Songs to Learn on the Guitar from Experienced People?
Posted in learn guitar on 20. Aug, 2010
Keep the learn guitar questions coming! I liked this one:
Question: I’ve been playing a little under a year and I have a quite small list of songs that I know how to actually play. Such as, Drive by Incubus, Closing Time by Semisonic, Wonderwall by Oasis, and Couple songs by 3 Doors Down & City and Colour. and I feel a bit behind compared to my friends.
I’ve recently gotten a acoustic so I’m kind of limited to some songs that I would like to play, and I would like to learn more songs.
Any help out there? Also any sites that I could also check out that informs about Scales, Ect.?
(Places that you’ve actually been to, not just google’ing and then posting it saying it seems legit) I know alot of people do that on this site.
Answer: I definately recomend learning stuff from Mason Williams. He wrote Classical Gas, and its an amazing fingerpicking song. Its a good song to practice your fingerpicking not to mention, its a very beautiful song. Um, if you really really absolutely want to amaze crowds and just to be different in your style, I recomend learning ‘Slap Acoustic Guitar’. There are all sorts of amazing guitarists that have this style of guitar, I always get the ‘jaw drop’ effect whenever I play music like that. You should look up ‘Candy Rat Records’ They have amazing artists with beautiful music. Excellent Choice on the acoustic
,
Look up Andy Mckee,
Acoustic stuff by Zakk Wylde is good aswell,
I dont know, Add me
acoustic_36@hotmail.com
and ill give you more recomendations if you like.
That’s a pretty good list you have there. http://www.FuzzyMonkeyTabs.com has some great vids on how to play the Super Mario Bros music and Fur Elise by Beethoven. I like that place. They don’t have anything about scales I don’t think.
