Learning actual guitar parts from various tunes.
| 
Sep 3 14:05 UTC 1995 |
I'm an ok guitarist, really a bass player. I'm pretty good at figuring out
chord structure, etc. for a tune, but I have trouble getting specific guitar
parts. On bass I can get every part on a tune down, and I'd like to be able
to get some guitar riffs, etc.
So where can I get such info, in sheet music or tab? Commercial song books,
band books etc. tend to be more newbie oriented, where the transcription is
simplified and sometimes tranposed into an easier key. I don't want that;
I want the actual parts written down! And it would be even better if I could
check stuff out of a library rather than purchasing.
And the worst part is, I don't want to learn Bon Jovi songs! I want some King
Crimson, maybe Red Hot Chili Peppers (ok, they aren't that obscure :) ), etc.

Elderly Instruments (or is it Elderly Music?) in Lansing has a large
inventory of rock, folk, pop, and blues music. Not only chord-along books
but lead part score books. Great stuff.

Elderly is really good in the folk and historic music scene, but I remember
their rock music section as being rather sparse. I know their catalog has
very little of what I'm interested, and the rare times I'm in Lansing it's
usually Sunday and Elderly is closed. :(

I'm the guy who brought up the existence of Elderly here! :) :)

I don't think I forget it, since I had looked in the books catalog sometime
prior to entering this item. If I wanted to learn banjo, Elderly would have
been #1 and only source. (why banjo? I interviewed for a job there once,
and they were concerned tdhat I didn't play any banjo - even with all the
electric instruments, etc, folk was still the main focus, and for some reason
banjo was the main instrument. :) )
It doesn't have quite what I'm looking for, but I still really like Elderly
for a number of other things.

Try the usenet guitar tab thing you can always find someone who knows
the parts. Theres also the Online Guitar archive with a bunch of tab and
chords for all kinds of bands. They will even post your own tunes!
