Hallo GMCers. I have a question... My brother is getting married in two month and I thought to play a great wedding song for him as a present... Have anybody an idea what for a song I can play, or have anybody wrote a wonderful song?
Thanks

You could try Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. It seems like it might work with just one guy doing guitar and vocals.

Steve Vai, Passion & Warfare... song: Liberty....
is the perfect song, take a look!

I believe in a thing called love! At least the title is good for a wedding ;D

What about Gary Moore Classics? Still got the blues, Parisienne Walkways...or Vai's For the love of God...Not that easy though to play it well..as I dont know which level you are...

Maybe the house of the rising sun would be fun if he can take a joke. Going from freedom, gambling and women to get locked up for life

Anyway, a couple cheesy acoustic "Wonderful tonight", "Careless whisper", "You are so beautiful" and I have a couple favourites in my sig below


or ..unchain my heart baby let me go


Are you doing it acoustic or with MIDI backing?

I would choose something easy and effective, like Canon in D

Beatles 'I want to hold your hand' It is easy to play and fun. Everybody knows, they can sing, too.

Thanks guys!!! These are very nice songs, espacially the one from you Lian G. and chmilew, they are wonderful. I will look for the tabs
My level on the electrical guitar is 5-6 I would say, so I can`t play For the love of god... I don´t want to sing there, only an instrumental song, like the two or Nocturnal Vision from Kristofer Dahl and Marcus Lavendell.
Thanks very much!!!

Most weddings tend to have a wide age range so you need to take that in to account. I'd go for something moderately slow and classic that most people would recognise (if not always know) and not be offended by.

Righteous Brothers 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-idDbIfGvw' fits the bill in my mind.

If 'Unchained' is too gushy then:

Lou Reed's 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_WEvqxxQiU (and we'll gloss over what the song is actually about).

Cheers,
Tony

Hi Patrik! Thats a nice song an a nice idea with the backtrack... Could you send me the Backtrack or a complete version with your playing? I`m very interested to hear it!

Canon in D is very appropriate for a wedding. Used it at mine and I love that song. There are a lot of versions on this site by our talented instructors that might be helpful. Good luck.
