When I look at the list of songs I'm playing and singing (such as it is) a lot these days, there are a few I've been playing as long as I can remember.

Coming into Los Angeles
Sweet Virginia
Dear Doctor (I can actually almost pull off a goofy vocal on this one)
Wild Horses
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Loser (the Dead)
I Know You Rider
Willin
And it Stoned Me
Angel From Montgomery
Little Wing & Hey Joe (mostly electric)

And almost anything by Neil Young, pre-1980

-Ray

All Along the Watchtower. Simple repeating pattern than can be varied in many ways and accepts unusual time and syncopations, not too many words to remember, but a song that relates to many situations.

In an Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel.
I can't even sing it, but the 50's chord progression in G, played with the capo in a different position every time ("Where will we try it today?'), is one of my warm-up songs.

i don't play covers normally so it would probably be two or three of my own songs.

i did have a friend over the other day who was playing "ruby baby" and "summertime," so it was fun playing those with him.

play music!

Over the years, I have never tired of playing
  • Behind Blue Eyes
  • Won't Get Fooled Again
  • Substitute
  • Thick As a Brick
  • Norwegian Wood
Lately I am on a Kinks jag, have been playing
  • Lola
  • Waterloo Sunset
  • Celluloid Heroes
  • Sunny Afternoon
Many Kinks songs are great strummers.

I play this one as well! It was one of the first songs I learned when I came back to guitar 2 years ago after a dark period in my life.
