Secret Heart DoctrineONE OK ROCK
It’s a very rock and cool song with a guitar intro, right? The guitar solo and the bass line aren’t that difficult, though.
Just be careful because the tempo is on the faster side.
If you like ONE OK ROCK, I recommend starting by covering this song.
unravelTK from RIN TO SHITE SIGURE
This is the song used as the opening theme for the anime Tokyo Ghoul.
What I especially want you to practice with this track is not so much the playing technique as the use of equipment.
It incorporates so-called spatial effects into the song, such as delay, where the notes you play are repeated.
Mastering your gear will greatly expand the range of your expression.
copy and pasteguddō mōningu amerika
This song was created with human relationships through the internet, such as on social media, as its theme.
Its fast-paced, high-energy groove is addictive.
Four-on-the-floor tracks make it easy to keep the rhythm, so they’re great for beginners.
If you nail the timing of the chorus entrance, you can really capture the song’s sense of unity.
Let’s start a band.wasureranneeyo
It’s included on the 2015 album “Turn Me Into a Dog.” Just like the title says, it’s a song calling out, “Let’s start a band!”—perfect for anyone about to dive into making music.
At the same time, it conveys a heartfelt urgency you wouldn’t expect from a title like that.
BuddhaRADWIMPS
Oshakashama features lots of funky phrases that you wouldn’t have found in RADWIMPS up to that point.
The bass in this song makes extensive use of a technique called “slap.” It’s a flashy, show-stopping skill that’s a hallmark of the bass.
It might be a bit challenging for beginners, but why not take this opportunity to give it a try?
phantom vibrationKyūso Nekokami
This song is interesting for its chiptune-like sounds played on the keyboard.
It’s a track included on the 2013 mini-album “We Are Indies Band!!”.
Although the song structure is unique, each individual phrase is easy to grasp.
With its pop feel, it’s fun just to play along.
In conclusion
This time, we introduced songs from a variety of genres.
From emotional rock to powerful punk rock, the selection is packed with the appeal of music.
As you practice, be mindful of the characteristics and playing points of each part—guitar, bass, and drums—and take your time working through them.
You’re sure to create a wonderful performance.
