What Satch song are you currently working on?

atm Im trying to get down Up in the Sky. Pretty fun song and not that hard at all.

I used to know that one, but it's been so long I probably couldn't play it at gunpoint these days. :lol: I agree though - a fun, straightforward solo.

I'm really not good at playing other people's music - I don't know what it is, must be some kind of a mental block... But I picked up the Extremist songbook last night, and I'm thinking of taking another crack at the "Summer Song" solo - I managed to get the opening through the 22nd-fret pulloff stuff down fairly cleanly in about 15 minutes, so maybe something's beginning to click. ;)

Satch Boogie.

I've already learnt Day at the Beach, and i think that song would be the only one i will play complete, hahahaa. Im not a very good guitar player, but its ok.

The songs that are in process are Crystal Planet, Raspberry Jam Delta V for now

Super Colossal and It's So Good (as much as I can out of the 2 clips I have of it) B)

Hi
I am learning MIDNIGHT . iT IS TOUGH NOT TOO CATCH THE OTHER STRINGS!

CHEERS
GRAHAM

ive been working on summer song for a while now, ive got it down up through where the intro repeats itself, have been too lazy to get the rest of it memorized, and there's some tricky parts towards the end.

working on extremist, ive got all the main melodies down, and about half the solo, up until the part where he starts ascending 4-5-7 on the low e string, that runs got me stumped.

i started working on time, but i think im gonna forget about that one for a few months, the solo is way over my head.

im working on hordes of locusts, have all the main stuff and some of the solo, still trying to get the legato stuff down but it sounds like crap when i play it, thats gonna take a while.

my next project is "secret prayer", such a beautiful song.

ive got a JS1000BP that should be getting delivered soon that should motivate me to learn a bunch of new stuff, cant wait :D

Just finished up 'Ten Words'. Check it out: http://satrianiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=2328

I've only been playing for a year and a half (self taught <_< ) so when I'm learning a satch song, there's only so much I can play before it gets too difficult ;) . I have managed to learn all of Satch Boogie and sloppy versions of Surfin and Midnight. I know bits of a bunch of other songs like Ice 9, Borg Sex, Summer Song, Crystal Planet, The Extremist, Up In The Sky, and others. Currently I'm trying to learn Friends and Summer Song.

Rubina, Home and Slow and Easy - beginner here ^_^

working on ceremony...

my favourite track from crystal planet B)

i'm working on Surfing with the Alien at the moment!

The only promblem for me is this tapping part at the end!

The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing, nearly got it ;)

-Rich-

I'm working on Crystal Planet at the mo and The Extremist solo :cool:

I just finished ten words, though the solo is basicly my own minus a few key shapes in there and lickes.

am currently working on satch boogie..3 day now and up 1:00 of the song,or less.

I really want to play Raspberry jam delta V, its a very fun song.

The thing is that i am not a great guitar player, and i'm really bad at sweep pickin, so that tricky thing he does sweepin up the neck en goin to legattos, has to be practiced like for 50 year at least, haha. i'll try to fix it with somethin i can came up with, so i can play the whole song

Im working on Not of this Earth. Nice song but i need to get my twin guitar harmonies on time :D

Echo , Time machine live version.

What a b**** lol.

Just nailed Ten Words...and might try One Robots Dream this weekend...*try* lol

Good choice criss, i really love the live version of echo on Time Machine Album.

I'll try, as well, figured "redshift rider" out

I have undertaken a really wierd project - The Bells Of Lal Pt. 1
I have always loved this song and I have never seen a cover of it.
So far I have done the following: I reversed the song and reversed the power tab. Now I am listening many many times to the reversed (well actually the original) song and I try to learn it reversed, then play it and then I plan to reverse the whole thing again. I doubt I will ever do it as I know myself but... :lol: :lol: :lol:

So far I have done only the outro of the song (reversed that is the intro) and the project looks like

this

and it sounds like

this

:beer3:

edit: Today I decided to do the intro and I think that I got it more accurate than I got the Outro that's above.
Anyone care to share an opinion?

Intro

that is a class job reversing the palying good luck with the rest of it.

I nailed 10 words and more or less nailed Flying A Blue Dream so I think something like Love Eternal or Crush of Love will be next....so many choices can't decide

Right now, I am learning Circles.
Love that solo!!!

But, I also everyday practice the Summer Song solo and Surfing solo. I'm getting really close to nailing them though!

EDIT: Just finished Circles! I love playing that!!! :w00t:

tryin to nail Super Colossal solo. but just cant. im actually trying to learn Dream Theater's Byond this life. have learnt most of it's riffs, but solo's are WAY beyond my capability!

I'm currently working on a backing track for a live feel Cool#9. Unfortunately I don't have a bass guitar so I record the bass line with my guitar through a whammy pedal (oct down) and tweak the EQ to get it somewhere close!

I am very grateful to the guy who tabbed the LISF version in Guitar Pro!

Right now I'm working on Satch Boogie. I've got the intro somewhat down, I just need to work on cleaning it up and speeding it up.

Then, on to the rest of the song (and by then I should have my POD XT Live, so I'll be able to play it and have it sound like it should, not an unplugged electric).

I have a couple of good pod live patches that I tweaked and get a goos sound for Satch Boogie...give me shout when you get it and I'll send them to you.


I am working through the licklibrary lesson on Satch Boogie and have got to about the end of the 4th solo but really need to get the 1st 2nd and 3rd solo a bit cleaner and fluent. It definitely makes a differnce though practicing this stuff plugged in so that you can get your left and right hand muting down.

Does anyone do the tapping part of this track and if so do they think the DAnny Gill lesson is accurate as pattern of notes does not seem to be quite the same for each chord shape as Satch's own lesson on google/youtube ?

Ive only been playing a year and a half so i havent really done much. Ive learnt fully :

Surfing with alien/one robots dream/ceremony/just like lightnin.

Currently working on:

flying in blue dream/ice 9/why

i just nailed the Mystical PThead groove thing one hended arpegios,, once you get em going theyre easy enough to do,, im moving that shape around and getting some cool "the power cosmic" kinda things going on

peace

Currently finishing off the extremist just confused what fret does satch use the harmonics with the bar on near the end of the solo is it the 12th fret or 5th fret on the f-string i got 2 tabs just no idea which one is correct on that part also now working on the forgotten part 2 and until we say goodbye.

3 brilliant pieces of music.
Very recommended!

summer song's solo

I'm playing Always, Starry Night, Home, You Saved my Life, Mountain Song, The forgotten Part 2, Ride, Just Look Up, Why, Love Thing, Ten Words, The Meaning of Love and Rubina:)

Im learning Surfing with alien :D

I have Crying pretty good and also working on all the other ballads, Rubina, AWMAWY, Love thing. also Big bad Moon and have alot of Summer Song down good also. I have been working on bits and pieces of most all his songs at one time or another. Most of them are great up to a certain point when your learning them and then you have to go to the woodshed for 6 mos. to learn a 10 sec ,part.

bamboo, midnight, headless, new day :)

im re-learning SWTA first solo....any help with the evil pick tapping?

Surfing with the alien, Summer Song, Satch Boogie.

Btw, seppe_sai, about the pick tapping: just tense your picking arm up and itll start shaking automatically :lol: or maybe im just weird. And anyway, the tapping part isnt the part which you should worry about...Its the uber hard section straight after *shudder*

thats the way i do it, its pretty hard that way, and dangerous too xD

now im learning not of this earth

Always with me, always with you, Midnight :) cool stuff, you know

I've been really into Satchs softer side lately so I re-learned Love Thing, learned A Love Eternal (nice for a warm up on the fingers), and am currently trying my hand at AWM, AWY. There is one part in it that I just keep screwing up (the quick bit at 1:10) I'm generally got all that good on stuff like that in general so it's proving to be a bit of a bugger. I'm getting better at it but it'll be a while yet me thinks lol.
