Recently both James Kuhnel and Andrew Beal at Kirklees Guitar School have both posed a question along the lines of ‘what is your go to song on guitar’ if asked to play?
I realised that I don’t really have one. I have tended to learn a song for a performance (or recording) and then moved on to another, quite quickly forgetting how to play the former. This even applies to my own original songs!
Another factor is that with changing keys to match my Bass vocal I often use the guitar Capo. So is this go to song with Capo that I happen to be carrying!
Assuming that it is I would likely choose one of the songs that I have performed at Open Mic night or gathering. So this is now a to-do, commit to relearning and regularly practice one or more of these songs.
