Well, I ain't that experienced as the others here! However, as a farewell comes only once at a perticular lever, its important and you seem serious, I think I could suggest you something that might help!

Playing chords is tough if you play the rythms! But if you strum only one chord and then sing that line of the song and then strum the other chord and sing the corresponding line, it will get you off the burdon of rythms(however, rythm is mostly everything). And then this kind of singing gives the performance an Unplugged like flavour!

A very simple but totally perfect song for this occation would be Denver's "All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go". It only have three chords and they are simple enough to learn(as each mostly involves 3 fingers). And I really won't suggest to go for PAL or YARON etc. So just for your reference, I'm sending the whole song along with the chordings! But I'll suggest you'd better listened to it at least 10 times! OK?

So here it goes: (this song was also the theme song of Armageddon-the movie, recreated by a female singer)

LEAVING ON A JET PLANE
Words and Music by John Denver

G / / / C / / /
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
G / / / C / / /
I'm standing here outside your door
G / / / C / / / D ///////
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
G / / / C / / /
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
G / / / C / / /
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
G / / / C / / / D ///////
Already I'm so lonesome I could die


Chorus:
G / / / C / / /
So kiss me and smile for me
G / / / C / / /
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G / / / C / / / D ///////
Hold me like you'll never let me go
G / / / C / / /
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
G / / / C / / /
Don't know when I'll be back again
G / / / C / / / D ///////
Oh, babe, I hate to go....

Verse 2:
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring

CHORUS

Verse 3:
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times I won't have to say

CHORUS

end on G chord

==============
Ok! so this was it! If you practice it for 2 days 30 min a day, I think you can do it! But DO LISTEN to the song! And for your reference, download Winchords software!

Bye and wish you a happy performance,
Ankur

WHere can we get this song???? I've been looking for it but couldn't find it. Plz suggst a download site.

zonish telling U have a guitar is simply easy but let me tell U this isnt easy because...
1. guitar needs more time
2. this is a forced attempt
3. your first performance
This isnt discouraging but I "AM" also learning guitar myself and I can play a lot of songs, ALL SONGS OF JAL......but still I aint perfect..!!! I have played guitar for meore than 8 months and aint perfect!!!

'papa kehte hain' is another easy song...but you need to practice a little bit...both rhythm and chords...it has C, Am, F and G chords...they are not that hard to learn...If you know how to play C, then you can easily change it to Am and F. Changing it to G needs a little practice...

Dude tell u what, gogol upstairs gave u a prefect advice, but only catch is, u lack experience. U said u have to play n sing at the same time. I've been playing guitar for 6 months, and i cant do that coz switching chords takes a lotta concentration at this level. I think the best option for u is to chicken out. Sick leave, perfect suggestion. But if it is not an option, u can do a Paki song Piya by IMIK. It is completely played on a guitar with one form of a chord sliding on the strings. U can downlaod it from http://www.apniisp.com/songs/pakista...-ga/173/1.html . This song is finger-picked, which means have to pick the strings by ur fingertips, not a pick. Ur thumb, n ur ring finger is all u need in this song. Tabs are as follows:

e---------0------------0--------0---------0---------0---------0--------0----------0-----
B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G-------------------9--------------------6-------------------2-------------------4------
D----------------9---------------------6-------------------2-------------------4--------
A--7----------7------------4--------4---------0---------0-----------2-------2-----------
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TIMELINE ------------->>>

I think u mentioned u cant read the tabs. Herez how u do it. Look at the above tab. It is the neck of ur guitar. E is the thickest of strings, A comes next, then D, then G, then B and then e, which is the thinnest. What u do, is that u move along the timeline, i.e., u read it from left to right. U see the first note is 7 on A string. It means u press the A string at 7th fret, and pick that string with ur thumb. The next note is 0 at e. It means that u dont have to hold any fret on e strng. U pick it with ur right ring finger without touching it with ur left hand. The rest keeps on like that. Listen to the song over n over agian, and get the tempo or rhythm with it. Then u can understand the lyrics n so on. Any questions? Im here all night 24/7

WHoa! What r u nuts???? The guy doesnt know to play a guitar n hez already too nervous. And what u do? u go n suggest him the stupidest song of the last century? Gimme a break....

:sigh: formula for disaster, the guy doesnt know chords, and you're asking him to change chords? Whatever man, i said what i had to say.

My point exactly....... Dude u would be better off with Piya - IMIK. In that, u dont change the shape of ur fingers, u just slide em up n down the neck without disturbing their form. And another tip i forgot. Keep ur left index finger on A string, while ring finger n pinky to press D and G strings. Its almost the simplest song u can find. Good luck

Ok, it seems Zonish that you are in big trouble! So many advices and so many paths....You're confused, aren't you? Ok so leme add up some more confusions to the piggy bank! Its not about which song to play! We all advised you the ones we felt you might be able to play! Evo Guy there advised you one song and gave the tabs also! I personally haven't heard that song, but hope its really good!

So one thing is set; and that is you have bag-full of songs to sing(and play)!
The problem still remains the same, YOU DON'T KNOW how to play!!!!!

But CHILL dude! We were all like you once(and still are )! However, I think one thing is confirmed from your side that you can give your best to learn, right?(if wrong, don't read any more)

So I'm advising you a Guitar Lesson site that I followed way back when I started playing! It was good, interactive, and very fast! The time scale given in that site is in weeks! But also Dan Cross(the author) expects you to practice 30min-1hr a day. I think you can give a bit more than that. So you can also bring down the learning time scale!

So here's the site: Begineer's Guitar Lessons Archive .

Get there and learn fast! If you need any more advice(I don't know how much I can provide as I ain't that experienced(which I mentioned before)), my yahoo chat id is [SNIP] .

So bye and keep rocking,
Ankur(Gogol)
