Every Guitar Player Should Know 5 Songs

#12string. #12stringguitar. #bestguitarsongs
Every guitar player should know 5 songs. You should be able to perform these songs to the best of your ability and they should highlight your strengths. These are songs that everybody should know immediately, unless you write your own songs. If you have originals, you should always make sure that at least one is in the set. Here are my five songs. The Beatles, Tom Petty, Allman Brothers, Van Morrison, and one of my own. I hope you enjoy it.

[sandrataylor]

[amandadavidson]

the beginning is too funny. great video

[landiahillfarm]

All great choices and the advice was well appreciated.

[besalon]

Love me some Space Hippy!! Awesome video!!

[blakewilliams]

Another great video. Hate I missed the debut. You’re spot-on about the brain freeze and having a few in your hip pocket. Thanks!

Short term memory loss from a heart attack is what got me playing again!

[christopherfoss]

Big thumbs up! Glad I made the premiere this time. Good stuff once again Mark

The key to overcomming put on the spot shock. I was told, is to practice someplace different every day. Such as, outside, in the kitchen, garage, livingroom, ect....and of cource profrom for others as much as possible.

[howardklein]

Yep! I usually fall back on Helplessly Hoping, works every time! ;-)

[stankruger]

Another home run. The opening section on "Crippling Affliction" is priceless!

[udertyrat]

Great job. I have forgotten so many songs I’ve covered.

[CthulhuInc]

jeezo, mark, i got chills down my backbone when you were playing free-fallin' - fantastic work, my friend! and haha, where was the 12 string on norwegian wood 😉? fortunately, as i am just learning, i don't yet have 5 songs under my belt, so i can't choke when it comes to requests! but don't worry - i will haha 🙃! thanks again for your great content - love from canada!

[bobshomewoodshop]

I have a three-ring binder with songs I have practiced enough that I can do any of them at a moment's notice.

[NDFlyFisher]

Love the “crippling affliction” humor. 😂

I’d like to hear more of Space Hippie. Really catching tune. Keep including your original songs ❤

[KevinDFJames]

Your hints are excellent! I only play a 12 string guitar because the sound is so rich.

[JohnR]

Great to see you back! Hope your feeling better. Well, you hit the nail on the head with this video. I hate that feeling...total brain freeze. I ask the person"What sort of songs do you like ?" and go from there. Sort of breaks the ICE!!!🤞🤞🤞🤞

[richhirsh]

Really great job playing, singing, and mixing the video! Enjoying your channel and the 12 string content!

[petaks]

Great video as usual, Petty sure has been played a few times when everything else failed to pop up ;)

Space Hippie has to be my favorite on the list. Not only cause it's yours Mark, but it really jams ! Plus every time I play this song, no matter where my handicap daughter is in the house. Once she hears the first few notes she's right next to me telling me to turn it up. All I can do is Crank It ! She even has the lyrics memorized. Thank You Mark ! Touching lives more ways the one buddy !
