What are your favorite songs to play and why?
I'm currently really enjoying playing:
Foo Fighters - Everlong
A few Incubus selections like Mexico, and Drive
Rolling Stones - Angie
Alice In Chains - Nutshell
Nirvana (Bowie) - Man Who Sold The World
Days Of The New - Touch Peel Stand, Shelf In the Room
System Of A Down - Lonely Day and Aerials
I can't sing and play at the same time...but I just love playing these songs as they are not typical rock songs that get boring to play quickly.
I like songs with minor chords and challenging strumming.
I like songs that carry a lot of the overall feel of the song in the music.
Where you don't need the lyrics to know exactly what's going on.
I'm finding the Incubus guitar player likes to use some very complicated and "uncommon" chords that take a long time to get the muscle memory going for me.
So what you guys/girls got?
Care to share?
I love to play & sing the following on acoustic:
Stairway to Heaven (Zepplin)
This Old Guitar (John Denver)
Now and Forever (Richard Marx)
Nutshell, Don't Follow (Alice in Chains)
Open Arms (Journey)
Tears in Heaven (Eric Clapton)
Is There Anybody Out There, Mother, Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd)
The Dance, If Tomorrow Never Comes, Friends in Low Places, Papa's in the Pen (Garth Brooks)
Only God Knows Why, Picture (Kid Rock)
Nothing Else Matters (Metallica)
Margaritaville (Jimmy Buffet)
Lyin' Eyes, Hotel California (Eagles)
Practice strumming & singing first, then move on to finger picking & singing (after you know the finger picking well enough to do it in your sleep).
House of the Rising Sun (first song I ever learned to play)
Foghat Slow Ride (first song with bar chords I ever got the hang of... sorta...)
