I've lately been trying to find good songs to sing and play at the same time. I've done a little Skynyrd and some Bob Dylan. I need some more though. Also, does any one have good songs to do with a harmonica? Preferably songs with a harmonica in the ket of C. (cause that's the only one I have )
Thanks in advance!

House of the Rising sun by Bob Dylan is way cool

[dadfad]

A key of C harmonica is good for tunes in both the key of C ("straight"-harp...like Dylan, country, etc) and tunes in the key of G ("cross"-harp... like blues, rock'n'roll, etc). Straight is blow-based, one-hole blow is the tonic. Cross is draw-based, two-hole draw is the tonic.

House of the Rising sun by Bob Dylan is way cool

does bob dylan do a cover the song? i've never heard it, but have heard of it. i've always just thought that the animals recorded it, although it wouldn't suprise me to hear he did a cover.

Blues Traveler ("hook" and "run around") and Tom Petty ("last dance with mary jane" and "roll another joint" (i forgot what the actual title of that song is) are some good acoustic/harmonica songs... not sure if their in C though.

nevermind about the dylan thing. i got his first album the other day, "bob dylan," and he does a pretty cool acoustic version of "house of the rising sun," and i looked at the tabs on the site, but they didn't seem to be right on, but i suck.

I suppose it depends how you define 'good'

Some I enjoy singing and playing - and since I've only been playing for 6 or 7 months they can't be too hard:

Brown Eyed Girl
Norwegian Wood
Summer of 69
The Last Time
The Trees (my own, slowed down full acoustic version after simplifying the guitar part a bit!)
Come away with me
Lone Star

I guess your best bet is to have a think about the songs you'd like to sing and then see if anyone has done a tab for them or work it out for yourself. Be prepared to simplify the accompaniment if you are singing as well.

As for harmonica: How on earth do you manage that while singing???!!!

Well, this is a tough one, but once you can play and sing this at the same time, and have another guitarist playing with you, it's very impressive.

Incubus - Drive

I can't do it myself, but in my Youth Group when I was in High School, a couple guys did it and I was amazed.

And I have to throw these in because I'm a Dashboard Confessional fan.

Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down, and A Plain Morning

both are good emo songs, if you're in to that.

The acoustic cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd song Simple Man, by Shine Down. (kinda needs two guitars though).

Other songs include,

Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven, Layla (seems to me are overly suggest here, but good nonetheless).

That should get you started.
