Here’s something fun: overplayed guitar store songs. I’ll admit that I’m guilty of #1 and #4 on this list, although I tend to think that #4 is doing a public service. The other songs on the list I’ve never actually learned. “But Jason, what do you play at the guitar store?” I’m glad you asked! In no particular order:
- “The Truth” – Prince
- “The Cross” – Prince
- “Signe” – Eric Clapton
- “Ziggy Stardust” – David Bowie
- “Can You Get to That” – Funkadelic
- “Secret Agent Man” – Johnny Rivers
- “One” – U2
- “I Still Love You” – Terence Trent D’arby
- “Day Tripper” – The Beatles
On bass I have a shorter list:
- “I Burn For You” – The Police
- “Come Together” – The Beatles
- “Chameleon” – Herbie Hancock
In fact, I’m going to play some of these right now.
