favourite song to play on guitar

alb

Just wondering if like me anyone has a song or songs or even just a riff they always start playing when they pick up a guitar or a favourite song to play. For some reason with me its either theunder the bridge intro or the day tripper riff.
My favourite song to play though has to be jeff buckley hallelujah atm.
What about the rest of u geetar players out there?

Yeah I always do Under The Bridge, Blackbird, or the start of Pardon Me (Incubus).

Acoustically I always break into “wish you where here” the basic riff is easy but the solo sounds really cool on the acoustic.

On the electric I love to play Just, My Iron Lung (yeah I’m a radiohead fan get over it) Purple Haze or Sweet Child of Mine.

Hallelujah is also cool to play on the electric. Too bad I can’t hit the high notes.

I'm having alot of fun playing Welcome to The Jungle - Guns N' Roses at the mo'

But when I pick up a guitar I always seem to play the Intro solo for Fade to Black - Metallica.

Karl Hungus

Touch Like Angel Of Death by Children Of Bodom.
Lethaly catchy, and great fun to play.

Other than that, it's mostly my own guitar riffs I play.

Maybe a bit of Cradle Of Filth now and then.

Emperor - I am The Black Wizards.
Now that a legendary guitar riff, can play that over and over again.

I only remember how to play one song on the guitar
I had A Little Dog And His Name Was Blue, was the song, 2 cords A and D I believe.
I havent touched a guitar since 4th class, that's what 8 or 9 years ago

The FANJ - where did you get "Wish you were here?" You are talking about the Pink Floyd song right? I've looked for ages and can't find a correct version. Anyway recently I've started breaking into "Just a Day" by Feeder any time I pick up a guitar.

Cheez

Blackbird - The Beatles /
Once around the block- Badly Drawn Boy (acoustic)
Stinkfist/H - TooL (electric)
Jasco - Sepultura (attempt cuz its hard)

Shiminay

I find myself tuning to drop-D and lashing out Deftones Bored cause it's so easy

I also play daft things like Hell March from the game Red Alert and generally just muck about after that.
