Songs to learn

End of term is just around the corner. With no more lectures to go to, I have a bit more time to spend on the little things I enjoy doing like playing the guitar, spinning poi and hopefully writing more in this blog (hoping to write a big post on the dance show I was in last week when I get some photos ^^). 


The guitar never leaves my mind though, when I'm not learning new songs, I think about ones I want to learn when I'm not so extremely busy, because let's face it, while in uni I'm running around like crazy every day, going to event after event, societies, talks, econ experiments (my only source of extra income at the moment :P ) etc. I don't have much time to dedicate to learning new music. So, I have put together a short list of songs I would love to learn now that I have that little bit of free time :)

1.  KT Tunstall - Black Horse and the Cherry Tree.



Love the looping woohoos and the beat, a bit of scratching that could be a new easy technique to learn. Also, a bit more upbeat than most songs from my repertoire.


2. Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing. 




More suitable for an acoustic guitar (even though most of my songs are...) so maybe learn this one while at home :)



3. Extreme - More Than Words.




Love, love, love this song, the feeling in it, already know how to sing it and it has similar plucking patterns to a song I already know how to play, but can't seem to get past the first few beats. Maybe learn this one over the summer, it requires dedication.



Can't wait to be able to play any of these and sing along! :) Can already imagine those camp-fires,  sitting in a circle of close friends and just playing into the night...
