I think Garron helped write some guitar for Combinations.

honestly, they are pretty easy. i have been learning the guitar in small amounts over the last year and a half to two years and i know how to play:
Come Clean
Over the Mountains
Many Funerals
Sea King
The Winter Song
Taking Control
I Could Be There for You
Just Like We Do
Golly Sandra
The Escaping Song
Go Away
Marvelous Things
Brightly Wound
The Mainframe
and possibly more, i just can't think of them if i can.

however, it probably helps that i have a brother who can correct me and that i can play these songs on the piano, plus many more.


Have you possibly any sheet music? And I envy you for knowing that last song...


i don't, sorry. i can't read the music for guitar, i can just play it.

Where did you get The Mainframe, I've never heard of it? I'd like to listen to it...!


it's actually a stolen song from a group of stolen songs called "The Baby', they're just demos that one of their "friends" swiped off of their computer and posted them onto the internet. no one is actually supposed to have them.

it's kind of a touchy topic, too. that's why i almost didn't put it up on the list.

Yeah, you shouldn't have because now I'm intrigued...I must hear The Mainframe! LOL I'll live if Eisley doesn't want anyone else to hear besides who have already Smile

I'm just starting to learn,also. And it was all because I was so inspired by the Eisley girls.I' starting with Invasion and Many Funerals. I haven't gotten far,though. I'm a slow learner when it comes to musical things. Embarassed

it gets better
when i first started it took me forever to know the chords and make quick chord changes, but give it a few monthes and it'll come easily.

and i loooove playing many funerals.
the chorus is my favorite part.

i have a guitar sitting in my room.
its been there for... 8 years??? 9???
idk. got it for 8th grade graduation.
i have no idea how to play, but would LOVE to learn an Eisley song.
is there any way someone could instruct me over the internet??? haha


i am self-taught (and self-admittedly, not that great) at the guitar basically through the internet. and that was before youtube really took off. now there's a million videos on there where people have tutorials which teach you most any popular song to play. i wouldn't be surprised if there were some eisley ones up there too. if you're on the acoustic, the hardest part is just developing the callouses first, if you can get past that, then it's just practice and between tabs and youtube you should be set

oh yeaaah, the callouses, haha.
that sucked. when i first started playing my fingers hurt so bad then i got blisters then these perpetual callouses and my skin was all peeled and nasty looking, now my skin looks okay but my fingertips on my left hand are definitely a lot tougher then my right hand fingertips.

My first few months of playing I had an instructor, he made me play really easy songs. Well now they are super easy for me...If I tried to play one again I could probably just sight read it and still play pretty well. He also made me stay on the first 3 strings forever!

I did that with a keyboard once. I picked up my dad's keyboard and learned a few songs from the piano book we have. I may try again, or maybe I'll just focus on guitar and violin and wait until I'm older.

First time I sat down with a guitar, a friend had me playing "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica, and it got easier from there. I just never really followed through with wanting to learn it anymore. Don't do what I did though, keep at it, and record yourself playing an Eisley jam for us to sway to.

No, the worst Metallica ever goes to anything (and everything) on Damage Inc., Load, and ReLoad.

Eisley jam + swaying = Happiness.
