Fella, i was in a packed out University bar one friday night and the guy on the stage was challenging the students to come up and have a go, he was playing a piano, but he had with him an old EKO Ranger 12 string Electro/accoustic that was all gaffa taped up and he asked if anyone could play it, i happened to have had a few whisky and cokes in me at the time so with a gut full of dutch courage i said i could play the thing, and i got up there and after finding a capo and tinkling with the EKO to make sure it was tuned went into the intro of Hotel California, the crowd went mad as that old Eko produced its beautiful 12 string sound over the amp, and the guy on the piano(a true master) produced a bit of magic of his own and did a rendition of the Electric guitar parts with the piano and sung with me and the EKO in the background. When we finished up to a standing ovation i had in mind to get some more whisky and coke, and found myself being flanked by a few good looking young ladies (and sadly a couple of guys too!) who escorted me to the bar where one thing led to another and a good night was had by all. Nuff Said. But the point is mate, half the time its not the song, it's having the skill to play at all (and sometimes a big set of <a href="mailto:b@ll" target="_blank">b@ll</a>#cks). But it's also a good idea to know what she's into and have it playing on the sterio when she arrives, so that when she says "Oh, I love this song" you come in and say "Really?, so do I, i can actually play this on the Guitar!"
Before my brother in Law proposed to my sister i taught him Stand By Me by Ben e king, she loved it and now they're married with a kid <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_surprised.gif" border=0 alt="Surprised"> . So good luck fella and let us all know what worked!
