Standard Tuning Rhythms

[Alicia Willis]

Hey guys !
So, it’s been a while since I’ve learned any new songs. I’ve mostly been practicing scales and techniques but I need some new fun songs !
I prefer to play rhythm.
I have one song in mind I’m about to start learning (its a secret lol)
But, I wanna know what are your favorite rhythms in standard tuning !
.....and go !

 

[Jesse Salmons]

Eye of the beholder-Metallica off of ...and justice for all. Literally so groovy and heavy, its unreal!

 

[Jesse Salmons]

Pretty much anything from the first 4 albums of metallica are solid rhythm songs! Always useful to brush up on your rhythm chops!

 

[Cedric L]

I don't really listen to many E-Standard songs... The only two songs that come to my mind are Buried Alive [Intro] and Nothing Else Matters .
Oh, and EDEN - Rock and Roll

I think Most Rammstein is in drop D
If Drop D is Not a Problem maybe try Sonne.

Ids recommended me Albert King - Born under a Bad sign. Really easy rhythm Part but very fun to Play If you want Blues.
Metallica - Enter Sandman would be my Suggestion for Metal
I think Heaven Nor Hell by Volbeat is rather easy but I don't remember the Tuning right now

 

[Firsty Lasty]

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

 

[idssdi]

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

 

[Adin Shepherd]

AC/DC - Hells Bells or Highway To Hell, because good ol' Aussie Rock'n'Roll.

Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls, good for practicing your chugging and has some simple little lead fills too.

Alice In Chains - Rooster, mix of modified barre chords, power chords and single note riffs.

 

[Lindsey]

The first songs that pop in mind are songs from Kreator

 

[Edward John]

Most thrash is in standard.

I know du hast is in standard, and im pretty sure engel is as well. But as for most of their stuff i think you’re right about drop D

 

[Nocturne]

I think of Basket Case by Green Day, I love the rhythm of this song.

Those same 4 chords man.

Rooster is half step.down. everything slice in chains is half step. You probably could play it e standard tho. Your hammer.ons will be different thom

 

[Jesse Salmons]

I totally forgot to add some skynyrd in there, they have some pretty legendary rhythm riffs, like working for mca, i aint the one, that smell, saturday night special

 

[Andrew Milner]

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 .
