for those who can play instruments...
 

what songs do you know how to play?

mine are: Disorder (by Joy Division) on bass
Transmission (by JD) on bass
She's Lost Control on bass
Love will Tear us apart on keyboard
Gigantic (by Pixies) on bass
Girl Named Sandoz on bass

too many to bother listing. i've been writing lots lately though, so not doing too much learning songs. i recently figured out Love wil tear us apart on keys....

Kill Yr. Idols and Stereo Sanctity.
Those are the only songs I know in that tuning (whatever it may be).

A few riffs here and there.

hundreds and hundreds. i used to sit around learning whole records at a time.

poser

learning entire hole and nirvana records when you're 11 really qualifies for that.

i don't even remember how to play most of them.

Teen Age Riot - Sonic Youth
Range Life - Pavement
HANDS DOWN - DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL
Quite a few Nirvana Songs
Some beatles songs
some other songs
I mostly write my own songs though

how long have you guys been playing for?

4 years, but it doesn't show.

2 years, and it doesn't show either.

Guitar: 1982-present
Saxomophone: 1980-1985, never again.

I played trombone for like 6 months. I hated the music teacher.

"Make an 'E' noise when you buzz"

*tries*

"No! No! No! And 'EEEEE' noise, not F!"

Worst teacher ever. I left after that.

i only know let's dance (as covered by the ramones), i wanna be your dog,
and about a girl by nirvana. i've learned others but i forget them.

Let's see (these are just the covers, I usually do original tunes or improvisation):

Astronomy Domine, Vegetable Man - Pink Floyd
Magic Potion - The Open Mind
Many songs by Spacemen 3 and Loop
Guru In The Echo - Ghost
A few Overhang Party tunes
Dreamin' Demon - The Birdmen Of Alkatraz
Death Is The Martyr Of Beauty, Fall Apart - Death In June
Ghost Riders In The Sky - Stan Jones
One Eye - Current 93
See How We Fall - Sol Invictus
King Volcano - Bauhaus
Saudade - Love And Rockets
Snow Queen - Tom Rapp
Sleep At The Bottom - Low/Transient Waves/Piano Magic
Blue Skies - Irving Berlin (I fucking hate that song)
Tom Of Bedlam - trad.


several others I'm sure I'm forgetting.

7 but it doesnt show.

5, but it doesn't show.

i have been playing the guitar for abt 10 years...

I can play pretty much every punk rock song in existence... ;) Most Radiohead songs, a couple of Jimi Hendirx tunes, mostly the slower ones, like Hey Joe, slayer and metallica songs, nirvana songs, some deep purple,
some pixies, some soundgarden, some sepultura and of course sonic youth songs, but not all of course... the CIS+KYI and SY EP and some off Dirty and Murray Street.

I have also only recently been fooling around with some 303 emulators... and some rudimentary production techniques.
EDIT: I've been meaning to learn some Rollins Band tunes, man, those are really kick-ass...

i think it's more fun to write your own songs.

I learned guitar by just playing Sonic Youth songs, but then I got bored with that and began to write my own stuff. I still can't play guitar in standard EADGBE. Well. I know two chords.

I don't bother with other stuff anymore.
