Suggestions for New Song to Learn?
Hi all. I've run dry on finding something new to learn. I'm looking for songs that sound good fingerpicking without singing but do have lyrics. I love the old time stuff (Ms. John Hurt, Rev. G. Davis etc.) and it's hard to find songs that are interesting on just the guitar and don't all sound the same.
Here are the songs I love to play (just to give you a better idea of what I like). I'd be happy to share my tabs with anyone interested: Stagger Lee - Mississippi J. Hurt and Taj Mahal versions Fishin' Blues - Taj Mahal Sittin' On Top of the World - Doc Watson Coffee Blues - M.J.H. One Dime Blues - Etta Baker Dayton Ohio 1903 - Randy Newman Angel From Montgomery - John Prine Hesitation Blues - Rev. Gary Davis Deliah - David Bromberg 'Lectric Chair Blues - David Bromberg and of course Freight Train - E. Cotton Any ideas? Thanks, Mike

Well I jump at any opportunity to champion the music of Dave Evans In terms of interesting instrumentals he's the uncrowned king, in my opinion. Some of the tunes have a very bluesy feel whilst others have a celtic tinge, and many are obscure fusions between different genres. Some don't even seem to adhere to a genre I would recognise. Listen to "Insanity Rag", "Steppenwolf" and "Grey Hills" on the Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/daveevansguitarist Or for one of his trickiest tunes, watch this clip of him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqTLkgImAdU I have a couple tabs, if interested - All of them are available on Stefan Grossman's website I believe. This stuff has kept me entertained and challenged beyond my wildest dreams for a couple years now. Sean
