gigging essentials
    #9933676 -

hey there!
I just finished playing my first "gig" (in quotations because it wasn't payed, but it was not like an open mic or anything either)

We need to learn more songs though!

I was wondering if you guys can help me out with some suggestions for songs that can sound good with just an acoustic guitar and vocals.

We're gonna take a look at some Dylan, obviously.


Anyone else here play gigs (not DJing... not that that's not cool or anything)? I'm sure there must be.

and the funny thing is that the guy I'm playing with is an opera singer, I play guitar and we both sing, or play djembe while he sings.

It's very interesting when we come together, because of his background and the style of songs we're doing. We only had one practice yesterday, first time we played together. And then did the show today.

btw, looking for songs that are well-known and well-liked.

I never learned any songs like that, all the songs i ever learned were either my own, or songs that I liked but were not very popular.

Leran Freebird.

That way when people start yelling it you can just play it and shut them up.

Some artists (and songs) to look into: Ray LaMontagne (Get Me A Buzz, Acre of Land, Sarah); Bob Martin (similar to Dylan, I like 'Frog Dick, South Dakota' and Captain Jesus); some older Tom Waits (Diamonds on my Windshield, Old Shoes (and Picture Postcards)); ya could probably pull off some Dispatch; Tom Petty; Neil Young; Leonard Cohen; most signer songwriter stuff works well acoustic.

Yeah I'll think about it a bit and see if anything else floats to the surface.

oh! I know - I've always wanted to do a cover of CAKE's Palm of Your Hand.
