Landmark tunes
Posted On: 20/09/2007 22:42:42

This tune made me think am I alone or do we all have these tunes you know the ones "If I could just play so and so I would be happy" . Casting my mind back I can't think of the early ones I'm shure Dylan was in there some where but House of the Rising Sun was one and Anji along with Ralph McTell's Streets of London following later Classical Gas and the one that started me thinking Stairway to Heaven is it banned in that many guitar shops?


Whats your landmark tunes?

I was at school in the sixties, House of the Rising Sun was the Landmark (played fingerstyle) being a rite of passage if you wanted to be in the guitar playing set! A good way to learn chord changes in a hurry.


Do you mean Anji by the Stones or the Davey Graham one later played by Bert Jansch - I saw Bert play it the late sixties, very much a landmark.


My local guitar shop has a lead with a mains plug one end and a jack plug on the the other for those wanting to play Stairway to Heaven, and Smoke on the water!!!

The original release was a bit before my time, but the Led Zeppellin acoustic stuff really turned me onto the fun you could have with an acoustic guitar and opened the door to so many other artists old and new, so I'd say Bron-Y-Ur (Spelling??)

Of more recent vintage the first Tony McManus album....

I think House of the Rising Sun was one of the earliest I can remember, when I first started playing. Once I 'could' play and was playing the folk clubs I remember ISB's October Song was one I wish I could play and this upstart kid in my local club played it beautifully - He was (and still is!) Dave Stewart.
