I'll recommend these:
Bad Horsie
For the Love Of God
Always With Me, Always With You
Satch Boogie
Dyin Day
Liberty
Summer Song

note for note, at original tempo? any recordings of that or something similar that you've done. sounds impressive indeed!guitarshredder7 said:me personally would learn far beyond the sun by yngwie, i played it in my schools talent show and got 1st place

Liquid Tension Experiment: State of Grace
One of my favorites. It's easy as hell.

Why does everyone always list Liberty in easy Vai stuff to play? I still find those fast runups etc really hard, and haven't mastered them yet at all. Yet I can play stuff like Dyin Day, Sisters and The Crying Machine and they don't come up as often (yes I know someone mentioned Dyin Day in this thread, its just an example).
Play Satch Boogie if you want to wow, or Sisters if you want something fairly easy and nice. Good thing about the Boogie is that it's pretty loose, so you can improv around instead of playing it exactly note for note.
Always With Me...is a good one too. Surfing With The Alien isn't too hard either.
Pull off the Attitude Song and I'm sure your fellow students will respect you for months to come. You'd be hard pushed to learn it in 2 weeks though.
I'd go with Satch Boogie.

It's short. Even if you think the technique is difficult, it only gets hairy in 2 or 3 spots. Plus, the alternate picking is pretty standard, the tapping is minimal, and the fact that it's so much like Ode to Joy makes it popular with non-guitar audiences.learningtolive said:

yeah, but a good tone is needed otherwise it will sound crappy.
