What do you KEEP playing today???

[Misha III]

I can't quit playing My My, Hey Hey today!

 

And you?

[riffmeister]

Antonio Lauro's "Natalia" (Valse Venezolano No. 3)

 

............it's addictive!!!!

 

.

[daklander]

Reunion....Is a song I play every time I pick up the guitar.

 

Oh, it's written by Jo Carol Pierce & Harry Porter. I first heard it by Jimmie Dale Gilmore and, of course, put my own spin on it.

[Krash]

Joni Mitchell's "Got the Urge for Going".

 

Makes me wish I could still sing.

[totamus]

Georgia on my mind, Hey Hey, and Deep river blues

[Samilyn]

A couple of little instrumentals for 12-string that I composed. I keep making mistakes and can't seem to absolutely nail either one, even though they're my own compositions.

[Fred Fartboski]

 

Joni Mitchell's "Got the Urge for Going".

 

 

Damn, that's a great song! And one that you hardly ever hear.

[drnihili]

John Prine - Hello in there

 

Of course that may be because it's one of only a few songs I can claim to be able to play....

[kwakatak]

Tommy Emmanuel's "The Man With The Green Thumb", "Mombosa" and "Angelina" and a really cool arrangement of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" that has about 5 variations that I can't seem to memorize even after 3 years. I've been getting "jiggy" with all of "Mombosa" and GRYMG and have been meaning to record them but I'm afraid that I'll lose that vibe and it wouldn't do any credit to either song.

[MattSkibaIsGOD]

I played Ewan MacColl's Dirty Old Town a few times today.

[Krash]

 

Damn, that's a great song! And one that you hardly ever hear.

A(2) G6+9 A(2)

I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town

A(2) A G6+9 A(2)

It hovered in a frozen sky and it gobbled summer down

D C

When the sun turns traitor cold

D C E E5addD/B

And all the trees are shivering in a naked row

A G A(2)

I get the urge for going but I never seem to go

 

CHORUS #1:

G D A G D A

And I get the urge for going, when the meadow grass is turning brown

G D A A G A

Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in

 

 

A(2) G6+9 A(2)

I met a girl in summertime, she had summer colored skin

A(2) A G6+9 A(2)

And not another man in town, that darling's heart could win

D C

But when the leaves fell on the ground

D C E E5addD/B

And bully winds come around and pushed them face down in the snow

A G A(2)

She got the urge for goin', and I had to let her go ...CHORUS

 

CHORUS #2:

G D A G D A

She got the urge for going, when the meadow grass was turning brown

G D A A G A

And summertime was falling down, and winter was closing in

 

 

A(2) G6+9 A(2)

Now the warriors of winter, they give a cold triumphant shout

A(2) A G6+9 A(2)

All that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out

D C

See the geese in chevron flight

D C E E5addD/B

Flapping and a-racin' on before the snow

A G A(2)

They got the urge for going, and they've got the wings so they can go

 

CHORUS #3:

G D A G D A

They get the urge for going, when the meadow grass is turning brown

G D A A G A

Summertime is falling down, and winter's closing in ...REPEAT INTRO

 

 

A(2) G6+9 A(2)

I'll ply the fire with kindling, I'll pull the blankets to my chin

A(2) A G6+9 A(2)

I'll lock the vagrant winter out, and I'll bolt my wandering in

D C

I'd like to call back summertime

D C E E5addD/B

And have her stay for just another month or so

A G A(2)

But she's got the urge for going so I guess she'll have to go

 

CHORUS #4:

G D A G D A

She gets the urge for going, when the meadow grass is turning brown

G D A A G A

And all her empire's falling down, and winter's closing in

G D A G D A

And I get the urge for going, when the meadow grass is turning brown

G D A

And summertime is falling down ...REPEAT INTRO

Old Man. Neil.

[rfdias]

For some stupid reason, I have been playing Wild Night, and Long Train Runnin'. Though, I just picked up two Chris Smither song books as an early christmas present to myself and have been working on Happier Blue and No Love Today.

Cheers, Bob

Thanks for that!! I love that song and you're right - it's one seldom heard.

 

Happiest of Holidays to you and yours!

[ESL94]

On my 12 string - Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or alive....dam its like automatic to play this song.

 

6 string - Telsa - Love song and Extreme - More than words

 

They are like my warm up songs....why can't I get out of the 80's?

[Cozmo]

"Via Chicago" by Wilco, "Down About It" by the Lemonheads, and "Big Sur" by Mason Jennings.

[simplygoodmusic]

I cant stop playing this chord progression from a piece frank vignola plays with mark o'connor at the end of their woodsongs. Its a simple little thing that won't leave my head or my fingers for that matter.

[Misha III]

There is another one that I like a lot it's Long cool woman in a black dress by the Hollies...

 

If I ever sing it though, I might change the lyrics a bit... " A long cool man in a black leather jacket..." you know... something like that!

[MePeel]

I've been obsessed with Buddy Flett's "Honky Tonk Key" since Kenny Wayne Sherherd's "Ten Days Out" was released. Another song that I can't leave alone is JT's "Steamroller Blues".

 

Mel

[Glenn F]

Clapton's acoustic version of 'Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out) on my D-15:

Many thanks!

I clocked a lot of guitar playing time this weekend.

 

Yesterday I couldn't stop playing "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones, "In Repair" by John Mayer and "Change the World" by Clapton. I didn't pick up my guitar yet today, but I will have plenty of time over the next 5 days. I don't have to work until Saturday.
