I've decided that getting the strumming right while attempting to sing Southern Cross by Crosby Stills and Nash is one of the hardest attempts at coordination ever. It's a simple pattern, but the words don't come easy while strumming.

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd. Great tune.

I found Wish You Were Here hard to sing with, strumming correctly. There's a line in that last verse that threw me for weeks. Few songs give me problems doing both at once, but that one did.

You know what? When I learned it 20 years ago (when I was just starting to play/sing at the same time), it also gave me issues.

Hi I only play the opening two verses then that cool acoustic bit with no words thats all as I think when you learn a verse its the same regardless of the words, is that right musically speaking? it must be are the words tricky on last part??

Pretty much everything from: The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, some Eric Clapton...
