Prior to the most recent iterations of the internet, the only way to learn songs was to transcribe them yourself by ear, note by note, chord by chord. Or you could buy a book containing a compilation of popular songs, each transcribed exclusively into open chords played in a monotonous quarter time strumming pattern. And why are so many people in here hating on the Stones? They've never pretended to be a sophisticated rock band. They've always been about having fun, which is reflected in their music. And isn't the dream of having fun with a guitar the reason we're all here?

You could always try writing your own songs, or embellish existing songs. Just look what SRV did with "Mary had a Little Lamb".

I guess these are all moot points, as the creator of this thread has apparently already checked out. Question is, where ya gonna go? Where are you going to find that mythical mother lode of awesome songs?
