    Hi,

    All of you who play guitar know that it is much harder to play and sing at the same time. I was just wondering what are some of your favorites covers to do that to?

    Heare are some of mine:

    1. Cremation by Lou Reed

    2. Rockin' The Free World by Neil Young

    3. Sugar Mountain by Neil Young

    4. Should I Stay or Should I Go? by The Clash

    5. Tangerine by Led Zeppelin

    6. Nitemare Hippy Girl by Beck

    7. Warm Beer and Cold Women by Tom Waits

    8. Roxanne by The Police

    9. Psycho Killer by The Talking Heads

    10. A Pirate Looks At 40 by Jimmy Buffett

    I am also working on some acoustic Dead Kennedys stuff, because I am weird!

    JK, sounds as if you are quite talented. You also mentioned another family member on a different thread that sounded as if he is a professional musician.

    Do you perform on stage or just play for your own enjoyment?

    r.,

    I primarily play for my personal edification. Occasionally I play for an audience, but I am very insecure about my playing ability. Many of my friends are much better guitarists.

    Eric Clapton is known as "Slow Hand." I should be known as Extremely Slow Hand!

    I prefer to play rhythm guitar to someone else's lead when in public. Always fun to jam like that. I can't play lead for crap.
