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!  | ||

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. | ||

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! | ||

If u want to impress (non guitar playing) people Chet Atkins / Tommy Emmanuel is a good way to go. Even better is an arrangement of songs that everybody knows, like this version of Daytripper and Lady Madonna: With practice this arrangement is very playable for non guitar gods and will blow peoples minds. Heres a tutorial on the song by Tommy himself: + Show Spoiler + Another beautiful song is "Those Who Wait". I've actually made my gf cry (in a good way ) by playing this song for her on her birthday:Hope this helps Edit: Oh and if you're looking for tabs: http://tommyemmanuel.wordpress.com/gitar-tabok/ | ||

They give the base a bit more volume, you can easily add a bit of strumming to your playing with this, and you have an extra free finger compared to hybrid picking. On the other hand thumb picks have no IQ, so they are indeed retarded | ||

you have 5 fingers normally, thats plenty unless you have to pick a very large chord | ||

Yeah, I have consistently loved and tried to learn so many Tommy Emmanuel songs. Not too great with a thumb pick, which was my main limiting factor. I guess I'll give it another go. | ||

American small towns Johnny Cash - God's gonna cut you down + Show Spoiler + Matt Hughes[?] - Country boy will survive + Show Spoiler + Mark Collie - In time + Show Spoiler + --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Age: 25+ to 40 crowds American pie + Show Spoiler + Animals (cover) - House of the rising sun + Show Spoiler + The Doors - The end + Show Spoiler + Bob Dylan - Like a rolling stone + Show Spoiler + --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those who I bumped into that are into bands such as Metallica, AC/DC, and Black Sabbath seem to really know their shit about old blues rock and genre's related to it. If you play for them, play some Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, or Creedance Clearwater Revival. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A lot of people around 18-25 probably still remember the 90's. So just play some alt rock from that time. Bands such as Third Eye Blind, Green Day etc. Nowadays, it's easy to have a plethora of choice when concerning one specific genre, so a crowd will have so many different tastes. It would be hard to pick an artist now that is known and liked by a crowd. | ||

Everyone always wants to hear that, at least from my experience 3 Doors Down - Here without you Nice picking pattern, sounds awesome Extreme - More than words Girls love it Spanish Romance for some classical music is also great, but hard to play properly on a steel string These are just from the top of my head, if you like them, I'll think of some more | ||

As for Day Tripper/Lady Madonna, it was my first breakthrough in thumb picking! Never managed to get the two melodies/beats synchronized... 30-40 minutes to get two measures, but it's definitely a start! | ||

As for All The Things You Are, love that song, but it's way too hard to play on the acoustic, at least the way I know how to play it.

Never managed to get the two melodies/beats synchronized... 30-40 minutes to get two measures, but it's definitely a start! Gratz on the thumbpicking! And I know what you mean, its really weird for your brain when you start doing it at first. But once you get it down you will never forget it. What i like about this song is that you actually see yourself improve with every 30 minutes you play, and you know that eventually you will be able to play it. Unlike some of the stuff he pulls during live performances of his version of guitar boogie for example.

I love the "meaty" rounder sound in Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton for example. But with songs like Mombasa or even daytripper/lady madonna it doesnt sound as good to me compared to the sound of a (thumb) pick. | ||
