Satch for a beginner shredder

[Professor Jones]

Thanks for the suggestions ! I'm starting to feel a little more confident with those legato runs

I'm working on that one at the moment. Great song (Shalla-Bal, this is).

Ten Words from Super Colossal. Nice groove, very melodic and bluesy, and quite representative of Satch, actually. It's a super easy song, too, and it has a great variety of tones. Also, crowd chant is a good "experienced beginner" song that is, by nature, a bit "shreddier" than Ten Words. Both are quite easy to pick up. Then, move along into more advanced stuff...anything on SWTA would be great. Good luck!

Well Im a beginner and I can play almost all of summer song. its fun to jam to and its not hard at all.

I found 'A Train of Angels' from Crystal Planet is quite good, if you can remember the position shifts for the intro part. Solos aren't too hard and it's got a good driving groove.

the first song from satch that I learned is The Extremist, it´s not hard and is a lot of fun to play

actually I´ve just realized that I´ve learned most of the songs mentioned in this thread and I only remember how to play 2 or 3 of them, hmm I´ll go re-learn those songs haha

go back to the beginning try out 'Not of this Earth' or if you like the Jam after Circles on "Satriani Live" try "The Enigmatic" also off Not of this Earth'

[Bang_Bang]

so much to choose from

[SColfax]

Ten Words may be the easiest. It has a melodic verse, and a nice solo in the middle that sounds good but doesn't rely on any effects or whammy tricks.

[Armann]

Ohh and check out the Joe Satriani book on this page, If Troy Stetina played the solo's from the book it must be pretty accurate

old thread but found it useful. I too am a beginning shredder and with some of your guys direction I think Ive found a few songs to keep me occupied without feeling overwhelmed.
