I'd probably play Down in a Hole or Shame in You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CGord Posted November 6, 2006 Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 I'd start by saying "OK, who here can name a song I can't play?" Someone would call out "[insert song title here]" I'd say "OK, great! Who's got another?" And then I'd say "OK, ok. Let's get serious here. Here's a song by a group called Yes". I'd hit the first two little 12th fret harmonics of the "Roundabout" intro, then say "Thanks, you've been a great audience!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny Powers Posted November 6, 2006 Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 good call on AIC nutshell, great song to play! Dont Follow is a damn good one to play, real crowd pleaser and has some good "flavor" changes. Us and Them - Pink Floyd is a good wan. Be Quiet and Drive (far away) - Deftones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are so beautiful and musical anyways that I don't even think it matters if people don't know the song.Anyways who am I kidding, of course I'd play We Die Young or something.

Members Jasonguitar73 Posted November 6, 2006 Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 I find it odd that some people struggle with acoustic campfire songs. play wish you were here and knocking on heavens door, and everyone will sing along and have a great time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bullhead Posted November 6, 2006 Members Share Posted November 6, 2006 Originally posted by DeathMonkey I don't play acoustic at campfires. In fact, I find it very uncomfortable to play in any situation that wasn't set up as a performance. I guess I have such an aversion to "showing off" (my own interpretation of my own motives, not a judgment), or coming off pretentious that I won't play unless I am performing, rehearsing, recording, or by myself. I guess i just don't want to "inflict" myself and my ego on anyone. i'm of basically the same opinion... which is why i would, out of spite, tune down to A# and play New Millennium Cyanide Christ by Meshuggahm/ m/ m/ m/ m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
