I usually warm up playing the bass line from Cake's version of "I Will Survive".

Sleep - Dragonaut, usually just to stretch my fingers.

To actually warm up, just a bunch of improvisation with a drummer/metronome.

when i first pick up a git the first thing I play is some origin riffs, like the aftermath. they get your fingers in a good spot quick

and although most of you dudes arent big on classical, this is my #1 song to get warmed up quick with

The best warm-up song to me is For Whom The Bell Tolls. Simple, but gets the fingers stretched out. :tup:

I can't remember the last time I played other people's songs.

However, I do enjoy jamming along with Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Opeth's Damnation album and funk stuff.

I tend to enjoy drumming along to stoner-ish rock/metal lately. Five Horse Johnson's "Last Men on Earth" is great fun.

i've been playing the new Alice in Chains song, Check My Brain a lot lately. I also love playing SOD's March Of The SOD. So easy, yet heavy as fuck.
