I'd be inclined to go for something like Street Spirit by Radiohead or Hotel California , both really easy but sound good.

(may need to edit out the po-lice and niggers bit, avoid some controversy )

Indeed, may lose you a few marks

Glad you like it, as I say, play around with it, adapt it, and make it your own

Bo-

If you're up to it, how about something like Classical Gas?

It sounds fine unaccompanied, and it would seem to lend itself to simplification, if needed.

Mason Williams wrote it.

Guns n' Roses - One in a million....you might want to edit one bit where Axl goes a little racist though....

Easy to play powerchords, good to sing, great song. Not too complex.

I was thinking of that exact same song or you're crazy acoustic version (also g n' r). :music1:

As for changing one in a millions lyrics you could try

"Police and muggers, that's right//get outta my way.
Dont need to buy none of your gold chains today."

It would make sense still and remove the naughties.

Edit: I just listened to it and forgot about the "Immigrants and faggots" and "mini Iran" (I think thats what he sings) Maybe "forigeners and tourists"?
IMO music is an expression of oneself so why not sing the original lyrics? You could say you were trying to recreate Axl's attitude when he wrote it.

Yup, and he says they "spread some fucking disease".


Very un-pc and I dont agree with the sentiment, but for pure balls out attitude you have to hand it to him.

One of my favorite GnR tracks.

Although Mason Williams wrote it, countless others have recorded it; Eric Clapton, Charlie Byrd, and more.

It&#39;s not quite a four-minute piece, but it&#39;s dynamism would, I think, carry the day.

People like to hear that tune; those who&#39;ve never heard it generally stop in their tracks to listen.

What style are you looking for? Whats your rough ability? TAB or sheet?

Something preferrably acoustic (My electric is broken atm), maybe an actual song (I can get more marks for singing, I also have a deep voice so nothing really high). I&#39;ve been playing a few years and TAB please


EDIT: I can also get away with an easier piece if I sing Something which uses both picked and strummed rythyms would be good - shows able to do both well. [/b][/quote]
R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts

Invloves both picking and strumming, should be quite easy (both to sing and to play) but the middle section has some more challenging chords. It would be really easy to get extra brownie points by adapting it to be completely acoustic.



Also Jon Bon Jovi&#39;s "August 7, 4:15" (the acoustic version not the studio one) would be a good one, you can do that one as simply or as technically as you like. It also involves both picking and strumming.
Don&#39;t knock it just because it&#39;s a JBJ song, it&#39;s not his usual fare.


I have both songs available for download on soulseek... for tabs, Google is undoubtedly your friend.

For Tabs look Here, found every one I&#39;ve ever wanted on there.
