I was basically using C chord, F chord, G chord, C (high), G (low), Fm and Gm on keyboard, waiting for my yamaha PSR-E313 piano to arrive, will then post more songs, the one im using right now is a simple 49 key piano.

@Hashims: yeah the printer is HP Deskjet D2360

@doc: what do u mean? if u feel any mistakes in there do let me know!

Timing between you and your guitarist was a bit off. Please don't take it personally.
Your guitarist seemed to be having a hard time.

Just a bit more practice needed!

ya i know! we just started! it was the first time i played with him, as i am used to different songs like Yanni and KennyG, that is why he had a hard time keeping up with me, although he plays other songs quite nicely! and as i said all comments are welcome whether they are suggestions, or anything, so doc no need to say "DONT TAKE IT PERSONALLY"! i dont mind anything! will learn from the mistakes that i made in past and will correct them.

hmmmmmmm! LOL @same printer! hey my friend Ali also did a guitar solo on stairway to heaven, if u want t see that go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1tVgVXu9WY

Don't know what level you're at but have you tried playing 'Fur Elise" or "Moonlight Sonata". Were talking Beethoven now. Takes some skill.

Hey once again don't mind but your friend was playing the intro of Stairway to Heaven. As musicians i just think we should use the proper terminology.
Yes he's playing a guitar and yes hes playing solo, but it just isn't a guitar solo.

oh i didnt notice that! ya he's playing the intro, but im not into the intro thingies, i play full songs, i will try beeothoven, right now doing yanni (which is damn hard but fun), kennyG (very relaxing), elvis presley, bryan adams, U2 and the Apologize by Onerepublic

If you really want to improve then keep the MTV music to a minimum.
Start listening to and working on jazz.
