calling all guitarists, you've gotta a misson
what song can i play to impress a beautiful chick living next door

[Raskolnikov]

Probably depends on her taste in music.

General considering my knowledge of woman (and keep in mind that I've been single since the end of June), pick a song that you care about a lot. Something kinda layed back and easy on the ears, but something you can play with passion.

Whatever you do, just don't pretend to be somebody you're not. That will get neither of you anywhere.

[Incidents Happen]

Dont play heavy metal. Or hard rock. If you are like me, you would play "To Lay Me Down" by the Grateful Dead. It's a slow, incredible song. If played on an acoustic ( as it was in 'Reckoning'), it makes it even better. Check it out sometime.

[friskynibbles]

Under "GUITAR TAB" there is a thread "Good for the ladies". There are lots of brilliant suggestions there. Nothing Else Matters (Metallica) is always a winner, stay away from Closer (Nine Inch Nails) lol.

Play something you can sing, even if you can't sing to well, find something that you can fake your way thru, to score additional points, make it something she can relate to, most women like ballads, thats why so many rock bands put at least one on every album

[Lordathestrings]

If you have a 12-string (and massive forearms), you've gotta try Extreme's "Hole-Hearted".

Mere mortals can get by on "More Than Words" from the same band.

thanks guys misson completed,
i've got a date. i played the song civil war by g'n'r(just the intro and verse part.

[James]

I love that song... play it for me and I might go out with ya too :)

[Christoph]

Play Extreme's "More Than Words".

It's a pretty challenging song though, and you've gotta have some chops.

[dev]

hey james guess what, if you are lonely you should find yourself a girl.

are you KIDDING me?!?!?! most women could tell if your faking it or not! he's gotta play somethin from his SOUL, something HE likes and HE will play GOOD. See?

[NINvanefreak]

::says sarcasticly::hmmm ohhhhhhhhh yeah play nine inch nails-closer..im suuuure she'll just love that..well..i know i would ::winks::

[PonyOne]

Play her "I'm Ugly And I Don't Know Why" by Butt Trumpet.

[Incidents Happen]

HAHAHA! Butt Trumpet? Never heard of it, but funny name.

[pstring]

Play something from his soul? What if he has the soul of a really bad singer? Most women can tell if you're faking it? I seriously doubt that, I've seen way to much to the contrary to believe that

[PonyOne]

N-Sync: 25 million

Failure: sub-500,000

Me: 2

ok if he has the soul of a really bad singer and he listens to hard rock (my opinion-crap), then why should he pretend to be somebody that he's not? if she doesnt like him for who he is, then its her problem.

[Psycho Amram]

nayway it can work even if the girl knows you're fakin'
i once had a girl (or should i say she once had me...) that liked Radiohead i didnt like them back than but for her i played street spirit and i got sweeeeeeet date ;)
if she knew i was fakin' (god damnit i like metallica) she didn't show any of it.

[xxxmudshuvelxxx]

what about where did you sleep last night it is easy and you can probly sing it too

[PonyOne]

God above can I relate to that song...

i dunno... unless the girl knows the song, or is a fan of sad music, it'd probably depress her out of bring interested in you. If you wanna do the sympathy thing, I'd say do In The House Of The Rising Sun.

Or, you could go the Butt Trumpet route.

[Incidents Happen]

:( shows how much i know about girls :(

woah woah woah, you dont mean the nirvana song do you.

"My girl, My girl, Dont LIiiiiiiiiiie to me, tlel me wheeeeere did you sleeeeep, last night"-

im a nirvana fan but really thats an akward song to play to a girl. for me it would be at least.

[PonyOne]

the lyrics to the butt trumpet song (i'm ugly & i don't know why) the lead singer's a woman but you could switch stuff around to suit being a guy.

i was walking home from school one day
when i saw danny standing there
i tried to show him my dirty underwear
he showed me his
still nothing could compare

then he said
you're ugly
what the f--- gave birth to you?
you're ugly
and i bet your mommy is too
you're ugly
man, what's with that do?
you're ugly because you're ugly

y'know,
i kinda wonder when i think back to those days
why did all the boys get scared & run away?
so i looked in the mirror
to see if it was true
and my reflection looked at me
like it was scared too

and it said
you're ugly
what the f--- gave birth to you?
you're ugly
and i bet your mommy is too
you're ugly
man, what's with that do?
you're ugly because you're ugly
let me tell you guys a little story bout my second grade love. his name was danny and he looked so good this one day in his plaids & toughskins. And every day i'd go and meet him after class and this one day these three little girls came out right before he did. this one girl named heidi weller had a handful of pumpkin seeds so i said "lemme see your pumpkin seeds" & she said no. so i grabbed her hand and said "LEMME SEE THOSE PUMPKIN SEEDS NOW B----" and i looked at them, and she's written danny irving's name on each & every one of those damn pumpkin seeds and i said "HEY B----, THAT'S MY BOYFRIEND! WHY'D YOU WRITE MY BOYFRIEND'S NAME ON YOUR DAMN PUMPKIN SEEDS? I'M GONNA HAVE TO KICK YOUR F------G A-- B----!" and you know what she had the nerve to say to me? she said

you're ugly
what the f--- gave birth to you?
you're ugly
and i bet your mommy is too
you're ugly
man, what's with that do?
you're ugly because you're ugly

and then i told her to turn around & bend over & put another c---- on her a--.

[Branislav]

Try with Don't Cry (G'N'R) or Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin) maybe Californication (RHCP) or something like that

Chicks love slow songs.

Good luck :)

holy @!#!$ those lyrics are @#!$$'d up. I think I will stick with my good ole' clean dead ly rics.

[PonyOne]

I could post the lyrics to "Crippled Children Suck" or "What's This S--- Called Love?" by the Meatmen, but I'll hold off then...

Oh and not to be a jerk, but could you not repost the message you're replying to when it's like 3 pages long? Thanks B.

[Dimitrivich]

That song "My Girl" that has been called a Nirvana song is actually a song that Nirvana covered...it is originally by a blues guitarist named Lead Belly (or something like that)

[SofaKingStupid]

download Blackbird by The Beatles, it's slow and sweet, trust me, it work for a ****-face like me.

And that's not even getting into Seth Putnam territory - which is probably for the better.

yes it is he was Kurts favorite preformer

[blankdrawn]

uhhhh.....i dont mean to sound dumb but why dont you just flat out ask her out? whats so friggin hard about asking a girl out? sure, the guitar method is romantic, but....ok never mind i should shut up

[blankdrawn]

oh oh oh....i just thought of something...
you can play green day's good riddance (time of your life) but change the lyrics to something like, "i'll be the time of your life" or something like that. this reply is being written on the fly so that little lyric may sound wack but take my advice and change the lyrics so it doesnt sound like youre telling her to cheat on you or sumtin

good luck and good riddance (pun intended)
