Blue J Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 A few I like to play from time to time: Wondering AloudDun RingillCrash Barrier WaltzerNursieOne White DuckLocomotive BreathMother GooseUnder Wraps 2Skating 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 My favorite Tull song is Aqualung. After that, it is Joe Bonamassa's version of AA New Day Yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 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. Â Requiem is another one I had on my list, and its chord changes are going to take a good bit of practice, I think.
