EuroAussie Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Night Moves is the obvious one that comes to mind. Do you need also some Culture Club suggestions .. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Here's a link to a video of Bob playing a bunch of his songs showing all sorts of angles of him strumming to see him playing. http://softarchi34.com/ebooks_free/24316-hal-leonard-guitar-play-along-vol18-bob-seger-dvd-2009.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Agree EA - Night Moves is a cool tune and pretty easy to play. If you can get the vocal right and remember the words, it's your hit Wily. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RusRob Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I am a big Bob Seger fan and just recently started learning "Ship Of Fools" which is one of my favorite songs by him. These are the bookmarks I saved. Here is the original Here is a pretty good version with a good view of his left hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 It is not upbeat, but we play Shame on the Moon . Great harmonies. Upbeat? Fire down below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I always liked "Like A Rock". But my Dad used to make fun of Chevys when they did the ad years ago. He'd say, "There's a Chevy, sitting there, like a rock....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Against The Wind would translate to a guitar solo/vocal tune just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpicker Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Turn the Page is an easy one to do. Find a friend with a sax. Rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryp58 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Turn the Page is an easy one to do. Find a friend with a sax. Rb That's the one that I play a lot. We do it with just two acoustic guitars. Good harmony on the chorus makes it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Night Moves, Like a Rock, Turn The Page, Shame on The Moon, all great tunes. If I can play Seger's music. anyone can. I find his music to be pretty-straight-forward. The guy can weave a musical story like few others can. Night Moves has got to be about the best-ever "coming of age" song around.....I know the guy is labeled as Rock, but so many of his big hits are easily folk/rock. Great lyrics and great images.

onewilyfool Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Really? two negative points for asking about Bob Segar songs????.....lol....Why don't you anonymous cowards just contact me with the personal message feature of this forum and tell me why you have your panties in a knot??? I'm open to your direct feedback, and perhaps we can come to an understanding??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Two reds for Wiley for asking about Bob Seger tunes, so who's the weirdo in the forum .... ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumblefinger Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 No doubt some wanker who thinks that us mere mortals shouldn't be allowed to do sacrilege upon their raspy voiced heroes. Just check out the flame wars on anyone who does a Tom Waits cover, even Rod Stewart gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 +1 for Wily. Seger is a super performer/artist. Great, great tunes............These folks who hide within the internet and extol their negativity would fit-in more easily with some of the cliques on another guitar forum. He's too often over-looked in discussions on great songwriters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankytele Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I like to play "Still the Same" and "Come to Papa". For "Night Moves" I use a capo at the first fret, and for "Her Strut", I play that one tuned down a half step. I've been on a Segar kick lately since seeing him live last month. Awesome show! I made chord/lyric sheets for "Night Moves" and "Still the Same". I would be happy to email you those files if you wish. Good luck and have fun.

milod Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I'm not a big Seger fan, but he did some material I liked enough to put on my laptop that functions as a music machine at work when others have gone home. Old time rock and roll... against the wind... Seriously, I apparently don't look at great material some artists have used as being unique to them, but simply great material they have done well with and that speaks to me as something I'd like to say in my own way. And apparently I have less against using a 175 for "solo acoustic" material as done by others, or to use a solo acoustic for material others have used with a band. The trick to me is to find good material and to do it well in a way that you are comfortable with. If folks like it, that's great; if not... well, you may be playing it for the wrong crowd and may want to reconsider either the piece or the venue. Some folks can sound just like somebody else either singing or pickin', but I always had enough difficulty tryin' to figure what I was doing with a song inside and getting it outside for a performance. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
