RLMay57 - I'm going to move your message to the "About Chordie" forum, because I think you're more likely to get a useful answer there.  I'll leave a redirect so that you'll be able to find it.

Also Creep.

It appears that I don't remember the 90's much better than I remember the 80's, but for entirely different reasons.

Mr. Jones by Counting Crows is good.

Santa Monica by Everclear is good.

Song Country-ish songs from the 90's that I liked.

Don't Rock the Jukebox by Alan Jackson

Should've Been a Cowboy by Toby Keith

Love Without End, Amen by King George (George Straight)

Here's a Quarter, Call Someone Who Cares by Travis Tritt

Edit: I struck a song suggestion because I watched Darrell Scott play it, and it is simply not attainable to me in this lifetime.  Maybe if I had two or three lifetimes to spare, I might get it eventually.  But...maybe not.

You always bring a new perspective and rhythm to songs I would never otherwise consider.  Very nice.

Jandle - I'm still learning Jack and Diane.  It uses some chord shapes that I'm not familiar with and my fingers are slow learners.  Once I get that, getting the strumming rhythm that's contrapuntal to singing with the verse and chorus each being similar but not quite the same will be the next challenge.  It's going to be a new threshold song for me, I think.  I'm having to learn quite a bit about muting, chord shapes, alternate chords, embellishments, etc. to make it work.  Which makes it a really great choice for CFSOTM.  However, like Ripple was late, I think my April song will be performed some while after April has ended.

Welcome back.  Topdown and I were chatting about you and those cool songs you wrote about your friend when we got together at his house down in March.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.  I am very slow at these things.  This particular song has been over ten years in development...

Mojo - Love it. Nice chop in the rhythm.  Love those right hand mutes!

I find having a few drinks then trying to squirm an ad-libbed bass line in a Leonard Cohen song in some mode or another using a root of C and capo 4 and a whole bunch of chords that don't seem like they ought to be there next to impossible rather than instinctive.  You know, as a random example and definitely not something I was actually doing at midnight when I had to get up early for Easter the next day.

Well that's probably why the guitar is weak in the mix. I wasn't wearing a proper hat.

The rearrangement of the chords was accidental, but it sounded OK and so I left it. I treat these songs as I would a virtual campfire. It's nice that you thought I was smart enough to do that on purpose.
