23 déc. 2011, 12h40m par Colon_Peee

So I've decided that as my new year's resolution for 2012, I'm going to try and get better at guitar by learning at least one new song every week. The problem is though, that I've got no idea what to learn, so I'm posting here in the hope that I get some vaguely realistic suggestions as to stuff I can learn.

So, stuff I already know: (probably more than this, but this is all I can think of)

System of a Down - Aerials
Bad Religion - American Jesus
Rise Against - Anywhere But Here
A Day to Remember - All I Want
Conditions - Better Life
Strung Out - Black Crosses
Rise Against - Blood To Bleed
Biffy Clyro - Bubbles
As I Lay Dying - The Darkest Nights
36 Crazyfists - Destroy The Map
A Day To Remember - The Downfall of Us All
Rise Against - Everchanging
Rise Against - Give It All
Four Year Strong - It Must Really Suck To Be Four Year Strong Right Now
Rise Against - Like the Angel
Rise Against - Midnight Hands
Four Year Strong - On A Saturday

Your favorite form of transportation:

20 - Late of the Pier - Fantasy Black Channel

This is one bizarre, yet thoroughly satisfying, listen. It starts off by coming on like the Clangers national anthem, before moving into driving electronica numbers laden with synth effects.

Mad prof genius.

19 - Forward, Russia! - Life Processes

Going all standard for this release, FR decided that actual song names - rather than Give Me A Wall's arbitrary numbers - would be fine this time. How contemporary.
