What are some of your songs that you default to playing every time you pick up a guitar? I'm looking for some new stuff to try out.

For example, every time I pick up my acoustic, the first thing I play is "Stop This Train" by John Mayer. Really fun picking pattern and sounds cool. Plus the bitches love it.

Thanks in advance.

Castles Made of Sand (Jimi Hendrix) - addictive rhythm and funky chords


Sweet Euphoria (Chris Cornell) - just like the chord progressions.

Underrated tune.

Rhcp - under the bridge
Foo - everlong (go to on guitar and my drums)
Dire straits - money for nothing

Took on a whole new meaning when they did it on the acoustic tour (and it appears on the live DVD of said tour). I'm going to listen to it now!
