I have been playing with the main riff from UFO’s Rock Bottom. Michael Schenker is just incredible in that song. I am simplifying it though. He pedals off the open E string alot, and I am just not good enough, or fast. So I am playing the basic notes.
I have also been playing with The Scorpions-Rock You Like A Huricane. I would like to relearn Big City Nights. I learned that whole song including the solo and fills years ago when I was taking guitar lessons.
These days I have been playing mostly the rhythm parts. I have a lot of fun playing Joe Walsh’s Rocky Mountain Way. I have gotten pretty good at the rhythm parts of that.
Maybe I will have to revisit some Ted Nugent songs. I used to be able to play a few. They were a lot of fun, but I used to break a lot of strings with all the string bending.
Maybe I will record a video, and post it on YouTube. I really suck though. But I am getting better. Slowly. Then I guess I will just suck less.
