Members GAS Man Posted August 30, 2011 Members Share Posted August 30, 2011 For me: Canon in D (lots of variations, i.e. in the style of) Walk Don't Run Pipeline Still Got The Blues For You (but not as good as GM - but I love that chord progression) You're So Cool (Hans Zimmer) Willow Garden (traditional) Classical GAS Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress Love To Change The World It Don't Come Easy (my most recent obsession) There are more that are in my scant ditty bag, but I think it'd be cool to keep it to 10 or less so we can all get an idea of the typical {censored}e we all play, i.e. the ones we tend to wear in or out like a carpet path in a single wide.

Members GAS Man Posted August 31, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks for the posts so far. I thought this idea would take off with more participation than it's gotten so far. And yeah, by "signature" I meant stuff that your family, friends, audience, whatever, would have them going, "there he/she goes again, playing that tune" So I'll ask again. Ya pick up the guitar, what are the ditties you most likely start playing. Bits and pieces are cool too Doc. I know more of those than full songs fer sher. Like "Hells Bells". The intro is real cool, after that? meh, I'm not sure worried 'bout it. The last "bits and pieces" I remember learning along those lines it the intro to "Wheels In The Sky". (It was in a fairly recent GW mag issue) I got the intro down, thought it was a pretty good accomplishment, then done!. I mean, it's not like I've got Steve Perry standing in the wings for the verses. Come on folks, give it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funk 49 has been on my "mental list" of songs I've thought I should get into learning. JW at his best IMO. And yeah, Just Got Paid Today - I've only learned the sig riff so far but Joe Bonamassa made me do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted August 31, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 Apache I started my lessons back in the early 90s with a lot of surf music. I've got that one around somewhere still transcribed on yellow notebook paper from way back when. I should pull it out again and re-learn it. I recently dipped back into the old transcriptions for Diamond Head. That one is plenty of fun and easier than most.

Members GAS Man Posted August 31, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 sister morphine I've played that one quite a bit over the years too. I like the chord progression. It takes relatively minimal effort, but the progression creates a very dramatic feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jkater Posted August 31, 2011 Members Share Posted August 31, 2011 Robben Ford - Revelation I love that song! I play the (rather fancy) accompaniement and chord progression. You play the solo and improvise over it? Kudos! Cool song. For me it's hard to name songs, I play quite a few and I tend to switch to different favorite songs to play. Usually, when I learn a song, I play it A LOT untill I feel I have it down and then I leave it for a bit, being kinda sick of it... having played it too much for the sake of learning it. But a few are real favorites that I enjoy playing regularily: John Renbourn's Faro's ragWerner Hucks' Night Dive (my child loves it and I play it to her bed when she gos asleep)A bunch of little ragtime tunes that I never knew the names of.A few Pierre Bensusan DADGAD tunesThe entertainerManha do Carnavaletc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
