I started doing this lately before seing this thread. This week I have learned Sweet Emotion and drop dead legs.
I always get annoyed afterwards as I think I should have learned all these long time ago.

I also get amazed everytime that I struggle with one part before I go to bed. When I wake up the next day I can play it properly.

2 great songs , especially DD legs

Sleep is great for cementing such stuff apparently. Read a book on sleep this summer and being able to ‘crack’ something like a music piece after sleeping on it, when struggling to do so the night before, is very common apparently.

i would like to do this with bass (just got my first  bass about a month ago).

am not musically gifted but have started learning a few tunes that i can play now (not great but can get through the whole songs).

so far i can attempt 

psycho killer talking heads
take 5 dave brubeck band
nutmeg (mtv accoustic version) alice in chains
cannonball the breeders
green onions booker t & mg's
and some parts of joy division tracks

i know to a musician they are easy to play but not being a musician myself (or a gods awful one lol) i am chuffed to be able to play along with them :-)

This must be my problem.  It's not that I suck at guitar it's simply that I don't sleep enough.  I feel much better now.
