Someday maybe you could try this:


Or this:

[player***]

I'd also recommend the Allman Bros. "Melissa"...the chords are great for acoustic, and you can play the lead parts without a slide. There used to be alot of great tab for this song on the web, but now that all the tab sites are practically gone, it's harder to find the lead parts. It's slow, has some nice string bends, and some nice short licks...plus, it's a great song.

It always helps to remember who your playing for....if it's gonna be the same fans as last time some older music might be what their doctor orders. The group of similar fans I play for once a month down here love the older songs they can relate to and also love Gospel music. One of our favorites and one they love the most is Faded Love. Whatever you choose I know your gonna knock their draw.......er socks off.

CB's been checking out all the video's this afternoon looking for her next song. So far my personal picks are Samba Pa Ti (great call Rocket, I think I might have to work on that one myself) and Sleepwalk (another great call Rocket, I especially like it because I could play the acoustic while CB wails away), with Found Out About You coming in a close third (I love the Gin Blossoms SVL, and CB tells me they just came out with a new album, I thought they were still split up). By the way Kat, Tesla gets the honorable mention in my book, I love that acoustic intro!:

i have to thank all of you very much for all your help [once again!]

your songs have not only inspired me, they've helped me link into other songs...

i only get to play two or three for my recital [he hasn't told me definitively yet, i guess i find out tomorrow, missed my lesson last week] but i have lots of songs written on my 'to learn' list!

[Rocket]

Nice thing about Sleepwalk is that one can strum out the two repetitive rhythm progressions (C/Am/Fm/G), (C/Am/F/G) while the other lays down the easy notes.
Very easy and always a crowd-pleaser!

i'm memorizing the first part of Sleepwalk this week, up to the chorus. [my lessons are only 1/2 hour]

it sounds so darned cool... thanks, Rocket, for that suggestion, i wouldn't have thought of that one on my own...

[aeolian]

Sleepwalk is indeed a great tune to play. It is one of the few cover songs that I actually recorded because I thought there is something I can contribute to the song.
