Geetar_Axl Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Just looking for some new songs and artists to learn, especially that sound good on a LP Standard so Ive got some good ones under my belt for when the time comes. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Besides our original material, we do covers of the following, a.o. : Thin Lizzy (the entire Live & Dangerous album, Cold Sweat) UFO (Shoot Shoot) Riot (Swords & Tequila) Whitesnake (Bad Boys, Here I Go Again) They all sound pretty good with a Les Paul plugged into a Marshall:d/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geetar_Axl Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Haha Marshall, not in this house. We live above a Vet Surgery at the moment (not for to much longer) Ok house, very annoying and gets in the way of habits (I could get my 15w Peavey Solo amp to 5 probably to 7 at our old place, shared house too but it was a noisey awesome place.) Here the highest Ive gotten is 3...when they werent there. I play on 2 and a half now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 A great simple song that sounds awsome with a LP and just a touch of gain is All Right Now. The main riff is just A and D, but the trick is not to play a regular D chord. It's an inversion where you just keep your first finger barred over the 2nd fret for the A chord and just add your 2nd and 3rd fingers on the 2ndtsring/3rd fret and 4th string/4th fret for the D. It's so simple but the slight variation in the D chord makes a world of tone difference. The solo is also a classic LP tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvendio Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 That's the beauty about the Les Paul is it's so versatile you can play anything on it. Not too much gain and really easy to learn is The Sultans of Swing the rhythm is real easy and the solo has a couple of tricky parts but not too hard. I love playing Foo Fighters (really really easy) ACDC (also really easy) Ozzy Revelation mother earth the solo is a little tricky but not too hard but very powerful sounding.

Gibson CS Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Im in a "Rush" frame of mind these days... The overture from 2112 sounds soooo cool on a LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiveSoundGuy Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 It all really depends on what my fingers will let me play. I'll try anything at least once, but there are things you just know right out of the box, you're not going to be able to play no matter how much you practice, or how hard you try, so with those I don't really bother. That being said, I'm not a big fan of the power ballads. I like for my toes to be tapping, and my foot to be stompin' if you know what I mean. AC/DC Southern Rock Foo Fighters Black Crowes Honky Tonk Zeppelin Grand Funk Pink Floyd CSN & Y Eagles Way too many to list actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 To add to the other's lists: Kiss - "Duece"- off "Kiss:Alive!"

Let me know if these aren't enough.... I've played a Strat for decades and just got my first LP.....I got lots of 'em . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Anything will sound good on a Les Paul...anything! Ever heard of Bedouin Soundclash? Canadian band from Montreal. Kinda reggae-ish but oh so good! Don't get me wrong, hard rock is the best...but every once in a while, some Bob Marley or Bedouin Soundclash is just what the doctor ordered. When the Night Feels My Song was the first tune I played on my Custom...and it was a beautiful day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

led floyd9 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I've been playing Yngwie Malmsteen's "Far Beyond the Sun". I've also been playing a bit of Dragonforce's "Through the Fire and Flames", but I've only been that because it was in Guitar World this month (an 18 page tab ) and because the intro is just so fun and it's actually a good warm up excersize. But believe me, I've been playing way too many things to even list, so I just decided to tell what I've been working on recently. (like since last week) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_104 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I don't play to many covers, got enough material now for a full 2 hours, be we try to throw in a couple of familiar songs to keep the crowd going. I love to play some ZZ Top, the ladies love it. I usually go with either La Grange, Legs, or Sharp Dressed Man. I also really like it when we play hot for teacher by van halen. Another good one is Moby ****/ Bonzo's Montreux, wich we play to give the singer a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
