Favorite song to play?

[dmatthews]

Today when I sat down with 6 strings, the first thing my hands did was knock out a little Up in Smoke by Blackberry Smoke.

And, today is my last day to handle a guitar for about 7 weeks. Tomorrow is knife to the shoulder day. I can't remember the last time I was unable to play for a stretch longer that 10 days. Fark!!!

All the best mate!

Here’s to a speedy and complete recovery!

Django Reinhardt’s “Manoir de Mes Rêves”

Not an obvious choice, I suppose, but a gorgeous chord melody. One day, I’ll record a version I like

 

[ScottR]

Hmm...I usually just noodle some random blusey stuff...but I have to play the solo from Mother (Pink Floyd not Danzig) on electric. If I grab an acoustic, I immediately go to Wish You Were here also Pink Floyd. Or at least as close as I can get to what either song is supposed to sound like.

 

[GET TO DA CHOPPA]

Johnny b goode, is always one of my favs to play, mostly because Back to the Future movie from when I was a kid and the nostalgia it brings playing it.

Slayer, Angel of death is another one, in particular, the one kick ass riff in the middle of the song.

Billy Squire, Lonely is the night

Metallica The Memory Remains. I Never liked this song when it first came out, but it grew on me over the years, and I play it almost every time I pick up the guitar.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Best of luck Steve. Looking forward to your New Shoulder Day thread!

Safe recovery.

Am having a go at Martin Simpson's arrangement of the traditional song The Cuckoo - sounds simple until you try to get the hammer-ons in the right place.......

I've been there - when I had surgery to correct nerve damage in my fretting hand. Seemed like forever. Here's to a speedy recovery!

 

[El Fenix]

Gimme Shelter, Ramble On, or Train Kept A Rollin

Good luck, Steve, take it slow, but don't worry. We have plenty of brewed stuff ready for you if you might need it.

Godspeed on the recovery, buddy.

Ramble on.... one of my fave Zep songs I love playing that has anyone seen the You Tube vid of Bryan Ewald's cover where he plays all the guitar/bass parts?

 

[ScottR]

Yep. Bryan is a BEAST!!

 

[Coral Sky Music]

I do not know why but for some reason when I pick up a new guitar I always start playing Y&T Mean Streak & Journey Stone In Love...

 

[WA Paul]

Dang, hope the surgery and recovery goes well Steve!
