David Gates wrote a keeper.
Saw Glen Campbell do this live in the early 70's.
Just him and his Ovation.
I've played it for years,(I only use about half of the chords Glen used), someday I'll learn the rest. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | "If" was an easy song to play, one of the first ones I learned. When I tried to remember it recently after my 20 year layoff from playing the guitar, I found that I can't hit the high notes anymore. And I can't sing falsetto like I used to. I don't know if that happened from lack of practice or from just growing older or both.
I found the tab to "Treetop Flyer" last night and will try to learn that. I heard it on the radio on the way home the other night. Stills does some great acoustic work. |

Location: NJ | Buffett does a nice cover of "TreetopFlyer" on the "BananaWind" album (not mentioned on the track listing - it's a "bonus track" that's tacked-on at the end of the last song). Some tasty slide work on it (if I remember correctly). . . . |

Location: Warren,Pa. | "The Bricklayer's Beautiful Daughter" by Will Ackerman. Not the most complex piece, but it's so full of emotion...it just takes me somewhere else whenever I hear it in my mind. Haven't had the recording since I had it on vinyl. Guess I should get the CD. I still remember every note in my head, though. |

I'm not sure if he did that tune specifically, but he's a great player and should be around for years to come. If you get a cjhance to see Sting's VH1 Storyteller's show, he's on that. Personally I love all the stuff that Sting comes out with and especially the acoustic versions. |

Walk on Boy- Doc and Merle Watson
I Can't Help Falling in Love with You- Everybody
Alices' Restaurant- Arlo Guthrie

I don't know if these songs fit into the "catagory", but all can be played acoustically with favorable results.
The list is endless. |
