Midweek Guitar Recording(s)

I haven't posted any covers for a while because of the whole file manager issue (incidentally, I still can't upload files larger than 1 MB), but this one sounds kinda cool.

I've been trying to learn some more difficult songs on guitar (I can play a good two or three minutes of "Master of Puppets" now), and this week, I decided to spend some time on Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love." Here's a quick, rather low quality recording of what I've got so far (the solo is slightly altered from the original):

Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love: Part 1

This is a pretty sweet song.

UPDATE

Because I'm too tired/busy to post anything else until the weekend, here's a couple more quick recordings.

First, a rough and not totally accurate rendition of the first couple minutes of "Master of Puppets" that I recorded a couple weeks ago:

Master of Puppets

My eventual goal is to do a complete cover of this with live drums (Lars is a shitty drummer and I can therefore play pretty much the entire thing in one take), but I doubt I'll be capable of playing all the guitars for quite a while.

Also, here's a quick series of riffs I came up with using the "Big Bottom" tone on the PODxt:

Big Bottom

I have about five other original songs I'm working on at the moment, including rough recordings, but I'll save those for now.
