Standard Tuning Rhythms

[Alicia Willis]

You cant really go wrong with Jimi Hendrix and SRV but besides those
Who did You Think I was by John Mayer trio
Crazy train by Ozzy Osbourne
Domination by Pantera
Fucking hostile by Pantera
Whole lotta love by Led Zeppelin
Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin
Paperback Writer by The Beatles
I want you(she's so heavy) by The Beatles

There's a whole lot of deep purple and Rainbow which are in standard too

Thanks Ids ! I knew you would have a whole list lol.

 

[Edward John]

Those same 4 chords man.

Hey, hey, hey … sometimes they shake up the order!

Rise Against have many songs in E standard: Give It All, Like The Angel etc. Mostly their earlier songs, before they switched to half step down songs. Haven't really checked their newer ones.

Of course, there is always Smoke on the Water .

I think I’ll hold off on smoke on the water for now

Fan of John Mayer by any chance?

Most don't realise how good the solo in that song is. Ritchie Blackmore is GOD!

Acdc is the king of accessible-yet-legendary rhythm guitar.

Yes, also the kings of writing the same song/album for decades.

The Offspring have some cool rhythms in standard. Gone away and The kids Aren't alright are a couple I used to jam.

Not particularly but I’m open to listening to more of his work.

Yesssss !!!!! I was actually listening to “the kids aren’t alright” earlier ! Lol. I wasn’t sure of the tuning though. Thanks !

Most of the 80s hair band stuff is E standard.

Boston - Peace of Mind has great rhythm guitar
Maiden
No Doubt - Just a Girl
TESLA

Lots of great stuff.

I recommend For Whom The Bell Tolls and Enter Sandman by Metallica. Think those where the 2 songs I liked the most learning, Oh and Green Day-American Idiot, very nice to learn and also challenging to get them to play them good. For Whom is fast changing chords, really learned a lot from that one, same as American Idiot, the rhythm was a bit difficult to learn for me (when to upstroke and downstroke). But when you learn it you wont forget

You should give "Someday" by Zebrahead a try!! This was my first song I got down on the old electric guitar and it is indeed fun as hell to play!! Also in E standard tuning. It will really get you working on them hammer on pull off and slides!
