Guitarists who love Jethro Tull- make some recommendations

I've been on a serious Jethro Tull bender lately, and yesterday I was putting together some of their songs that I'd love to play on the acoustic guitar. I came up with about 11-12 songs right off the bat, which will keep me busy for a little while.

 

Anybody here play a lot of Tull songs? Tell me what you love to play the most, and why.

 

Thanks!

A few I like to play from time to time:

 

Wondering Aloud

Dun Ringill

Crash Barrier Waltzer

Nursie

One White Duck

Locomotive Breath

Mother Goose

Under Wraps 2

Skating Away

 

Lots of reasons I like playing these - I like how Anderson picks out melody notes in a chord; there's something satisfying about the chord voicings with a capo on the guitar; the songs are in my range; when I'm able to master some of the difficult parts like the little lick in Crash Barrier Waltzer it's quite satisfying. I like songs that are basically just guitar accompaniments but that are more interesting than just strumming chords.

Wondering Aloud and One White Duck were on the short list that I put together yesterday.

 

Definitely agree with your last statement there, too.

The very first one I tried was We Used to Know- really easy, a lot of fun. And then For Michael Collins, Jeffery, and Me went pretty well as well.

 

Requiem is another one I had on my list, and its chord changes are going to take a good bit of practice, I think.
