What are some traditional Chinese songs for guitar?

What are some good songs to sing and play guitar for?

  • What I'm looking for are songs that aren't incredibly popular, so that I don't have to sing exactly like the original singer. I also like more modern songs, some bands I like and am already learning how to play songs from are crossfade, metallica, rise against, coldplay, tantric, and thrice. I'm just looking for some bands that play rock, have songs that can be played with just a guitar and singer, and are not very well known. I've already gone through my Ipod, and through the Beatles songs

  • Answer:

    Maybe you could cut out the singing and just play the Super Mario Bros game music. 8-) http://www.FuzzyMonkeyTabs.com has videos where the guitar tab lights up while the guitarist plays the tab. It's a great song to know.

Overcome by RX Bandits could be really good, not sure if it's your style though. Here's a vid with the original singer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qRULG8UcH0

Maybe the Acoustic version of "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica or "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" by Nirvana

Depends a lot on what style of guitar you are learning or playing - classical/spanish, electric / finger-pick or plectrum, - this 'box' of ours comes in all shades. If you're new to performing, go for a Leadbelly (Huddie Leadbetter) number - the chord changes are on the beat so you don't have to concentrate too much as you are singing. I think nearly everyone is familiar with "House o of the Rising Sun" and there aren't many of us that do not play the Animals version - and you can either strum or finger-pick - or even a mixture if you feel like. If you're going for your absolute first time and are nervous of the chord changes, an alternative could be any of his 2 chord pieces ( John Hardie and such ) where as a middle instrumental piece you can do some nice bass runs which do sound complicated to the none players in the audience. Have a look at his stuff - you'll be surprised how much is still being performed. Whichever way you go - Good Luck - we've all had to go through that first one - and it does get better with time.
