The Boxer is good too, but I haven't learned that yet.

[unccrombie]

alrighty, thanks guys

[darbini]

you can just play it in standard tuning and it sounds really good still. I've actually never played it that tuning anyways, oh well.

Someone has a thread on the musician forums front page asking about Mason Williams' 'Classical Gas', read that thread, I posted a tab for it from www.guitartabs.cc.

[unccrombie]

oh wait, how do i tune to that tuning?

edit: nevermind :)

[ITakeTwoSteps]

Blackbird - The Beatles.

Leran this after you learn the others. :)

[unccrombie]

i've actually tried to play blackbird, quit after awile, of course that was 4 months ago

That's an excellent one.Easy,same picking pattern. I just learned it a few weeks ago.

[nklcreek41]

Moonlight Sonata 1st Movement Beethoven

Got some slightly odd stretches but it's slow and has a basic right hand pattern.

[unccrombie]

that would seem rather complex, musically, is it? and do you have a good link for a tab?

[nklcreek41]

It's pretty cool, I have sheet music for it, not sure about where to find a tab, as I hate reading internet tabs. Musically complex, well it's beethoven, but it's fairly simple in terms of arrangement, lots of great chords you won't find in guitar tunes, since it was written for piano (hence the stretches).

[unccrombie]

yeah, internet tabs...very inconsistant to say the least, if you come across anything let me know. i have no clue where to start

[unccrombie]

yeah, i was looking at the tab, i'll probably take it into the music teacher at school

[stratocoustic05]

John Mayer "Neon"
don't get much easier than that

John Mayer "Neon"

thats more slapped then finger picked. and i wouldn't suggest learning that first. you need to use you thumbs for the bass notes!

Nothing Else Matters by Metallica

December by Collective Soul

John Mayer "Neon"

Maybe I just suck, but I don't think "Neon" is easy at all, at least not compared to Dust in the Wind or Blackbird.

Ben Harper "Forever" might be a good idea also.

Led Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" would be good, although more of a challenge I think.

Those four should get you off well. Look up some Travis Style fingerpicking methods, that's a cool skill to have down as a guitarist.

And yeah, don't touch Neon. Not yet at least.

Or maybe I'm just an idiot.

I believe he was joking. I think....

Don't listen to that :D Bloody hard song... the tuning's even difficult without his crazy guitar.

[mgeorge]

yeah, i think you're right. let's hope so at least.

[unccrombie]

way to top an 8 month old thread...way to be...

:eek:

[YknSTONE]

haha...

Neon's not hard to tune too it's in Drop C.

I would try Clampton's "Tears in heaven" it's a good Fingerpicking tune.

Classical Gas (Williams) (http://www.olga.net/dynamic/browse.php?printer=0&local=main/w/williams_mason/classical_gas.tab)
Opus 35, No. 1 in C Major (Sor) (http://alt.venus.co.uk/weed/music/classtab/fs35_01_.txt)

[bigeyedharper]

Where did you find the tab in standard tuning? I am too lazy to tune to that. Please tell me, I love that song soooo much.
