I’ve been having fun playing Rock Band, and that’s all good and yankee-doodle-dandy, but it takes away time from learning and playing songs on real guitar. Lately I’ve also been playing only chunks of songs and I never remember full songs whenever people come over and say, “oh play this…”. So here I’ll compile a list of songs to play and sing well in order to motivate myself to spend constructive time playing guitar. These are songs I should be able to break out at any point, so they need to be internalized. The list is short for now, but I’ll be adding more as I think of them.

The links go to YouTube videos of the songs.

• Local H – Eddie Vedder
• Spot – Moon June Spoon
• John Mayer – Daughters
• John Mayer – Why did you mess with forever?
• RHCP – Breaking the Girl
• Snow Patrol – Chasing Cars
• All American Rejects – Dirty Little Secret
• The Killers – Mr Brightside
• Lilly Allen – Womanizer (Cover) (seriously, it’s good)
• Marty Casey – Baby One More Time (Cover) (again… good)
• Oasis – Wonderwall
• Radiohead – High and Dry
• John Frusciante – How Deep is Your Love (Bee Gees Cover)
