i will sit and watch.

its supposedly an arrangement for the intermediate guitarist.
quoting tom from his album CD sleeve-
"As Far as I have seen,solo guitar arrangements for Beethoven's Fur Elise come in two categories: either they are targeted for beginners and are rather inadequate,or they are quite extraordinary and require a Christopher Parkening or a John Willaims to play them. This,I produced these arrangements for the intermediate guitarist".

@jayswami ur list is pretty cool. I never realised I could sing and play these songs so easily... suggest some more

 

most pakistani rock songs..
jal atif aslam noori songs..
there is an ali hamza unrelased song named mun dolay.. thats a very cool song to play and sing live.. odds are no one woulda heard it before and it sounds cool
see if u can find it from an underground site..
here is my recording of that:
https://vorlon.cwru.edu/~jayen/IGT/mun dolay.mp3


the other secret is.. u can do any song live in your own way..
dil se is a cool example.. humma humma is another..
u can do cool acoustic guitar version of those songs in E major.

if u can sing really well kailash kher songs are cool
allah ke bandhe is a song worth learning, so is yun hi chalaa ja from swades.

old RD burman songs:

1)tujse naraaz nahin - masoom

2) aaj unse pehle

3) mausam pyar ka - sitamgarh

4) hum dono do premi - zamane ko dikhana hai -- coolest desi song u can play on acoustic rhythm all sus2 and sus 4 open chords

5) tere bina - ghar

the key for all rd burman songs is u need to get that off beat syncapated strumming going.. once u get that every song will become a piece of cake. also use fingers or a very thin pick (<=.38mm) to strum r d burman songs. the indian low q thin plastic picks which break very easily are the best ones to play rd burman songs if u prefer picks to using the fingers to strum. u dont get those here in usa :

dude Sweet Child can be a playable song, I nailed down everything including the 2 killer solos. but if you want simple and FOR SURE IF YOU WANT THE CROWD JUMPIN

Sweet...Home..Alabamaaaa........ - Lynyrd Skynyrd. (gets the crowd singing and jumpin)

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana (mosh pits and lots of adrenaline)
My Michelle - Guns N' Roses (Loud, Fast, and Outta Control!!!)

 

man try dooba dooba by silk route for hindi its so simple yet touching.
for english i think one of the most simple and beautiful one may be 'Mama Said' by
Metallica.And those who have not heard this song u should definitely hear it. it depicts
another side of Metallica.

 

Hmm...ok guyzz...i think ...mm....saeein of junoon...is very easy....it sounds good....en ...quiet easy to play....en especially on standard tuning..!
