Oi, you lot
Name some songs I could look up the tabs for and learn to play, I'm bored and you're all well ugly

Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead
One of my faves to play. Really easy but effective.

Ohmygod
you're like psychic and everything. That's my Mum's favourite song, so I tried to learn it because she doesn't think I can play, because she doesn't know any of the songs I'm playing.

But doggamit, that's a pretty hard song to play.

EDIT it goes something like:

5-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-
7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-
7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-
8-x-8-x-8-x-8-x-8-x-
7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-
5-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-

Hmm doesn't sound too difficult..
Chord changes are quite fast maybe. Minumum widdle involved though.

Only suggested it for the gayness of the lyrics combined with strumming. Think GM resonates with a lot of women of a certain age, who probably can't believe that he ever came out.

You just described Mum
You haven't had her as well, have you?

It's the muting the strings between each strum that makes it difficult

G Major does that to me too.

urgh that's a horrible chord
there's got to be an easier way than playing that.

with palm muting? EDIT assuming low E is at the top of the tab. Is that right? Confused now. Haven't read tab or practised much in too long

Don't have a tuned guitar to hand to test it out but it's the same notes only a bit simpler.

I like this suggestion, my ex gave me a copy of Norah Jones's debut album years ago, so the songs have a certain resonance to me.

The picking and fingering are nicely tricky

It looks like there may be some travis picking involved
I like that folk-y style, it feels proper guitar-y.

I can't believe you vetoed Ghostbusters, you could have done that little walking dance they do at the end too. Are you insane?

Yeah, I like the walking dance.

You're not going to have a typical, boring, girly wedding though, are you?

No.
I've already got my shoes. They're electric blue shiny faux-snakeskin from Peacocks, only cost a tenner, and I'm decorating them with glittery clip-on earrings and ribbon.

Stylish.

The groom intends to wear a skirt so yeah, a bit girly.

I think 'Death of a Clown' by The Kinks
is particularly good on acoustic. Especially for the chorus if you alternate the strumming on the root note kind of thing. Ahem.

Oh and the obligatory Sunny Afternoon / Waterloo Sunset....
