Tell me about songs every guitar player should know.

[pyroguy305]

I want to focus on acoustic guitar but some electric is alright. Mainly I want to build up a repertoire of songs that MOST people will know if heard and be able to sing a long. Currently I know very few songs such as this but I have been playing off and on for years. Any really popular (old or newish is fine) songs that are not impossible to play would be great. Thanks!

this [Deleted by Mod. Please don't post this kind of material on the board.] jk, actually just try and learn some zeppelin songs. They aren't too hard. Over the hills and far away is a good one.

Does no one play guitar here? Cmon people, what are some good songs for my collection to know?

[SomeDreamer]

Well when it comes to acustic songs my knowledge is quite limited ^^ And all the songs I could suggest I'm pretty sure most peopel don't know, despite coming from popular bands! But oh well: -Over the hills and far away (led zeppelin= -Sweet child o' mine! (GnR) -Paradise city (GnR) -Mr. Brownstone (GnR) -Don't cry (GnR) -Patience (GnR, pure acustic, well the studio version anyway) -Black Dog (led zeppelin) -Hotel california (Eagles, some nice riffs and chord playings in there) -Back in black! (AC/DC!! ) -You shook me all night long (AC/DC) -War machine (AC/DC) -Young lust (Pink Floyd) -Under the bridge (Red hot chili peppers, most people MUST know this intro!) -Californication (Red hot chili peppers, also very well known intro and easy to get going with) -Can't stop (red hot chili peppers) Most of this is originally eletric... but atleast you got something to pick from now I really tried to pick from songs that atleast should be well known for some... I could suggest more but I'm pretty sure that would narrow down the audience quite a bit when it comes to how well known it is..

Since the guitar is your instrument ... It does kind of depend on your audience though, age group and the general culture of where you are performing. But, a lot of Jimi Hendrix would be easily recognizable, even on accoustic. Maybe some Bo Diddley? Eric Clapton? If you were going to do the Eagles, I'd say that Jackson Browne's version of it has much better guitar play. (I think he co-wrote that song?) Most everyone would recognize Bob Dylan's "Tangled up in blues", but hardly anyone can remember all the words

i'm not sure if you can find a tab of the song but it's called "Solen." this is a fun song to play. not too difficult either. sounds great!

[Creativename]

Hey There Delilah is a song pretty much everyone knows, and it's not that hard to play at all. I only play guitar a little and I learned how to play it.

[pyroguy305]

Thanks guys I got some good ideas from these. Any more would be great too.
