Kinda a big breakthrough today, for me,,I learned behind blue eyes the correct way.. with all the sus chords.. and I got a good part of bargin , which took me to won't get fooled again. And some reason I started down Floyd .. wish you were here,, which led to shine on you crazy diamond.. then Lyle Lovett if I had a boat, and then badge, Layla, my back pages.. I guess I'm getting to know the new acoustic a bit better.. fun stuff

"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere," all three cowboy chords of it.

The tune's five years older than the D18 I'm playing it on.

I heard it last week in a waterfront bar, done by a guy who named himself after a Florida state prison, and if I imagine myself in that small room, 4 small tables, 10 stools at the bar, the stage backdrop covered in the wooden pipes from an old church organ, people drinking draft beer and white russians, doors open to the night air, the back bay waters of the Ten Thousand Islands right off the deck, I can get the rhythm just right.

Big Log. An old tune that I'm surprised I never took a stab at before. Just trying to memorize chords and lyrics for now. Pretty sure it's the only thing I play that requires my fat fingers to form DbMaj7.

I replied early in this thread and just went back and read all the responses since. Great to see all the neat songs people are working on.

Another song I just learned is from a member here - Kego. He had shared a show he and his wife did and I enjoyed it very much. Here's a link to that post:
https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=636559

One song from that set that stuck with me was a cover of "Copper Canteen" by James McMurtry - so I scoured the net and found several versions. The original is done on 12 string and quite frankly I liked Kego's version better. I found another one he did with a buddy on mando and started learning the song based on that performance. Here is that version:


So, thanks again Kego (Keith) for sharing your talents. Because of you I have added a cool song to my repertoire.

Baker Street The challenge was to supply the drama needed to cover the sax part effectively.

I've been working out an arrangement of Imagine, borrowing some ideas from Chet and Tommy.

My latest is Deep River Blues. I've been reinspired by Tommy E and Jason Isbell on this one and am making progress with it. It's sure giving my little finger on my fretting hand a workout.

Great list of song ideas in this thread.

Robert Johnson.. and also If I had possession over,judgment day.. hoochie coochie man, and I shot the sheriff... don't miss my electrics at,all!

I find that at my advanced age (67) I'm better off transcribing a song before I learn it because unless it's real easy and simple I may learn it today and forget all about it tomorrow.

I'm a fingerpicking blues and ragtime player and right now my main project is transcribing Rainer Brunns' original tribute to Chet Atkins called Gentlemans' Rag.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vDv2GXNMoQ&list=PPSV

My motto is "if I can count it I can transcribe it" but sometimes it takes me quite some time to get it right.

I use the full version of TablEdit for the transcription software and I think it's a great way to spend some time. The playback function of the software will tell you if you have it right or not.
