Here is my personal list of great songs for playing guitar with. I picked this list based on what I though sounds good with guitar and what plays well solo. So here it goes, this list is in no particular order

1) Wonderwall - Oasis

2) Bartender - Dave Matthews Band

3) Fire and Rain - James Taylor

4) Give A Little Bit - Super Tramp

5) You Were Always on My Mind - Elvis

6) Wonderland - John Mayer

7) Crash Into Me - Again Dave Matthews Band

All Along the Watch Tower - Hendrix

9 Please Don’t Go Girl - New Kids on the Block

10) Haha just kidding about (9) New Kids on the Block = Old Gay Boys

11) Don’t Look Back In Anger - Oasis

12) Knocking On Heaven’s Door - Bob Dylan

Okay I can list a bazillion more.  So at any rate these are artists I grew up around. For me a lot of these songs are great because I can always play them over and over again and not get bored. Not that I am saying that I am an old fogie and only listen to stuff from like before 2000, actually I don’t i listen to a lot of contemporary stuff. But these are good guitar songs that I think never get old. Especially Jimi Hendrix. Is it just me or is he the only artist this century or last 50 years that has the unique sound that he had. I can’t think of anyone who sounds even close to Jimi. Not that there aren’t any great guitarists, there are plenty, it’s more that I think Hendrix really stands out.

These songs and many others are my refuge especially when things are going wrong. you know those weeks were you flunk a class, get fired from your crappy part time job you really hate but really need, and find your girl friend banging one of your buddies all in one week.

So this music is my solice and salvation from jobs from hell, slutty cheating gfs and my bs existence in general.
