Really want to learn some guitar riffs...certain ones

[FCD]

Okay, so I really want to learn some guitar riffs, badly.  I don't mean I badly want to learn how to play them, no, I mean I want to learn how to play them...badly.   I don't need to know the whole song, just enough so people can tell what the song is (sort of).  I've picked out three (3) songs.

1. Stairway to Heaven (Led Zepplin)

2. Smoke on the Water  (almost got this one down already!  Badly)

3. Smells like teen spirit

Once have those songs in my 'repertoire', I wanna' head down to the nearest Guitar Center and grab the first decent guitar I see, and quickly de-tune about (3) strings, and then launch into my virtuoso(s).

Yes, my goal is to thoroughly piss off everyone in Guitar Center and get kicked outta' the joint!  LOL!



(Full Disclosure - I have nothing against Guitar Center, I'm just jerky like that.  I'm a rebel; what can I say?) 

J/K - I post this just in jest.

As a sound guy for 30 years, allow me to add to your list:

Sweet Child O Mine.

Enough said.

Hee hee...well, I was just kidding, but I knew those were some forbidden songs.  I just thought I'd make it even worse!

Paranoid by Black Sabbath, Hey Joe by Hendrix, and Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones. Sing out of tune on all of them and change some of the lyrics to make it more of a parody.

Now there's a good idea!  There are songs out there which are commonly sung to the wrong words.  There's even some websites dedicated to pointing out both the incorrect lyrics and correcting them.  People seem to get pretty excited about the subject as if the wrong lyrics are a personal affront to them.  Maybe I'll go find a couple of those.

"We built this city...
We built this city...
We built this city...on sausage rolls."

or...

"Excuse me, while I kiss this guy"

(Hendrix)
------------------------
or...

"We've gotta' hold on...
to what we've got...
It doesn't matter if we're naked or not"

(Bon Jovi)
--------------------------
or (one of my favorites)...

"Let's pee in the corner
Let's pee on the spot-light'

(REM)
-----------------------
or (another fav)

"Master!
Master!!
Master of Muppets I'm pullin' your strings"

(Metallica)

I love this one . . .
