It's that time again, a time when we get together and share our work, talk about performing, talk about practice, ask questions, and see if we can push ourselves to new levels of enjoyment. The most important thing is that we enjoy ourselves.
Some of us play for fun. Some of us are professionals. Some of us play with our friends. Some of us are just learning. Some of us don't even really play at all. It doesn't matter, we want to hear you play as well as you can - or just play.
I don't care if you play a kazoo - I want to hear it and, if history is any guide, the rest of the folks who frequent this thread also want to hear it. So, no matter what you play, come share it with us. If we like the song, we'll sing along when we all get to the chorus!
Grab your guitar and your cell phone - and play us a song. Sing for us! Play a piano. Make electronic music. Play a kazoo, blow a trumpet, bang a xylophone! We don't mind - we want to hear all of it, not just guitar.

Woohoo, it's good night. A Hard Days Night is on TCM so I get to listen to all those great songs, and then when they start acting goofy I mute them and listen here. They just did And I Love Her. The girls may want to listen to that, sounds like something they could do without too much effort.

Beatles were so good. Their songs are so well arranged with the chord progressions. They're so perfect. They had two greatest hits albums. The red one and blue one. I had both of them and wore them out. Then they came out on CD and I just bought the red one. That's the one with the first songs. Man those songs are so well crafted. I never get sick of them. The blue one is the one with all the production like I Am The Walrus, but man I'll take Love Me Do, All My Loving, Girl and all those get-it-done songs over the real good production type like Sgt. Peppers.
Beatles songs are so good for learning guitar and singing along because they're so well crafted.
And I Love Her

Yes sir, I totally agree. Their songwriting was so good and the harmonies were outta sight on those early songs. Such infectious tunes, and just the thing for young guys at the time. The free-love wave had yet to appear and they spoke to us at that time of innocence and young love. That feeling when a girl totally rocked your world and she was all you could think about, but were too shy to even talk to her. Sure they were totally pop commercialism, but Epstein and especially Sir George Martin were geniuses that guided the young kids into music history. Those days are so meaningful, right before the '70's consumed us with drugs and hippies and angst. The last hurrah of good clean innocence.
