I don't think you can lose with 2 of these songs. I lived in eastern Tennessee for a while, and attended a few bluegrass festivals there. Nearly every band did Fox on The Run and Rocky Top, and over and over the audience would become all sentimental each time these were played. Never mind that I heard them each nearly a dozen times that day.Some of the songs are:
Fox On The Run
Wrangle Mountain Song
Early Morning Rain
Rocky Top
Blueridge Mountain Home
Colleen Malone

It is a lot of fun taking a song and arranging it to fit.

We do these in Bluegrass style with some great harmonies.
I'm sorry to say that I cannot perform unless I have the music sheets with chords right in front of me. I've come to admit that this is the only way it will ever work for me on guitar.Same problem here. I sit in the hot tub every morning and run lyrics and patterns through my head.
Ravon said:I can bore myself learning others songs so I've been writing more of my own songs, mostly incomplete chord changes and single line melodies and hooks. I use alot of 7th, 13th and 9th chords in my writing so it ends up having a jazz/ blues flavor. But to be honest, I wish I had some help to complete some of my ideas. I've got some great chord progressions and hooks but I just get stuck trying to complete a song. I've gone so far as to put up local C/L and music store ads for a collaborative effort but no one seems to be interested. I guess its kinda weird for people in this area for someone who would want to do that. Only thing I can figure out :? :lol:

Taylor Martin Guild said:I also am finding it difficult to memorize new songs.
I have to have my total focus on what I'm doing.
I memorize one verse at a time and then move to the next one.
I have to do this over and over until I can remember the lyrics.
By the time I have it memorized, I sometimes no longer enjoy the song.
I'm also having some problems remembering the lyrics to songs that I have played for years.
This getting old crap stinks!
