So you're at a wedding, the bride (beautiful) drags you by the hand into a room where a bunch of people are sitting around listening to bods play the guitar. A yamaha accoustic is thrust into your hands with the call of 'You play the guitar Matt'. But the groom and some musically talented guy are already sat down playing Crowded House, about 100 million miles away from anything you actually know how to play ...
... what tune do you crank out?
P.S. there is a video camera, your wife is watching and you have drank 9 pints :)
-
Back in Black?
-
Trumpet Voluntary by Jeremiah Clarke = that's a wedding tune and its grade 2 guitar :D
-
Closer to hunter here ... I did Sin City and then some Albert King Blues scale :)
And then left as everyone looked confused. As I got a taxi home, they was doing doing Briteney Spears. Which was ironic on the TV that time some guy did it but now is just Briteney Spears. Do I sound bitter? If only that guitar had been amplified ....

cannibal corpse?
-
Canibal Corspe. Lol.
Various Sepultra tunes passed through my mind, as did some RATM. But its hard to get the full effect on an Accoustic :) Someone listening shouted 'Metallica', but when I played some pre black album stuff they didn't recoginise it. Kids eh :)

sorry, i got nothing of value to contribute.
how about the cliche.. billy idol - white wedding?
-
highway to hell? after all isnt that what marrage is?
-
I only (perhaps for the better) thought of Billy the next day :)
But I wish I'd done Killing in the Name Of. Or even Bombtrack as that one kind of sneaks up on you a bit more :)
Or even, as they were singing too, something by Sisters of Mercy ... say Temple of Love: "Life is short and love is always over in the morning" :)
-
On a DC theme, I did start 'Girls Got Rythmn', but the wife give us a black look :roll:
-
Roy Orbison.

It's off-topic but yes.
And I don't want to post them until they are installed so I can put them into my computer in one session.

Sweeet :)

haha when my gran asked me to play something to her, i played her Master of Puppets :D
and once, i played her raining blood. good thing there was no lyrics (just me playing), because she is Christian!

:D
-
V nice. I wish ...
They would prbly still have looked at me blankly though as it wasn't Crowded House or Savage Garden :) Although saying that the simple Blues scale solo I played got me applause. I think there was a style clash at work - everyone else was into slow but complex hand stretching chords, I play fast up and down the fretboard but mainly only with two fingers :)
-
Billy Idols White Wedding! :twisted:
No, with an accoustic probably 'You Shook Me All Night Long' wich is really great on accoustic. Then some old time rock n' roll stuff mostly from Elvis' Sun period.
-
Learn some Crowded House yourself-or confuse em with a Neil Finn song-plenty of great ones to choose from. One that I knock out in those situations is The Rolling Stones "Wild Horses".
-
Wild horses ... sweet. In fact, i'm trying to learn some more accoustic stuff and I think I shall start with that! :)
Now all I need is another wedding where there are a bunch of guitars lying about ... hmmm ... :?:
