Never and really NEVER again call Eric Clapton boring.

Normally I wouldn't help people if they called Clapton boring. But you are entitled to an opinion so..... Learn a song called "Ocean" by the John Butler Trio, message if you want another idea

What about Hotel California, by The Eagles?

Black Label Society's Speedball seems perfect for your situation.

I find Eruption always wows the ladies.

Dust in the Wind by Kansas?

Bard Song by Blind Guardian?

A Tout Le Monde by Megadeth?

Foo Fighters Stranger Things Have Happened, simple but awesome song with an equally simple but awsome lead part.

Posted by: Rodnator Mar 22 2008, 08:01 PM

I'm for Kansas "Dust in the wind". Simple Travis picking, open chords, sounds quite complex for such a simple song.

Posted by: Rodnator Mar 22 2008, 08:02 PM

How about Black Crows, "She talks to Angels". Open E simple. Good Luck

You can play maybe Faith No More - Easy, in a nice acoustic arrangment. The solo can be translated to acoustic pretty effectively too.
