My rendition of Paul McCartney and Wings “Let ‘Em In” which opens with the classic 8-note “door bell” riff. For some reason, those 8 notes took me longer to figure out than the basic chord progression!

The Water is Wide. Blind Blake’s Rag, which is something I picked up off the web somewhere.

I recently finished up a fingerstyle arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody and now I'm working on one of Going to California. This one is interesting for me. I mainly hybrid pick (a habit I picked up playing lead in a country band), but decided to go this one straight up fingerstyle. It's taking longer because I've never tried to play without a pick before, but it's really rewarding because I'm thinking this may open up a whole new world on the acoustic for me. So many times I got frustrated and almost said screw it and went for a pick, but I stuck to my guns and it's (slowly) starting to come together. Last edited by jklotz; 08-09-2020 at 06:53 PM.

This past week I have started learning Lay Lady Lay. For some reason I have been on Bob Dylan kick.

What are the last few songs you learned?
"Have You ever seen the Rain" by John Fogerty and his family, social distancing version. I usually only try to add one song at a time. Sometimes they don't work out. This one did. Nice little walk-down over some chord changes in there. Now I need to fancify the intro, add an outro/coda, and put in an instrumental break. Well at least an intro and an outro for starters. Since this is another resurrected thread, maybe someone should put a few of these recommended (?) songs on an album and call the band 'Lazarus and the Walking Dead'.  Don .

https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...gs+you+learned I hope they don't do the same with this thread; it's great to see all of the song choices in one place.

I'm busking once a week this summer (to fight corona boredom) and i havn't a lot of modern songs and never lissen to radio.
So I googled most played songs 2019. I can't believe how horrible modern music is. I see you guys mention Ed sheeran guitars but when I lissen to "perfect" I can't understand how he is popular. The voice is so monotone??? (a lot of modern singers are). I prefere dylan or Tom Waits anyday. Anyway, among all the **** I choose "Shallow" from a star is born. It is a more traditional song and is easy to do acoustic.

Since gigging in my neck of the woods died out until very recently, I took the time off to work on new material, pushing myself a bit by learning several pieces arranged by the late Michael Johnson that I thought I'd never be able to play.

Old Song but New Song for me.
Quote:
 Latest song that I started playing and singing, "You Belong To Me" by Bob Dylan. I googled the title and watched YouTube videos on this song and realised it's been used in the movie Shrek, which I didn't watch. I recently heard Bob Dylan singing this song (played as background music) while watching a Korean movie. I was drawn to the unique way he was singing it, a little like Kermit the Frog and a little like the Chip-monks. I'm late to the party. You people know this old song right?

Can you you sing it too? Any chance you're in Oregon? It would be a hoot to roll out that tune in an open mic (someday) with another player. In a similar vein, McCartney co-wrote Veronica with Elvis Costello. Another fun one to play. Last edited by tinnitus; 08-19-2020 at 08:36 PM.
