Ask SYT!

It took me a little while to figure out how to do this and then to find it all but here it is! I’m not very surprised (I didn’t think Jim Croce would make most listened to song, but other than that it’s not too surprising)

They only count since October though, even though I’ve used this account a majority of the year so I’m not sure what’s up with that, but here it is!

I’ve been putting a lot of time and energy into the band pieces so I haven’t done too much outside of those, but still a few.

My problem has always been starting an easy song and not finishing it, so I’ve been adding layers of difficulty to some of the easier songs on the list too.

It’s not so much learning new songs at this point, just playing new songs.

Guitar (Chords):

* ‘39 (Queen)

* Time to Move on (Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers)

* Yesterday (The Beatles)

* Space Oddity (David Bowie)

* Something Good Coming (Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers)

* Alison (Elvis Costello)

Fingerstyle Guitar:

* Here Comes the Sun (The Beatles)

* Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright (Bob Dylan)

* Somebody to Love (Queen)

* Can’t Help Falling In Love (Elvis Presley)

* Blowing in the Wind (Bob Dylan)

Bass:

* Watching the Detectives (Elvis Costello)

* Killer Queen (Queen)

* Alison (Elvis Costello)

Ukulele:

* Here Comes the Sun (The Beatles)

* Wildflowers (Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers)

Piano:

* Piano Man (Billy Joel)

* Somebody to Love (Queen)

* Imagine (John Lennon)

* Can’t Help Falling In Love (Elvis Presley)

* Your Song (Elton John)

I’m sure there are a bunch that I missed but this list feels pretty accurate, missing the ones I’m working on the most of course (with the band).

Bon Jovi - Your favorite song about love?

“Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley. It’s pretty basic, I know, but it means a lot to me. I played it for my grandparents just before my grandma passed away and it’s a song that has been consistently present in my life.

I also really like “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton which I recorded a first verse and chorus cover of recently for my parents’ anniversary (it was their wedding song).

And then, it’s a little on the sad side for a love song but still, I really like Queen’s “Love of my Life” and playing the fingerstyle part to that.
