Essential Guitar

[Stiganator]

Let's hear what the forum has to say. Which songs should every muscian know. What are some easy, hard, fun, etc?

Classical Gas - and you must play it on an acoustic. If you can't, don't play guitar.



And a guitar joke:

How do you get a guitarist to stop playing?




Give him sheet music.

Stair way to heaven
Time in a bottle 🙂

 

[StrangerGuy]

Wish You Were Here, which is acoustic.

I didn't mean it that way 😛 I mean...if after becoming what you consider good, you can't play it, then don't bother 😛

I have not heard that one.

Classical Gas I choose because it's not simply strumming out chords. You have to do some finger picking to do it and it takes real talent.

That's the truth...sheet music doesn't translate well to the guitar. Tab is where's it's at!

 

[jaynonymous]

I'll second "Smoke on the Water" and don't forget "Crazy Train"

Being able to improvise w/ 12 bar blues. If you can do that well, you can eat. You won't get rich, but you won't sleep hungry. Or if you're lucky, alone 😱
