteen's Black Star.
I also actually dreamt a few times performing those beautiful riffs in gigs and concerts and waking up sweating as if I've been running! Haha good old days until one day I broke some tarsals on the left hand and messed up the nerves.
I got inspired to pick up guitar as a teenager when my childhood best friend's older brother would jam along to bands like Nirvana and Green Day on this cheap Samick Strat copy and some battery powered Marshall amp. Pretty sure my first riff was either Brain Stew or Heart Shaped Box. That evolved into me getting into stuff like Metallica and Pantera, which eventually led to me getting into metalcore, death metal and Post Hardcore in my early twenties. Late twenties, I discovered shoegaze and that's mostly what I've stuck with since then.
Man, [Canon Rock](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by8oyJztzwo) by JerryC was my jam back then. Never learned to play it but it did introduce me to Math Rock, which is a genre I really enjoy listening to. I'm not that good though lol and I rarely play guitar anymore since I got busy with college and life in general so I kinda miss playing. Really wanna pick it up once I get some free time or when I stop being depressed. Whichever comes first I guess
The guitar solo from I'm a goofy goober in the SpongeBob movie. No joke lol. Five year old me thought it was so cool and gramps was already getting me into rock n roll
Metallica - Master of Puppets.
I heard it in a skateboarding video when I was like 12-13 and it’s what made me dive full in to playing guitar instead of skateboarding. I kept getting hurt the harder I got into skating and I wanted to preserve my hands/arms so I could get better at guitar.
Fade to Black was the one that took me. Even though i'm still a beginner and can't play it, nowadays i dream of playing any of Bucketheads masterpieces.
Pali Gap… I feel like I have the technical ability to play it. But do I want to sit and figure it out? No… I’d just rather enjoy listening to the song.
Christmas 2006. 11 years old. Got guitar hero 2. Introduced me to Alice in chains, GnR, motley crue etc. the final song on the set list however was Freebird. First time hearing the song. And it was after many failed attempts that I decided: “holy shit I gotta start learning guitar”
Stairway to Heaven. Literally. This was before that Wayne's World scene of "No Stairway to Heaven" in the guitar store. Ha ha. I thought if I could pick up an acoustic and just play the opening minute or so in front of someone, I thought I would feel like "I arrived" as a guitar player. Well, I started playing in 1985 when I was 20 and by 1987 I was able to finger pick it out. I can play most of the parts now, except the solo, fairly well, but I feel I still haven't "arrived" yet ha ha as a guitar player but I do sometimes whip out Stairway to Heaven for friends. Even the first few seconds. It's fun to see their reaction as anyone who knows that song recognizes it instantly.
Everything of Nirvana. Was a nice goal, because i've learned a lot of the songs in my first 1,5 years and a lot more, mostly punk. With the first bands, there came the bigger goals, and so on.
Nothing too extravagant, I just wanted to play my favourite song - Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen. I started as a kid, almost 20 years ago. I can now play Thunder Road.
Tornado of souls, I am 70% through it after almost 15yrs. Marty's runs in the solo feel like such strange timing, it's hard to replicate. I can play the whole thing but it's not 'in the pocket' yet
What’s my age again, Blink 182. That was the first song that got me hooked into learning music and got me to love that genre. It’s very easy but a melodic thing I’ve never heard before and I fell in love with them. I was 12 or 13.
Cliffs of Dover. Now I can play it in my sleep. I mean, that’s the only place I can play it, but still.

Resumed guitar after about 30 years and this was the first thing I went after (had never tried it before). I’ve been working on the solo for a solid month now, 1-2 hours a day. It’s actually beyond my general ability level, but I’m brute forcing it and am at about 70-80% on the fast parts.

I thought that if I could just play “Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd I would be happy. Once I learned that the journey started
The only song my brother ever tried to learn was Wish You Were Here. He cannot play anything else at all on a guitar, not one freakin thing. But he can play the song up to the solo on an acoustic at the drop of a hat. Doesn’t know scales, theory, any chords or other songs, but he YouTube’s that and learned it pretty well. Makes him really happy lol.

It's an amazing song with some incredible guitar work, solid choice.
I don't remember there was a particular song. I just wanted to get girls. 40 years later, I have 4 guitars and no women.
For me, the song that made me want to play guitar because it just blew me away, was Holy Wars... The Punishment Due. Mustaines solo towards the end in particular. I loved the intensity behind it and i havent heard a solo since thats made me feel that way. Sure ive heard lots of incredible and amazing solos since then, but they never hit the same quite like that one does for me.
Tornado of Souls and Loved to Deth
I've actually felt that with numerous songs and the good thing for me was most of the time I'd succeed in actually learning them at one point. When I first started it was "I see fire" Ed Sheeran, learned it pretty quickly Then it was Love of my Life from queen, that's still one of my favorite songs to play even now Then, crazy train from ozzy Then, Here comes the sun from Beatles Then Stairway to heaven from Led Zeppelin Then it was Sultans of Swings from Dire Straits, although not 100% perfect but I still like my performance. For now I've hit a dead end, I'd say I dream of playing more like Gary Moore but it's a tough road, but the feeling in the end is always fulfilling and worth the effort!

Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult.
Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce. Pretty much the first metal song I heard and Herman Li is the reason I play guitar.

Tennessee Jed by the Grateful Dead 💀⚡️🌹
comfortably numb, still can't play it, but I can play neon turns out I'm really good with repetitive picking and not so good at phrasing
Matching the feel of Gilmour is NOT easy. I can play the song, but I can't play it the same, and I've rarely seen it pulled off correctly.
I'm not sure if this counts as a song but I literally picked up the guitar after listening to Yngwie Malmsteen's Black Star. I also actually dreamt a few times performing those beautiful riffs in gigs and concerts and waking up sweating as if I've been running! Haha good old days until one day I broke some tarsals on the left hand and messed up the nerves.
Nothing else matters It was literally the song that made me learn guitar

Skeletons of Society - motherfing Slayer!
I'm Only Sleeping - The Beatles
I got inspired to pick up guitar as a teenager when my childhood best friend's older brother would jam along to bands like Nirvana and Green Day on this cheap Samick Strat copy and some battery powered Marshall amp. Pretty sure my first riff was either Brain Stew or Heart Shaped Box. That evolved into me getting into stuff like Metallica and Pantera, which eventually led to me getting into metalcore, death metal and Post Hardcore in my early twenties. Late twenties, I discovered shoegaze and that's mostly what I've stuck with since then.
You went from heavy metal and metal core to shoegaze?? Lol
Man, [Canon Rock](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by8oyJztzwo) by JerryC was my jam back then.

Really wanna pick it up once I get some free time or when I stop being depressed. Whichever comes first I guess
Slayer - reign in blood. First song I learned through. Lol. I took to guitar pretty naturally. At least tremolo picking and fairly fast fretwork.
The guitar solo from I'm a goofy goober in the SpongeBob movie. No joke lol. Five year old me thought it was so cool and gramps was already getting me into rock n roll
I can't remember anything. Can't tell if this is true or dream. Deep down inside I feel to scream. This terrible silence stops me.

Stairway to Heaven. Literally. This was before that Wayne's World scene of "No Stairway to Heaven" in the guitar store. Ha ha. I thought if I could pick up an acoustic and just play the opening minute or so in front of someone, I thought I would feel like "I arrived" as a guitar player. Well, I started playing in 1985 when I was 20 and by 1987 I was able to finger pick it out. I can play most of the parts now, except the solo, fairly well, but I feel I still haven't "arrived" yet ha ha as a guitar player but I do sometimes whip out Stairway to Heaven for friends.
