Hi Friends !

I just thought of learning some Metal or Rock Guitar (a few Power Chords etc) for Rythm Playing.

I request you to kindly give me some advice on starting.

Thanks and Lots of Regards
Kush

Real easy starting one, is greenday hitching a ride - B5// A5// G5// F5/\/\/\ then PM through the verse (or chorus, i cant remember now)

The offspring - Spare me the details G#5 D#5 C#5 then G#5 F5 (5th string root) C#5 again, same progression muted through the verse

Black Sabbath - Iron Man easily recognisable
Metallica - For whom the bell tolls

ZZtop's stuff (legs, sharp dressed man) isnt too hard by the sounds of it, but ive never really tried to learn it

Hey Kush, how are you?
I hope both you and Priya are doin' well!

As far as metal goes, perhaps the easiest metal are some of the Black Sabbath tunes, like Paranoid, Iron Man (as Matty mentioned above), Electric Funeral, etc

Then if you check out some of the KISS stuff (albeit not heavy metal), you'll notice that not only are they catchy but also fairly easy to learn. Especially the intros to Cold Gin, Parasite, She, Calling Dr. Love, Nothing To Lose, etc.

Good luck Kush!

The rhythm guitar for "Cold Gin" is VERY easy - it's mostly just A/G/D.

Many of the Scorpions songs have very basic rhythm progressions.....very easily played with barre chords (i.e. "Rock You Like a Hurricane", "The Zoo", etc.)
