Joined: July 2005 Posts: 1609 Location: Colorado | I'm putting a project together - I need songs that are about playing guitar - or at least reference playing a guitar in the song. Harry Chapin's Six String Orchestra - and John Denver's This Old Guitar come to mind. What else is out there? Heavens - I might even have to pull the guitar out and play a song or two! Somewhere out there there's a country song "I sure Guitar'd of her"! | ||

Joined: December 2007 Posts: 54 Location: Eaton Rapids Michigan | All good suggestions...David Wilcox has a song called "Guitar Shopping", From "What YOu Whispered"... "There's a guitar here in the window I'd like to play before its sold Its such a classic, mint condition Great shape for one this old Now all these axes have their stories Of the gigs that they have seen But when this one sold the first time I was seventeen 'Course back then I didn't want it it was way too new for me I needed something old and righteous with its own authority So the first guitar I ever bought Was twice as old as me Cause its life was full of music As I dreamed that mine might be And I played that thing a thousand nights And traded it away For something slightly newer That was easier to play But now lately I buy new guitars, They're shiny as a hearse I still like the look of road wear, But the roles have been reversed And now this thing is a classic But I still don't need to buy Yeah the old ones have their stories But by now, so do I" Great song by my favorite singer songwriter... | ||

The 12 Frets of GAS by Bill Kaman Jan 17, 2008 I’ve got(D) an addiction(G) All(D) my life it seems(A) And(Bm) it controls my waking(G) hours And at night(D), it’s always there(A), in my dreams(D) (ch)I love guitars(G) There it’s said(D) Natural(F#), Sunburst(F#7) and Red(G) (D) Cause I just can’t get enough(A) I keep on buying them up(G) I guess it’ll be that way till I’m dead(D) An old Martin(D) is a thing of beauty(G) But old Gibsons(D) sometimes can sound thin(A) Rickenbackers(Bm) are hard to play, I(G) went and bought one anyway I had(D) to sound like Petty(A) and McGuinn(D) I got some strats to be like Clapton Les Pauls, so I could play the blues Takamine and Kalamazoo, National and Oahu There’s so many, and it’s always hard to choose ch My basses are 4, 5, or 6 string My guitars all are 6 and 12 Mandolins are cute and small, but I can’t play them at all That’s why there’s only three hanging on the wall For Jazz I need big fat archtops And country I need that Tele sound The Ovation sound is getting round, hope Fender don’t put it in the ground I worked too hard to make it world renowned ch (BR) (Asus4)Now it’s not so bad, I can’t make, (A7)Choices on my own (Bsus4)This Jones is strong, But I still got, (B7)Standards don’t you know (G)I may have bought a lot of things, (A)But never a banjo! (break, 1 verse) When I die bury me in a hard shell case It’s time to go visit all the stars Got a gig up in the sky, maybe I can play some slide And run the Heaven Store that sells Guitars. Ch. | ||
