Well today I learned Crazy Train ( and can already play it xD ) except the riffs and fills xD but its still very fun and challenging to play.

So, what is your favorite song to play ( not the best song) but the song that u most have fun playing.

I wanna be that guy that you wish you were ! ( i wish I were that guy)

You gotta set your sights high to get high!

Werewolves of London (it's cheating though, it's so simple :D )
I Hear You Knocking (more cheating... 12 bar blues on E & A)
Sundown on the 12 string.

It is difficult to answer when one does not understand the question.

Hmm, just to get more input, what is your favorite, and why :P?

Crazy Train just because it makes me feel so bad-@ss that I'm playing an Ozzy Osbourne song other than Paranoid ( its Black Sabbath but I guess it still counts as an Ozzy song )

I wanna be that guy that you wish you were ! ( i wish I were that guy)

I love the changes on Little Wing, so that gets used often if I have a guitar in my hands.

On acoustic, probably Anji by Davey Graham. Again, I use it to noodle new ideas, mess with dynamics, etc. It's a really familiar piece for me, so I can push it further than new material I'm trying to remember the changes for.

There's also a slow jzzy tune (no name for it) I just learned which, again, I love the changes on. Also throws in octaves ina few places and mixes chords and melody, both of which I enjoy doing.

And answering (belatedly) this thread has possibly just given me a clear explanation for my vague yet long held desires to play jazz. Interesting. Thanks Coolnama. 8)

Right now, I'm pretty much only playing my band's song and what my bass teacher is showing me. So, my faves are "Murder Motel" cause it's got such a cool groove and "Rock n' Roll Zombie", which is the first song I wrote for the band. My bass teacher has me playing "Burnin' For You" by BOC. Great song that I learned on guitar a couple years ago, now I'm learning the low end.

Bass player for Undercover

Hmm that's a tough one but I've found that songs I like to listen to aren't always the songs I like to play.

We aren't playing any right now but I've found AC/DC songs to be pretty fun songs to play they all have alot of energy to them and keep you moving. We may play one of there new songs Big Jack though.

I like to play Judas Priest's..You got another thing coming and Hot Rockin

Weezer's Hashpipe is kind of fun but they make me sing it and there's no way I can hit those high notes

Foghat's I just wanna make love to you is another one.

We play Sunshine of your love by Cream and that bores me to death to play

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!

I've come to despise that song because it's used in that stupid Just For Men commercial. The one where these trying-to-recapture-their-youth types with surfboards say "Don't trust anyone over 90", and the one guy is up at mic with an ax, and a woman is caressing his now-youthful-looking head. :roll:

(Sorry, I fought off a migraine this afternoon and I'm a little cranky :oops: ) :lol:
