Since we like some of the same music, I'd love any suggestions you have for other easy songs that are fun to play.


Here are some songs that I find myself playing here and there:

Weezer - Mykel and Carli

The Shins - So Says I

Billy Bragg - Jailcell Blues (from Memaid Avenue)

Silver Jews - Random Rules

Silver Jews - The Wild Kindness (and a few others by them)

Radiohead - Lucky

Hank Williams - Lovesick Blues

Willie Nelson - Redheaded Stranger

Johnny Cash - I guess things happen that way

-------------------

Here are some harder ones that are fun, but I've added them for completion:

-------------------

Pixies - Caribou

Radiohead - Street Spirit

Beatles - Blackbird

Modest Mouse - Styrofoam boots/it's all nice on ice

And what got me good at fingerstyle guitar was my brief obsession with Elliott Smith's music. Like, I've memorized how to play about 10 of them. (Primarily Say Yes, Waltz #2, and Angeles...)

Okay, I think that just about does it. I've given away my entire internal mental state of my twenties.

Good luck with your guitar practice!


Thanks for taking the time to write this out.


Sure! It was a nice walk down memory lane.
