I found Enter Sandman manageable to learn compared to other Metallica tracks. I'm getting on really well. Although I've stopped for now as I'm now focusing on Powerwolf demons are a girl's best friend, as I have an audition for a band, and that's a song they want me to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only cracked Enter Sandman successfully (have only been playing for a year really). I have had a shot at some other tabs but haven't followed through with it. I just checked my bookmarks and Creeping Death is the most recent half-assed effort I've made 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been playing since last September-October. I tend to use Songster to learn new songs, I find it speeds learning up for me 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of their tabs are wrong. Right notes but asking ridiculous movements over the fretboard. I sopped using it after finding some songs were ridiculously hard to play when the same notes can be found by moving up the strings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's what I've found the songster can be wrong. Then again a lot of tab found online on various websites is wrong, and that's the good ones. Always pays to listen to the track and try and dissect it and cross reference with the tab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I’m normally working on Robbie Shakespeare or Aston Barrett Basslines, but I really like this one by mikey Craig, it’s a little tricky in places ,great song 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozkerr Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Got two on the go at the moment - The Boys Are Back in Town and Atomic. The octave jumps in Atomic aren't that hard, but the bass solo has rather a lot of dots in a very small space. Going to take a wee while to master that bit, I think.

First thing I do with a tab is write out a stave in Musescore and work from that. Makes it much easier to work out and simplify movements over the neck.

Have you tried downloading the videos and playing them back at a slower speed on your own machine so it's easier to follow the tab? savefrom.net is one site I find very handy for that. Some videos can't be downloaded, but I've found that things like bass covers and isolated tracks usually can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steantval Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be - AC/DC Not particularly hard, but a great rocking song. We are supposed to be doing it at our band rehearsal tonight, the singer hasn’t even looked at it, he’s had two full weeks to sort it out, very frustrating. 😤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the playback speed feature in the gear icon settings at the bottom of the video to slow it down to 75%. If it's complicated or extremely fast then I'll chuck it into Guitar Pro and take it seriously but YT is fine for jamming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
