All time faves.. .Mr BoJangles and Tenterfield Saddler, you might have to be an Aussie to know that second one. Recently I've been working up a few, Rickie Lee Jones 'Chuck E's..' , Billy Joels 'You're My Home' and a local kid John Farnham, 'Burn For You'.
All good stuff, you can do pretty much anything acoustically if you strip it back. Kristina

just so happens I've been noodling away on few things while I watched a doco about the species we are, on the PC...
noodling away on one of my old songs I wrote 20 yrs ago about the local characters around this valley, on an acoustic which is all I ever had back then,,, though tonight it was on a P90 neck PU on a tele with the volume down half... the old song sounds just as good with the same open chords.... I'll have to work on an electric type bridge to use with it,,, gawd !.. electrics are lazy aren't they?.. ha ha ..... turn it up as soft or loud as you like without picking much harder.. minimal effort..huge amp output just waiting to go.. easy to see why they caught on ... ;)

byrds & beatles lately: turn!, turn!,turn!, eight miles high, if i needed someone, if i fell.
also reaching back to pick up some bluegrass tunes i used to play, slowing them down, and going folk-fingerpick or blues fingerpick, depending on the tune. a LOT of bluegrass tunes are actually blues tunes in form, you just change the beat and move the "pocket". glad to get back into some acoustic, been really busy striving to move forward as an electric lead player, but i'm off this weekend, so i'm gonna just sit on the porch and strum the ole six-string and pick some banjo. plenty of time to get back on the set list stuff next monday night. |

I love all the three-chord easy ones. Lately I've been playing Downtown Train (Tom Waits), Blue Moon of Kentucky, This Land Is Your Land, and Albion (Pete Doherty).
Hope to work my way up to the four-chord songs sometime within the next decade! |
