Repertoire

And what music am I endeavoring to learn to play upon my guitar to some theoretical good effect?

Well. Hereunder the instrumentals: (in the interests of full disclosure, on a few of these, I do try and sing along:)

Guitar Clerk’s Bane, 1969
(This is a quick montage of: Smoke on the Water, Stairway to Heaven,
House of the Risin’ Sun, Classical Gas, and Blackbird)
Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring
Greensleeves
Yesterday
Bridge Over Troubled Water
Romanza
The Minuet Baroque Down
Here, There and Everywhere
In My Life
Cast Your Fate to the Wind
Bouree in Em
Here Comes the Sun
Fleur de Leis
Canon in D
Maleguana
Hey, Jude
Cady Jo
Theme from The Godfather (Speak Softly, Love)
Dixie
The Water is Wide
(Dropped-C)
Ashokan Farewell
(Dropped-C)

None of these can I claim to have mastered, but pretty much I can get from the start to the end on most of them, some of the time, from memory. (Not quite on Ashokan Farewell, yet.) Those in the public domain, or ones I've written, I sometimes share on Soundclick! The copyrighted work I'll need to get licenses for, if I ever feel like posting 'em or sticking them on a CD.

Maybe some day ...

I do have a whole bunch of songs that I strum or fingerpick whilst singing -- well, more like croaking -- along, ranging from The Kinks Lola, to Randy Newman's Sail Away, to some I've written, but since I'm focusing more on how to play the guitar, I don't spend as much time learning those as I do the instrumentals.
