I've been working on the former for ages!! Stuff I'm working on for Liz and I (my singing partner) is: Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson and Gone, Gone, Gone - both from Raising Sand by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant. Galway Girl - Steve Earle is another I'd like to really nail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewoody Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Mediterranean Breakfast, by Sue Foley--pretty straightforward pentatonic, but tasty all over, acoustic and electric. Almost anything Peter Green (including BMW, Albert John) and always working on Little Wing, Todd, as it is an endless opportunity. I wish I was more talented so things came a little easier.

John Lee Walker Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hey jannus - Yeah, great band. 'She Sang The Red River Valley' is from their 'Live At Stubbs' CD - some nice acoustic numbers on there. I've already worked up 'American Blood' from Bulletproof. Love their version of Alejandro Escovedos 'Castinets'. They have some great acoustic songs that go over great at the coffeehouse open mic night. Check out 'Loving You'...it's hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinNoName Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi ladies and gents... hope you don't mind me putting my two pennyworth in? I'll set the scene first, as my songs probably seem really basic! I've only been playing for a couple o'years, bit of a late developer: Books from Boxes - Maximo Park (UK "indie" I guess) Wichita Lineman - Glenn Campbell Substitute - The Who Want you back - Jackson 5 If you could only see - Tonic And there's more.... I'm probably slightly guilty of the "marmite factor" here (sorry if that makes no sense to many).... I'm spreading myself too thinly I think.......?

maninblack Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Mary and the Soldier from the new Dylan box. The guitar part was easy enough, but remembering all those words in that beautiful, romantic, ancient english. What a breathtaking song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodehopper Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I am working on a few songs right now. My goal is to get up to being able to sing and play and make the two work together. Stranger Blues - This is my version based loosely on versions by Sonny Terry/Brownie McGee and Doc Watson. When ye Go Away - The WaterBoys off Fisherman's Blues LP It's My Lazy Day - Originally recorded by Gene Autry A simple little love song I wrote for my Wife My Creole Bell - Mississippi John Hurt Deep River Blues - Doc Watson I am just starting on this one.

milod Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 ... Well... I'm working on fingering for solo fingerstyle David Rose "The Stripper," going nuts figuring a "classical guitar style" fingering for "Laura," and then a couple of different ways to do "CC Rider." Been doing that latter since the mid 1960s and never happy with it. Still diddling with "You Belong to Me" ("See the pyramids along the Nile") and "Old Cape Cod," both from the 50s basically, and better concepts for guitar only on "Por una cabeza" tango and "Malaguena Salarosa." Guys working on backup or solo work on some Dylan stuff (like "be my baby tonite" may wanna think "ragtime" or kinda an old fashioned "stride piano" sorta bass line. That's easy enough and plain enuf to back a vocal whether flatpicked or fingerstyle. One thing for sure - working at the edge of your head is great to save cash on liquor or movies whether you ever play the stuff in public or not.
