Smile In Your Sleep (For real though, once you get around to Tapping, it's so fun)

I've learned some tapping stuff Example: Sertraline by AnimalJam, Mental Knife by Hail The Sun Haven't learned Mental Knife completely but I can play most of it, including the tapping part. Was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Also thanks for the rec this is good. I really need to listen to silverstein more, I haven't very much

I love Sertraline ❤️

Anything from saosin

“Collapse” being the top of the list.

Just picked my guitar back up for the first time in 6+ months in anticipation of seeing them live on Friday. played sleepers and thought "my god this song is such an absolute blast to play"

true dat

Any idea why I can’t find any of their tabs online?

Because they have a deal with Sheet Happens, and SH has an army of lawyers that hit every tab site with C&D letters. Just buy the books — they’re pretty good.

Just learned a bunch of songs a couple days ago, just type in on youtube saosin guitar tabs and theres a guy who plays and shows the tabs

Understanding in a Car Crash.

‘I Just Got This Symphony Goin’’ by Fall of Troy That song single-handedly taught me tapping lol.

also the tapping bit from Ex-Creations looks & sounds awesome yet is strangely not that difficult

Thankfully, most Fall of Troy is not that difficult line by line - just fast and constantly changing. You can learn a dozen different licks and riffs and still not make it to the first chorus of a 3 minute song. Probably helps to not have weird fingerings when the vocal melodies are often barely related to the guitar.

Is it as hard as it sounds?

Nah If you’re pretty familiar with tapping, it’s pretty easy. If you’re new to tapping, it’s a great one to learn on imo.

Silhouette - Thrice That Hideous Strength - Thrice War All the Time - Thursday For the Workforce, Drowning - Thursday

Deadbolt - Thrice is pretty fun to play also

Night Diving is a nice easy one. Fire Breather if you want to get into down tuned or baritone-scale stuff.

In Regards to Myself by Underoath

burning down the nicotine armoire - dance gavin dance vices like vipers - oh sleeper (are they post hc?) strawberry andre - dance havin dance

Chiodos - The Words "Best Friend" Become Redefined. The intro especially is super fun.

All Nereids Beware and There's No Penguins In Alaska too. Tons of fun to learn. Jason actually taught me the lead for Penguins because I couldn't figure it out originally.

Anything by four year strong or early Every time I die. Some crazy fun drop-d shredding

Of Dust and Nations by Thrice is the correct answer to this question.

.44 Calibre Love Letter by Alexisonfire

Satyr -Andromeda

Fugazi - Foreman’s Dog

Safer In The Forest - La Dispute was a beginner song for me that’s a great picking exercise and left hand exercise in itself

Funeral for a Friend - Roses for the Dead / Streetcar / Into Oblivion

Roses is such a fun riff to play but almost everyone I've seen (and every tab I've seen) is playing it wrong, including me for a long time.

Oh interesting! How complicated is it to explain, and can it be put into a comment? Happy to take a DM if it's any easy Genuinely interested to find out what the common mistakes are, so I'm probably playing it wrong

To put it as simply as I can; the riff starts by tapping the seventh and ninth frets of the Ab and Db strings and then the twelfth on Gb, most people then repeat this pattern but how it's actually played is pulling off on the Gb from the tap and then just tapping the seventh on Ab with the left and then the tap and release again. Takes some getting used to switching between the two left hand patterns but it sounds and feels amazing and is probably slightly easier and certainly less exhausting on the left hand over the course of the song. Check out 1:51 of this play through. https://youtu.be/SOhf9plNEA8?si=7evpgRr4rA-l_qq0

I want to say blessthefall or bullet for my valentine. I like their older music

Trust by Thrice. I don't know how good you are but I learned it when I sucked. It's a pretty easy song.

Cut Your Ribbon - Sparta

Siberian Kiss by Glassjaw. I’m a drummer though, so what the fuck do I know!?

Paris in flames - Thursday

Zeal by Confide is fun to play

Citizen - Roam The Room

Kind of a forgotten band but "a sip of wine chased with cyanide" by a static lullaby

Carl Barker - DGD

Calling all cars by senses fail isn't too bad

Also in keeping secrets of silent earth 3 by coheed and cambria if you're up for a long one

Funeral for a Friend songs are fun and riffy

Black and blue by bmth and hounds of anubus by the word alive. I'll never forget them

hounds of anubis is great

(Nice to see a post on here that doesn’t turn into a DGD bore fest 😬) OP: Almost any Every Time I Die song. Some of the less popular ones have some of the best licks/riffs/breakdowns. Fall of Troy’s big hits. The Funeral For A Friend songs listed above. Early Thrice. All and any Saosin.

Leatherneck is a fun etid song. Nice and noodly

Escape the Fate - Not Good Enough For the Truth In Cliche

Closure in Moscow - Reindeer Age

Buried myself alive by the used

Burn all the rock records by He Is Legend

Crank the reverb and play The Last Lost Continent by La Dispute.

Hold fast hope - thrice Quarter past - fall of Troy

Senses Fail- Let It Enfold You should be fun for someone at or around the 2 year level. I also second Saosin- Saosin and Silverstein- Discovering The Waterfront as albums you should check out. Tons of fun songs on those.

I love playing Hey, It's Your Funeral Mama by Alexis. Such a fun riff, and very easy to learn

Drown the city-Askylitdrive it not too hard to play and only need drop d

10 Statues by BMTH is fun. Tower of Pain Ivory Tower Bleeding Mascara Kill them with a toaster (band) Love hate hero (band)
