Re: Last 5 songs you've learned??

Do you play guitar with "Barrett's Privateers"? I'd be curious how/what you play. I've always heard it done strictly vocal..

Nice list! I really enjoyed "New Yorks Not My Home" First time I had heard that one... -Pix

Re: Last 5 songs you've learned??

Cool Norm! I like Ray, I play a couple of his myself... "Forever My Friend" and I've dabbled with "Jolene", but haven't sat down and learned it proper yet. I have trouble with some of his vocals, so I havent' gave him much play time.. Love his work though. -Pix

Re: Last 5 songs you've learned??

Still working on these.  I will use a loose interpretation of "learned". 

Duncan - Paul Simon
Tequila Sunrise - Eagles
Grandmother's Feather Bed - John Denver
It's a Great Day to Be Alive - Travis Tritt
Wild Rose of the Mountain - Si Khan (converted to guitar from being a fiddle song, using an entirely different musicality, but the same melody for voice)

Is musicality a word?

Re: Last 5 songs you've learned??

Wouldn't it be great if there was some kind of book where you could look up words and their meanings; something you could leave on your desk and open when needed?
