Q: What songs can you play yourself on an instrument? ๐ŸŽธ

I'm an electric guitar noob, but I can play these songs all the way through:

 

Breaking the Law by Judas Priest

Anarchy in the U.K.
 by Sex Pistols

Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana

Elephant by Tame Impala

Long Kiss Good Bye by Halcali

12:51
 by The Strokes

 

And right now, I'm learning to play Phantom of the Opera by Iron Maiden. It's a challenge because it's very fast for me ๐Ÿ˜… but I love that song.

How about you? I'd love to read your responses.

That's a good question, thanks for sharing @HunterPandora !

I used to pay classic violin so I don't have a song that I can recall from memory, the only one I knew from memory was Twinkle twinkle little star, that was the first song I learned. I mostly played reading music sheets, but one of the songs that I used to play a lot and that I like is Dvorak's Humoresque.

Another one I used to play a lot because it was really fun was Paganini's Witches' dance Violin Solo. In general I think Paganini's compositions for violin are really interesting and fun to play, a bit complicated but really fun (for me at least).

Hi @RagnerTheHiker, that's so nice! Piano is a very good instrument and really versatile, specially if you'd like to get into composing or like a career in music. I have some friends that are in music, not like full time as it is a bit complicated, but when they get an idea of something they would like to write, the first instrument they pick to start is the piano.

I really like the songs you mentioned. Are you learning them by yourself? Or are you taking classes?

Hi @Bing-boogerton , thanks for posting!

They are really good songs! Specially the Call of Kthulu. It is the song that got me into Metallica, but I must confess that listened first to Apocalyptica's version and I still like it a bit more than Metallica's version. I love both, but for me, Apocalyptica's version is a bit higher on my preferences.
