hopeful heresy
Letting Go
Smile
Valley Of Flowers
High In The West
Jemez Rolling Waves
After the dust settles
Rheginos And The Ressurection

Any john mayer song..... well the best ones (neon, man on the side, no such thing)

i was thinking of getting into some classical msuic.. as mentioned below

and some of his solso he does with dave

now im at a point where either a song is too easy or just to hard... what do i learn next? i play mostly acosutic btw...

are they any other songs or acosutic guitar playes tat i can get into that make good songs on guitar?

you write your own stuff now. you are already better than 99% of mainstream musicians judging by that list

Love your avatar.

And I'm extremely jealous that you can play all that after only a year and a half.

I am exactly like that too. Go with some Jack Johnson. Most of it is very very easy but really fun. Good stuff to start training your ears with. Try playing the intro to Taylor and Do you Remember.

Classical Gas is a good one to play. It's somewhat challenging but if you know all of the Dave songs it shouldnt be a huge problem but will get your fingers moving.

Neon by John Mayer. Even if you hate John Mayer it is a good song to play.

Jesu, Joy of a Mans Desiring. Pretty much anything by Bach is good and somewhat challenging.

Ode to Joy. Its easy but takes a day to get right. Good song.

Stream by Tim Reynolds. This song is so fun because most of it is just improvistation. So you just memorize the written parts and screw around the rest of the song.

How about posting some clips in the recording sections, I wanna hear your phunkdified!

[KevinGTArch]

Does anyone have a really good tab for Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring specifically in standard tuning with/without capo? All of the one's I've found are really weird and I've been wanting to work on this one for awhile. Thanks!

it goes:

end

This isnt the full version but is the main parts.The rest of the parts are really insignificant and slow the song down when playing on guitar IMO. I have a recording on my site of this version if you want to listen.

I can tell you one thing. You're better than I am and I've played guitar for about 5 years. I never push myself to get any better now though. I'd rather just learn about music itself and then later apply it to guitar, which is what I do

[KevinGTArch]

Thanks so much for that tab, damn I love this song. And I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Bela Fleck laying it over the Last Stop Reprise on that LiveTrax release.

Kyle, that is one BEAUTIFUL recording of that song. Rock on, my friend.
