WHAT TUNES DO YOU ENJOY TO PLAY MOST

[BrianD]

There are so many but probably my favourites are Theme From Shane, Cosy and Mustang. In 1977 I bought my first Burns Marvin (actually it was a Baldwin with the smooth scroll) and I remember that when the then owner handed it to me to try I played Flyder and the Spy. To this day that is the first tune I ever play on any new Marvin I get my hands on, usually followed by Chu Chi.

Man of Mystery, Kon-Tiki, The Stranger, Sleepwalk, Nivram and Midnight.

I'd like to add TFYL (for the muted bit) and Gonzales to the list.

I also used to like playing banana man and maggie's samba but haven't tried to play them for years....

I like playing the Sausage as well but these days I imagine I'm a bed spring and the tune becomes a travesty of what it should be.

Now I'm no longer Legendary... anything up to - but not including - Wonderful Land!

[JimN]

I'm quite fond of the "red Strats with rosewood necks" period - so almost anything from the Licorice Locking period (largely because of the beefy tone Hank was using and the more complex chords Bruce was getting into).

Examples: Sweet Dreams, Theme from The Boys, It's Been A Blue Day, Spring Is Nearly Here, The Breeze And I, The Rumble...

Ecca: Have you ever heard Trevor Byford play The Sausage?

[MeBHank]

Hank's Sound of Silence. That's an obvious choice for me: you'll very rarely see me play live without playing that one. And Moonlight Shadow: it's tricky enough to be a challenge but sooooooo satisfying when you nail it!

I'm enjoying distortion at the moment, too, which means some non Shads tracks. Just for the amount of feeling you can put into it as well as having enough time on the BT to properly experiment with the improvisation, I'm enjoying playing Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb. I play some pinch harmonics in it; catch them just right and I feel like I'm soaring. Breathtaking.
