classic Dylan songs always work, like Like A rolling Stone, Tambourine Man, the original version of All Along the Watchtower, Stuck Inside a Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again, or Rainy Day Women.

Also, classic beatles like A Hard Days Night, Yesterday, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, Black Bird, Acorss the Universe, or Come Together.

people seem to always enjoy CCR and Van Morrison songs when you play them live. Greg brown and Nick drake are also great to play, but not everyone knows them.

I have actually never heard it acoustically, but it's surely one of my favourites of Incubus

So I just got back from my gig! It was awesome...

I played 5 songs.. 2 originals, Waiting on an Angel (Ben Harper), Where Are You Going (DMB), and Frail (Jars of Clay instrumental). No major mess-ups... and it was the first time I actually used my amp and Shure SM58 mic in a live performance (you know, you buy equipment with the vision of playing out... and I finally used the stuff for that purpose). Some great friends came out to see me play... and the other singer/songwriter I played with mentioned at the end of the gig that we should play out again. And finally, the coffee house put a tip jar on one of the tables and it filled up with $22. So, I split it 50/50 with the other performer. (I wasn't anticipating being paid... I just wanted to play out... so it was icing on the cake).

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I may use some of then in my next gig (have to practice).

Peace-
ElGuitarrista
