So I've recently realized that almost all of the songs I play on the guitar are obscure, and most likely unknown to people who aren't guitarists of similar style, etc. For example, if I said "Andy McKee" 90% of [acoustic] guitarists would know who he is, but I've observed that everyone else would be like "wut?" The majority of the music I play is either that or game music (Chrono Cross <3).

Anyways, so to my point: To add to my "aresenal", what are some good songs that I can play, in which if anyone else hears it, they actually know the song distinctly? The only ones I can think of that I can play are probably Here Comes the Sun, and Wonderwall (which I don't particularly like).

Anyways, list away, and thanks a lot!

"Island In the Sun" by Weezer is very easy to learn. It's only four chords (Em, Am, D, G), although the intro is played on the top three strings, but it's really easy to pick up. On an acoustic, the tune actually sounds really, really beautiful

To be honest wouldn't it be way cooler if you busted out some sick songs no one knew when you played for people? Playing well known songs is stupid if you are only playing them because they are well known and you do not really like them.

I play guitar and (mostly metal) and I don't learn songs I never listen to just because some girl might know it or something.

Girl": Hyy Hypnosis play me a love song!!
Me: ok bizatch
*plays miscarriage by TBDM*'

girl: ahhhhhhhh thats scary

me: i know kekwe its 2 steps lower A harmonic minor hahaaha

girl: why dont you play nice songs

me: NECROPOLIS?

girl: nice songs like friends theme song

me: EVERYTHING WENT BLACK?

girl: barnery theme song

me: god damnit...

*tunes guitar up 2 fucking steps*

SNAP STRINGS SNAPPED

me: goddamnit girl you made me break my strings...you know what that means..

girl: awww ok

*suck*


that's why you play fucking metal

I've always preferred Antoine Dufour to Andy McKee but that's just me

Anyways, transcribe something into guitar. Like "I want it that way" by backstreet boys or "Living on a prayer" by bon jovi, kind of like how this kid did.

To tell the truth, I have no idea. It's tagged "DM", but it appears on DMB album. Even people on Last.fm are scrobbling it to two separate artist sites that both seem to be legitimate.

Same actually, but I think Andy McKee is just more well known, which is why I used him as the example... My current "project" is Ashes in the Sea... From absolutely no tapping or precussion experience, it's, well, let's just say very different.

Do it like Trace Bundy and make Backstreet Boys sound good.

Or learn how to play Money for nothing by Dire Straits, the catchiest riff ever!

1-3 played twice

Not sure what you can play or what typ eof music you like but those are really fun to play. The second one is kind of tricky so i suggest you listen to the song.

Know it, Trace Bundy is awesome, and of course everyone knows Chet Atkins. Having his skill, however... I'll look into it nonetheless.

Ashes to Sea, doesn't he use a baritone guitar to play that? Did you buy the sheet music or find them? Do you mind sharing them w/ me? :D
