How good are you, what can you play!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I would say I'm advanced at guitar playing, having done so since August, 1956 (52 years)!. I can play many songs once I hear them a time or two and for those that don't register in my mind I simply buy the sheet music, learn the basic melody line, and improvise with chordal progressions and mood!.

My main venue is Country, Blues (Delta blues), Flamenco, Pop standards, Spanish, and classics!. I'm not into shred, heavy metal, and acid rock, but will play soft rock and those that I grew up listening to, which is the rock of the 1950s!.

Some of the tunes I play regularly are:
"The House of the Rising Sun"
"Malaguena"
"Orange Blossom Special"
"Classical Gas"
"Under the Double-Eagle"
"Hotel California"
"Summertime"
"Fiddler on the Roof"
"Windy and Warm"
"Honky Tonk"
"Guitar Boogie"
"Deep Purple"
"Ebb Tide"
"Ghost Riders in the Sky"
"Vaya Con Dios"
"El Paso"
"I'll See You in My Dreams"
"Carioca"
"Amazing Grace" in harmonics
And more !. !. !.
