Well Sup Forums I have a question for you.
I've been asked to do an acoustic set in a pub on Sunday night; I was wondering if you guys might have any suggestions as to what might go down well.
I'm thinking mostly Dad Rock and a few more poppy songs sprinkled in to keep the casual listeners engaged.
Any ideas?

Dadrock always goes down well, but throw in the good shit that people still recognize like Here Comes the Sun or some Hendrix. Also play a few obscure songs so that people get excited when you play a song that they know.
Wonderwall, bitches love Wonderwall
Asturias
Oh that's a good idea actually with the obscure songs..
Here comes the sun is also a good shout.
Thanks user.

If you're playing at Starbucks, play pic related
Nah, it's a legit pub. Maybe next time though
>Here Comes the Sun or some Hendrix
>not dadrock
People in their 20s will always recognize those early 2000s pop songs, like sugar ray's someday and shit like that. If the crowds older than that I'd say dad rock it is
I wrote that weird, I meant it as good dadrock stuff. I didn't mean that Hendrix wasn't dadrock.
Good shout, I have R Kelly's Ignition and Lil Jon's Get Low for the 20 somethings. I'm playing around with Let's Get It Started too.
if I could play in a bar i'd play TVZ probably, seems like fun with the finger picking but also suits the mood
TVZ?
Townes Van Zandt
Oh right. I'll give him a listen, I'm not familiar.

(please give me some feedback on the sound quality)
The bassier parts get lost behind the distortion. Did you turn on an effect mid way through or something?
real death by mount eerie
Yeah. Turned on my fuzz-pedal. It's a part of the song. Thanks for the feedback
Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
Edith and the Kingpen - Joni Mitchell
Boho Dance - Joni Mitchell
Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell
California - Joni Mitchell
Play Joni Mitchell.
Oh fuck, I'd love to play Both Sides Now and Big Yellow Taxi.
Thanks for the reminder user!
Yeah, I'd maybe watch the EQ when the fuzz comes on. It's a bit much on the bass at the moment.
Watch out, to get that song right you gotta play it in open D.
Or play it G A D, most people won't notice.7
Is this for Big Yellow Taxi yeah?
Yeah
end with whats new pussycat but make it 40 minutes
Is the two bit cover artist playing Wonderwall like a universal joke amongst singer songwriters? I remember going to see a one act play once about aspiring musicians at a bar, and the running joke was that every guy that went up for the open mike played Wonderwall.
Also you should play a bunch of Leonard Cohen songs and pass them off as your own, see if anyone actually catches you
try cool covers like Warren does:
two words
Fleetwood
Mac
foo fighters
weezer
rhcp
coldplay
george michael
michael jackson
van morrison
neil diamond
pearl jam
john mayer
ed sheeran
Throw in some Frank Black/Pixies
Freebird!
