What is the last song you learned?

[meridian]

While it has never been a favorite of mine, just for a lark I learned "Honey Pie" by The Beatles.

It is a gas to play "I like a this kind of hot kind of music, hot kind of music!" hehe

[UncleShish]

Answering Bell-Ryan Adams

Easy, but fun to play and in my range vocally

[Tom S.]

Countrywide by Tommy Emmanuel. Actually still trying to wrap up the fast multi-pulloff runs. Not sure that is possible for me.

Just finished MOON RIVER from the Pink Guitar CD.
I think it's a great arrangement and it was
reletively easy to learn.

I'm currently working on Mark Hanson's THE SWEETHEART TREE
from the same CD.

LOL! Good thing you put in the lyric, Joe - my first thought was "Wild Honey Pie" (which would be more fun to play then to listen to).

Honey Piiiiiiiie!
Honey Piiiiiiiie!

"Such Great Heights" - Iron and Wine (Postal Service Cover)

I'm sure a couple of you have heard of Sam Beam (Iron and Wine), he's a minmal singer/songwriter who sings in hushed tones and writes absolutely beautiful, simple (yet complex in their own way) songs.

This song is currently featured on the new M&M's commercial and was on the Garden State Soundtrack.

Likewise, just finished MOON RIVER and Juber's "LIQUID AMBER". I agree Moon River is a great arrangement and easy to learn but quite tricky to play. The tempo, as Ed Gerhard suggests, is really slow and I tend to go a little faster as the tune progresses.

I'm currently working on Juber's "Pink Panther" and Doyle's "Changing of the Guards."

I haven't really learned any new songs recently. I've been taking some songs I normally fingerpick and have been working on learning them with a "hybrid" technique. I've been working out the kinks with songs like Here Comes the Sun, Needle and the Damage Done, Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You and some ragtime number my guitar teacher showed me. I'm looking forward to showing him my progress at my lesson this evening.

"Still crazy after all these years" , no, just kidding

Seriously " American tune" by Paul Simon

I LOVE I&W. I have taught myself a few of Sam's tunes (including Such Great Heights). I recommend everyone searching out his album "Our Endless Numbered Days). Great acoustic record!

Yeah its a great album. I'm playing the song in a friend's wedding. If you like Iron and Wine check out Denison Witmer (new album coming out july 26th) http://www.purevolume.com/denisonwitmer

I guess that would depend on what you mean by "learned". Since a big part of what I do is "reworkings" of standards (sometimes drastically) I never really concedrn myself with "playing like the record", opting to take from it what I can use, emotionally and/or musically and , hopefully, hear something new. That said...the latest would be a feedback crazed, growling version of Dylan's "Just Like A Rolling Stone" and a super sweet, jazzy, Coltrane reminicient " Favorite Things".....Yeah, I know...dual personality syndrome...haha

Combining Chords and Melody. "I Can't Stop Loving You" in the spirit of the 1962 hit by Ray Charles. Very Pretty Song.

[Straycat]

Antonio's song by Michael Franks and Harlem Nocturn (jazz standard)

[Big Eric]

"Dry and Dusty" a traditional fiddle tune. Want to work it up for a contest in a few months. Doesn't mean I'll be any good at it, but I've always wanted to try.
