What song are you working on now?

Beatles- Hard Day's Night (with fake first chord)

Lots of people working on Beatles songs here.  Interesting.

And with good reason!

Jim

Jim- for sure.  Great music stands the test of time.  This music is 40-50 years old, and people are still enjoying it.  Maybe I'm missing something, but I just can't see hardly anyone making pop music today with that kind of genius and staying power.

Probably because there are few, if any that can...

I'm working on 'Till There Was you" by Meredit Wilson, as performed by The Beatles.

Love the Beatles version! Learned that one myself.
I've been on a James Taylor kick lately. Learned "Fire and Rain" and now working on "Handy Man" and "You've Got a Friend."

[byrd]

It's only been about too months since I've been back at playing again, so I've been doing a LOT of exercises recently.  As TaylorPlayer516 mentioned, I've also been working on some of the CAGED stuff lately.

I've recently worked my way through "Wildwood Flower"... short sweet, and fun to play.  I've been trying to work out Big Bill Broonzy's "Hey, Hey" (another very fun tune), but it's been tough finding a good version to learn from.  Today I started on Wayfaring Stranger.  I got a version with a some flatpicking that I like.  Not an overly challenging tune, but nice none the less.  I'm thinking that that Dire Straits, "Romeo and Juliet" will be next on the list... we'll see.

Niel Young is always one of my favorites to play.

"Tangled Up In Blue" by Bob Dylan.  I've had the music down for some time, but for whatever reason I'm having a hard time with some of the verses.

[beachbum205]

... I've had the music down for some time, but for whatever reason I'm having a hard time with some of the verses.

It's called "old age" Phil!    And no offense intended, I'm speaking more about myself here than you. 

Uh, what were we just talking about?

[Edward]

...I've had the music down for some time, but for whatever reason I'm having a hard time with some of the verses.

Can you say "American Pie" ...sheesh, like what, 17 verses?!!! 
I picked 5 and left it at that

I actually memorized the whole song to play at gigs.  People love the song and sing along with a big happy smile...till about verse 3, then they start to stare at you like you have lost your mind.  I will sometimes end with it for fun, but I don't really play it anymore.

Eight Days a Week - Beatles
Troubled Land - John Mellencamp
Hotel California - Eagles

[Scriptor]

On an Irish Folk kick lately ... working on 2 or 3 Irish Reels/Jigs on Tenor Guitar, Banjo and Acoustic Guitar ...

On electric, I am revisiting some hymn medleys I put together many years ago ...

Just having fun really ... jumping on whatever strikes me day to day ...

[roadbiker]

I decided that I want to learn to play Freight Train. It seems like a good way to practice fingerstyle playing...

I'm working on something new for me:  an unaccompanied, single line melody, using either a pick or fingers, on "Ashokan Farewell." Why? Well, because I've never been much of a "lead" player, and that melody is capable of being so very expressive. I can play the notes now, but am not yet satisfied with the way I play the notes, nor the feel I'm getting with the ornamentation or grace notes.

I've tried it in D, G and A, but so far favor the way it sounds in D. When will it be finished? Probably never. I'm not sure it's even possible to reach a point where I'll have nothing left to learn.
