What are you wood-shedding ?

Being a perpetual wood shedder, I am alwas trying to extend my playing range, eternally worrying at the edges of what I can play and what I can't.
Songs that are a work in progress.........
Sweet Child solo, the fast ascending bridge part ( which I have to re-learn, since I leanrt if from a magazine transcription originally, which was WRONG!), and the last part, which I nearly have down after a long time.
Orion, second solo
Master of Puppets, second solo which is evilly fast, but I'm getting there
Canon Rock, my young student wants me to teach him this, so I have to learn it, and it's fun.
Civil War, solos and interludes
Paradise City, intro and verse riff
Don't Tread on Me - intro and verse riffs
Wherever We May Roam, started looking at the outro solo, cos I play the main one, but have never lookd at the outro
One - will I ever finish with this song ?? Maybe in my next life. I need glasses to read the tab, and maybe then I'll finish learning the pesky tapping pattern.
Not much PJ in there at present, sounds sad, btu I've found that when I play too much PJ, my playing deteriorates. Lotsa Gunners and Metallica cos there is just so much material there and great transcriptions.
What are others learning ??

Now see that is pure class. I am a total sucker for semi-hollow bodies. I can't quite make out the name on the headstock though. Have we met this gal before ?
Total versatility in a beauty like that.
I was doodling throught the Led Zep III book today and ran across "Thank You" which called for 12 string electric, which had me suddenly longing for a Duesenberg Black Cat 12. She reminds me of guitars quite a lot. There is on on the wall in the shop next to work.
I feel a GAS attack coming on, but I'm determined my next music buy will be a new hi-fi rig with outstanding speakers, and a turntable.
Not sure if I made the formal introduction here on the PJ board. I know that I talked about it a bit, but I haven't been doing much talking since receiving it. Too busy playing
It's a Motorave BelAire, built by Mark Fuqua. You can check out his work at http://www.motorave.com

Nice. I seem to recall you mentioning this before now.
Did you go with the TV Jones Filtertrons ?? That's what in my Gretsch, and I think they are superb pups.
I like the idea of hand-built custom specials costing at least as much as a decent production guitar. Doesn't seem right that they should be less.
You certainly seem to be a discerning player.
Good eye on the pickups, too. They are TV Jones TV-Trons. Something about the way Filtertrons react in a semi-hollow guitar is just magic to my ears

Yeah, those pups look a little different to the Filtertrons in my Gretsch, a littel wider and flatter, and no fillister heads by the looks. Could just be the pics too. The tones, I agree, are jsut killer, and through pretty much any amp. I was playing Violet through the Lonestar yesterday, and teh OD channel was just growling wonderfully. It's pretty much the only guit I use the middle pup position on too.
Does it have a sustain block like an ES ?

It's a bit of a bitch. I learned it wrong from a magazine transcipt, and now I'm still re-learning it. I was doing that at lunchtime with a metronome earlier this year, which is why I had my guitar in teh car. That was the one that got stolen, and iit just threw the practise routine right out.
Actually, the last few nights, I have thrown steady speed increase out teh window, and just gone for recklessly fast tremolo picking exercises, to try and break a speed wall. It is effective if not overused. It's a tip I picked up from a mag. Sometimes you gotta go hopelessly fast and sloppy for a bit , so that what was previously fast seems a bit slower. It does have a place, and is working for me at present. The trick is to not just become terminally sloppy, an dto bring accuracy and tidiness back in again at regular intervals.
Yeah, I've got at mate who is at Uni, and he is visiting on Friday. I taught him to play a couple of years ago, and he is pretty good now. He loves Gunners, so I've been learning a few more songs, so I can jam them with him.
I find the songs are actually really really good when you get into them. Pity Axel is such a sideshow, he took a lot of attention away from how good their music actually is.
I bought my mate a wah pedal for Xmas, and we are having an early party on Friday, cos he will be at his family's on Xmas day.
I can't wait to see his face, he is gonna be stoked.
