"Jesu" is easy. "Bumblebee" is too, if you can pick quickly. There are at least three ways to play the half-step core of it, either rising and falling on a single string or toggling between adjacent strings. Paganini's violin caprices are classic for electric guitar, and you'll know everything there is to know about sweep picking if you work through the fifth or sixteenth.

Hint: Vai's "Eugene's Trick Bag" is Paganini's fifth caprice. Flamenco is easy to fake - yippee! "Malaguena" is the first step.

If you're serious about it, you have to learn to read music, of course. I get my students on Bach's "Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin", which is a standard text at Berklee, GIT, Julliard and anywhere else you'd go - for guitar too. Bach wrote them as a combination theory and technique lessons for his violin students. Buy the sheet music book, Eliot Fisk's rendition of them all on CD (2) and Henryk Szeryng's violin versions, and get busy. They're easier than Paganini, by a long shot. But it's hard - many pro violinists still play (some of) them every day, and often re-record them every decade or so because they've dug more meaning out of them. If you start now, in ten years you'll be better at it than someone who waits ten years.... :laughing7: People who complain that reading music is hard are right. So?

One of my favorite music books is the Classical Fake Book V.2 - http://www.amazon.com/Classical-Fake-Book-Second-Books/dp/0793513294/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256049152&sr=8-1
This stuff is all public domain, so you can track it down in tab - Guitar Pro etc. It's easy to learn to read when you already know how the tune sounds though, so the Classical Fake Book has "In the Hall of the Mountain King", "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" and all that.
