Northern Wish Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Criteria:Easier ones sticking to major chords (ie. ones that I can play).Capo tunes are more than welcomed.Stuff my old man might enjoy - he likes outlaw country or classic rock stuff.________________________________________________Just grabbed:George Jones- If Drinkin Don't Kill MeWillie Nelson- Grow up to be CowboysWild Horses- Stones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Cajun Moon - JJ CaleIllegal Smile - John Prine While these are both fantastic songs, I suppose I should add a 4 to the criteria:Mainstream songs that my Top 40 Mom might also recognize from 30+ years of listening to CHUM FM.All great so far- those other 2 will be welcomed additions to my own collection.

bouche Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 When I was first learning guitar in a group class, grade 6, '82-83ish, I remember having to learn this song. Pick a Bale of Cotton. 3 chords. Even then the repetitive "pick a bale a pick a bale a pick a bale a...." was annoying. Easy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Love Like This - DBT I've posted this a few times before, but in case you didn't get it here's the words and chords (easy tab) for every Dylan album - up to Modern Times anyway. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=200UKHR4 I also grab some stuff (DBT/Gourds) from here >> http://www.countrytabs.com/ Best bet is create an account.

SaggyBalls Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I think that the reams of songs you already have printed out are a great start.Your songlist is pretty robust and good times for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I think a capo's in order for at least a couple of these.
