What are you currently learning / listening to?

[Stratocaster]

Subject says it all.
What’s on the current rotation in your head (or if your actually working through a piece, what is it)?

Strat says…
Genesis – Dancing with the Moonlit Knight

I'm in shred mode right now
Yngwie - "Far beyond the Sun" I figured I may as well learn this all the way thru :lol:
Vinnie Moore - "The Thinking Machine" and "The Maze" (gotta love the vinman)
John Petrucci - "Jaws of Life"
Nevermore ...basically everything from their last 3 CDs (Love the 7 string stuff)

[Elpelotero]

Muse and Death Magnetic can't seem to get out of my car or hands

 

[Riff Blister]

The last two Opeth CDs are getting heavy rotation at my house.

Another Swedish band I am totally hooked on is Witchcraft. Mainly their album called "The Alchemist".

I dug up Captain Beyond's first album a while back and have been listening to that a lot too.
My band mates and I have been working on "Dancing Madly Backwards".
I can't wait to see the "dear in the headlights" look we get from people if we ever play it at a gig. :shock:

 

[thirstypirate]

I'm learning Jessica by the Allman's and have been listening to a lot of Doyle Bramhall and Jeff Beck.

 

[Vigo1999]

working on dorian mode (licks, chord progressions and stuff).

check out Miles Davis "kind of blue", the inception of modal jazz. blues, mixolydian, dorian EVERYWHERE!!!

also John scofield "a go go" has a lot of dorian.

Thanks Rabies gonna check'em out, although Miles has some tunes that are really wierd imo. Ive also tried to learn more from Maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim, but i simply cant memorize those 200 chords for each song :mrgreen:

Sco is always a name that catch my attention when it cames for jazz-rock and fusion. wondering . . .ever listened to Ricardo Silveira?? great stuff also.

I've got skill A.D.D. when I find a great band in my ears and don't actually practice like I should. I'd rather be listening to the metronome but instead I kick on my iPod and play along with Santa Cruz's The Expendables and of course, Death Magnetic. Also, Rancid, Vinnie Moore's "Out of Nowhere" album, or at least parts of it. And if I want to make my ears ring, NOFX. I feel so young doesn't anyone on here play punk? Or is it just cuz I have a Recto.... :?:

I really tried hard to give death magnetic a chance. didn't happen...

The opposite for me. The more I hear it, the more genius it is. And if you try to play it, the more respect I have for all of them. It's not MoP or AJFA. But it is awful close and I've come to appreciate it outside of the comparison.

That's the version I was hearing. Great hook and just good use of a 1/4/5 chord thing
