man, so many good threads to bump it was hard to choose which one.
ANYWAY here's my sitch. I'm kinda hitting a point where i'm getting a little frustrated. The songs I've been practicing the most i haven't been making much progress and its discouraging. A couple of examples, the (second, longer) solo from My Sharona. The solo at the end of Black Dog.
my instructor gave me some good advice he says to me he says "i know you're frustrated but its important to remember that you actually do know how to play the guitar, you should just bring in a couple songs that are a little easier" and he suggested Mother by Pink Floyd (absolutely beautiful solo, btw)
so anyway, i'm soliciting recommendos on songs i should learn that are a little more mid level (unless you think the songs i've mentioned above are mid level, in which case beginner level). i realize i probably should have just pm'd mocat and/or spracs (is he still here? i miss that dude) but i'm also curious the suggestions from folks on this blog who like music but don't necessarily know whether or not its technically challenging to play.
if it matters, i'm married and almost 40, so like, droppin panties isn't the top priority here. Don't get me wrong if its a panty dropper that's outstanding, but my objective here is to push through this rut and to start feeling like i'm making gains. No genres off limits. Would prefer stuff that isn't strictly acoustic, mostly b/c in the last year i bought a couple hot POA Gibson Les Paul solid body electrics and they are set up real nice by a professional luthier and my acoustic is old and cheap and most definitely needs the strings changed and i don't feel like messing with any of that right now.
TIA, fellow rockers and music-enjoyers!
