This is probably a consistently repeating thread, but it's always fun to know.

right now i'm working on the whole Hello Hurricane album by Switchfoot, but more specifically I'm learning Mess of Me right now.

"The Shadow of Your Smile" -- more or less the Tony Bennett arrangement. Part of my goal to get back to playing "songs" (as we oldsters sometimes call 'em) as opposed to rhythm and lead solos.

(I picked that because it's one of my all time favorites.)

I've had a constant love affair with rearranging Going Home, by Mark Knopfler for the past 6 months. The other one is Paul Simon's Hearts and Bones. That bloke is a walking dictionary of beautifull chords.

Love "Going Home"...amazing tune from one of my most favorite movies of all time. Re-arranging sounds cool...I would love to hear it.

Right now I'm working on "Learning to Fly" by Foo Fighters.

I got a kick of Irish music and decided to learn to play The Blood of Cuchallain

And at the same time I Feel Fine by the Beatles

Re-working a solo for this EP we thought was finished. I have too many ideas. Its like having 700 channels with Sky TV, you don't actually watch anything, you keep flicking to see if there's anything better on and you are never satisfied!!

There is a lot to be said for minimal options! :?

Outside the band stuff I've been working my way through Stones' Beast of Burden and some licks but not whole songs from various Deep Purple favourites.

Mariposa Traicionera by Mana, trying to get better with some of my Spanish guitar sounding licks. Super tight song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzAdKx0K_ag


Also finally learned the chord progression for Stormy Monday and working on some soloing over it and working through Photographs and Memories by Jim Croce. Fingerpicking is my weak point for sure so I am trying to use this song, an old favorite of mine, to improve.

Gettin In The Mood - Brian Setzer
My Lovin Never Gonna Get It - En Vogue - medley with Humpty Dance, Digital Underground

Another medley that starts with My Sharona to We Got The Beat to Come On Feel The Noise to Hey Mickey to ending with My Sharona solo

Also we are learning My Girl - The Temptations

We play a lot of weddings and if they give us enough time we'll learn specific song requests. There are a bunch of them coming up for this spring and summer.

You're 100% right on that one. Back when I was a kid, my parents got 3 TV channels (no cable, no satellite back then) and sometimes only two would be clear enough to watch. Yet I always seemed to find something to watch. Now I have over 100 digital channels and more often than not just turn the tube off after a couple passes through the on screen guide.

With me anyway, it seems to apply to guitars too if I'm not careful. Back when I only had one, I played it all the time. Now that I have many, sometimes I find myself taking longer debating which one to grab than I spend playing it. Ah for the simple life ... !

Philip602- Good choice. Wes Montgomery's version is great. I listen to it all the time.

Niki- Going Home, as in Local Hero, Going Home? Greatest movie no one ever saw.

I'm learning "All You Need" by Matt Schofield.
