Hey Willem,

I agree that Beatles songs are always good. I've been thinking about revisiting "Blackbird."

Jay,

Thanks for the suggestion as well. If it's on the site, I'll take a look at it.

Some of my Favorites....

Blackbird
Ripple
Friend of the Devil
Nobody Knows You
Homeward Bound
The Boxer
April Come She Will
Catch the Wind
Colours
59th Street Bridge Song
The Wind - Cat Stevens
Sweet Pea - Amos Lee

Great Jamming songs with a group

You Ain't Going Nowhere -Dylan
I Shall Be Released -Dylan
Can't You See - Marshall Tucker
Wild Horses -Stones

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Some of these I hadn't thought of and a couple of them I don't know. Little by little I want to go through all of them and decide which ones offer which essential techniques. I'm off in new directions this year.

Neil Young Like A Hurricane

great lesson for picking out melody notes within a progression!

I just watched the lesson and I like all the different parts. I've never been a huge Niel Young fan, but I could warm up to this one.

Great suggestions on this thread!
I have a short list:

1) Songs You Like!

Sounds like a winner to me.

I would agree. However, I was thinking since most of us are not working one on one with a teacher, that it would be helpful to have a list of songs that address specific, essential skills. Also, since the site is being updated, maybe it would be possible to have some type of indication that certain songs, aside from levels, are essential for particular skills.

Hi there Peeps

I have dug out the list that was published in the early days
It is on the forum somewhere but too hard to find,
So I'll type it out for you

Suzie Q
Who'll stop the rain

Level 4

Comfortably numb
Down by the River
Dust in the wind

You've got to hide your love away
