Guitar Medley!

I had some free time, a free house and nothing to do one day so I decided to set up a camera and record myself playing loads of crap. Here's what I got with most of it chopped out.

I'm completely aware my timing's out on almost everything and my amp becomes really tinny at high volume, but never mind. Each piece has a number in the top-left corner, and I'm gonna be stupid and try and make a game out of it.

If you recognise one of them, post what you think it is, or try and drop other people some clues. When anyone gets one right I'll fill it in up here with your name on it... Don't judge me too harshly, I admit I'm not that great a player.

I'll give you #11, because it's not actually a song.

1) Dream Theater - Constant Motion (Dudleyrulz)
2) Sonata Arctica - Blank File (bobcovers)
3) Sonata Arctica - Blinded No More (bobcovers)
4) Paul Gilbert - Echo Song (Dudleyrulz)
5) Sonata Arctica - Respect The Wilderness (bobcovers)
6) Sonata Arctica - Jani Liimatainen's Young Guitar Demo (sort of) (bobcovers)
7) Sonata Arctica - Last Drop Falls (bobcovers)
8) Sonata Arctica - Victoria's Secret (bobcovers)
9) Sonata Arctica - 8th Commandment (bobcovers)
10) Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (coachmk)
11) Generic timeless, tuneless crap...
12) Paul Gilbert - Radiator (Dudleyrulz)
13) Van Halen - Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love (Dudleyrulz)
14) Joe Satriani - The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing (coachmk)
15) Joe Satriani - Summer Song (coachmk)
16) Van Halen - ... (coachmk)
17) Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze (Dudleyrulz)
18) Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast (Dudleyrulz)
19) Avenged Sevenfold - Beast And The Harlot (Dudleyrulz)

I think 14 was potatohead groove thing by satch and 15 is summer song. 16 sounds kinda like the one riff from i'm the one by van halen

[jeffro2608]

14 and 15 are spot on, 16 is Van Halen but a different song.

omg i have the same guitar ha

[jeffro2608]

Really? I've only ever known of one other person who's even heard of this guitar... It's like a legend that never existed.

[bobcovers]

As a SA fan I'd say:

2) Blank File

3) Blinded No More

5) Respect The Wilderness

6) Jani Liimatainen first young guitar demo (legato and sweeping exercises)

7) Last Drop Falls

8) Victoria's Secret

9) 8th Commandment

Am I right? :D

[coachmk]

10 is comfortably numb

[jeffro2608]

Oh yeah. Apart from 14 and 15 you got those right. They ARE both Satriani, but 14 isn't Power Cosmic.

[jeffro2608]

I think I need it professionally set up, because if I don't bend the strings in a certain way the sound tends to just melt away. I've got quite buzzy frets and I can't do anything to it, think it needs a fret-shave.

But I do admit that there's a lot of crap bends in this video.

1. constant motion - dream theater

4. echo song - paul gilbert

12. radiator - paul gilbert

13. aint talkin bout love - van halen

17. purple haze - jimi hendrix

18. number of the beast - iron maiden

19. avenged sevenfold - beast and the harlot
