Guitar players: You're favorite song to play?

[phillybri]

I love, love, love playing any early Ozzy Osbourne. "Mr. Crowley" would probably be my absolute favorite.

What about you guys?

[XNASA]

1. Possibly...."See Me, Feel Me"

There are a few Radiohead songs that are a lot of fun to play, like "The Bends".

And I guess I'll throw in "Divine Intervention" by Matthew Sweet.

[vi5]

2. Any Sabbath is good...Slack Motherf*cker by Superchunk...

Anything with a solid riff, repeated ad nauseum.

[arcane1]

3. hmm.. tough call, I've forgotten most of them!

:silly:

I get a kick right now out of Dream Theater's "The Silent Man" and Fates Warning's "Exodus"

[tridim]

4. 'Blackbird' and 'Over The Hills and Far Away'

and pretty much every Beck song from Mutations and Sea Change.

[ET Awful]

5. Ripple - the Grateful Dead (acoustic only please). n/t

[Mr.Green93]

6. wildwood flower

well, it is the only one I know

[shaolinmonkey]

7. Man In The Box - Alice In Chains

Either that or Rock 'n Roll by Zep.

God I miss the 90's. And not only for the grunge.

BTW, Slack Motherf*cker...also a good call!

[phillybri]

14. "Got Me Wrong" is a fun one by AIC...

Good times...

[Dudley_DUright]

8. Lately it has been "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers

but I am also mighty partial to SRV's "The Sky is Crying".

[stellanoir]

9. anyone who can play. . .

"Riveira Paradise" by Stevie Ray Vaughan has my heart eternally

[Dudley_DUright]

28. Depends on what you mean by play

I can approximate all of SRV's songs, but to play them with the skill and passion that he did, I hope I live so long.

[johnnie]

10. Most of what I play these days..

..I play a lot of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Dylan...folky/country western stuff. Thats what I enjoy these days and I don't play many of those songs with more than 4 chords.
I guess I would have to say...Mama tried, Cry Cry Cry and Some of Shelley's blues (Nesmith) are the ones that I have been having fun playing and singing lately.

[Colin Ex]

11. I don't play guitar BUT

if I did and I were good, my favourite song to play would be "Carry the Zero" by Built to Spill.

-C

[Whitacre D_WI]

12. 4'33" by John Cage.

I am a minimalist.

[Redleg]

18. The quintessential minimalist piece- and very demanding to play!

LOL!

[tigereye]

30. c'mon now

I bet you can play more than that on your wonderful new geetar!

I only play songs I wrote on guitar. There are always too many guitar players, that's why I'm a drummer.


ps I did start my own thread, several of them so there! ;)

[Whitacre D_WI]

42. Woo-hoo!

I didn't see them, though. :(

I woulda replied!

[tigereye]

43. one was about how desperately I needed a drink

after going to see the Pirates (lose) with my kid's school. Middle schoolers screamed incessantly behind us until my head was splitting and I was climbed over about 500 times! Otherwise it was a beautiful day and fun. YOu don't have kids, do you? You are pretty young yet, no? I waited until I was out of grad school. They are wonderful, but a bit of work. And you can expose them to cool music!

Our Pirates are in sad shape. But they did beat your Reds one day last week! Well, once. :)

[Whitacre D_WI]

45. Of course, the lowly Brewers just spent a few days kicking the crap...

...out of my Reds. :(

[dbt]

13. "Uncle Pen" is a great acoustic guitar tune (key of G, please)

If it's an electric, I favor "Born On The Bayou" by CCR or "The Spy" from The Doors. And someday I will figure out the lead part to "Mr. Soul!"

:smoke:
dbt

[ComerPerro]

46. Bathtub Gin - Phish

[regularguy]

15. Lately I can't stop playing "10 years gone" by Led Zep.

After ignoring them for a good 25 years or so I'm suprised how much I still like a lot of their stuff.....

[ZoCrowes]

16. Lately it's been Blue Sky

by the Allman Bros. E major is one of my favorite keys and I love Dickey Betts's style. Only wish I had another guitarist to trade off on and harmonize with on that one. Sometimes it sucks being in a 3 peice.

[Redleg]

17. "Who are You?" By you know Who.

I especially love the acoustic solo part- damned hard to play but when it works, it works!

Second favorite has to be Kenny Burrell's "Chitlins con Carne." Smooth, especially on my Les Paul.

[Fenris]

19. "The Draize Train" by the Smiths

[robertpaulsen]

20. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

by the man in the avatar!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

21. "Yoyager" by Gamma (Ronnie Montrose)

...considered one of the most talented guitar players and difficult human beings on the planet.

I always loved the album cover too:



He did a Gamma reunion album in 2000 and has released nothing since.

[chaska]

34. Great album, as is its predecessor. eom

[Bertha Venation]

22. since my skills are limited, I like to play mostly songs I can sing to

"Dark Chocolate" is probably my fave among those; then there's "Quarter Moon" and "Regretting What I Said." The only songs that I don't sing to and I play very well -- well enough not to embarrass myself in a small gathering -- are "Double Eagle" and "Blackbird."

[LastKnight]

23. "Bulls on Parade" by RATM and 'over the hills and far away' by LZ nt

[mitchum]

24. "For Shame Of Doing Wrong"...

followed by "Personality Crisis" (for trashy teenage kicks fix)
and always... "Knocking On Heaven's Door" turned up to Crazy Horse volume is very fun to play (but it becomes very tedious to listen to anyone else do the same)

[Something Blue]

25. Lately

Hole-Hearted - Extreme

Goodbye Blue Sky - Pink Floyd

Deep River Blues - Doc Watson

Mr. Jones & Me - Counting Crows

[Beaverhausen]

26. Well, since I'm a HUGE Joni fan...

Its gotta be one of hers...lets see...

Big Yellow Taxi is easy but

Amelia is so beautiful I have to go with that one.

[furrylitldevil]

27. It's cheesy, but Hotel California

When I'm just strummin' my acoustic

[Dudley_DUright]

29. Not that cheesy

I play that one a lot on my acoustic as well.

[kixot]

31. Assorted Beatles:

Rocky Racoon, Cry Baby Cry, A Day in the Life, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Julia, Across the Universe, Eleanor Rigby, Norweigian Wood, From Me to You, Girl, Here There and Everywhere, If I Fell, In My Life, Nowhere Man, Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, She's Leaving Home

Also - Saying Together for the Kids, Adam's Song, and I'm Sorry by Blink 182

[Zorra]

32. SRV - The Worst Place I've Ever Been.

Heartbreaker and Babe I'm Gonna Leave You by Zep, The Reaper by BOC, Crazy Train by Ozzie, Enter Sandman by Metallica, Radar Love by Golden Earring, Freebird by Skynyrd, La Grange by ZZ Top, Somebody To Love by Jefferson Airplane, Couldn't Stand The Weather and any songs by SRV are also fun.

These tunes are a blast if you have a tight band that can pull them off effectively.

[maxwall]

33. "Pretty Mary K" - Elliott Smith

Just lovely...

[arwalden]

35. Annie's Song

[andino]

36. Killing in the Name

Rage Against the Machine

But only when I am pissed....

[MichaelHarris]

37. Blackbird or

Norwegian Wood, anything else for me is hard because of my vienna sausage-like fingers.

[VOX]

38. "Grown So Ugly" by Robert Pete Williams...

also lately, I get a huge kick of Johnny Cash's last original song, "The Man Comes Around."

[Bonhomme Richard]

39. Tough one but I like Amie-Pure Praire League.................

Love playing the tune especially if the background vocals and guitar are right. The little acoustic leads are a lot of fun and the slow clean opening during Falling in and out of Love(Album version) at the beginning.
Another two, China grove and Suite Judy Blue Eyes (open tuning)

[Bonhomme Richard]

41. Oh Yeah, slide on Rocky Mountain Way.

Especially playing it at a gig. Nobody expects it.

[Misunderestimator]

40. Stairway to Heaven

HA... Just Kidding!! I'm not a guitar player. :)

[ProfessorGAC]

44. On Electric: Cool #9 On Acoustic: Blackbird

There's lots more, but those are the "show off" songs.
The Professor

[phillybri]

48. Satch, niiiiice...

The whole "Extremist" Album is fun to play...

[toddzilla]

47. little wing
