I am always amazed at people's capacity to share information for the betterment of others. This is a perfect video for this topic. Most people just want to hear the songs they recognize and when someone says, "play a song", this little bag of goodies is a great set of crowd pleasers.
I just love your truth about what the normal folks party with and not what so called guitar players think😂 im 69 and play that what i love to see people havein fun
Great video. I appreciate the format of you giving us the “ideas” and not just a tutorial. Also I enjoy how it’s like I’m in the room with you and it’s a conversation rather than just a video. Great video!!!
@@FrankPersico Must admit, I think it's a terrible dirge. The Oasis song I think works really well is "Half the World Away". It also reminds people in the UK of a very popular TV programme which used it as a theme (The Royle Family)
I was 30 seconds in and immediately hit the subscribe button. I want to start playing again but I'm having a huge cervical spine surgery on 10/15/24 (it'll be my 32nd overall) and currently can't use my left arm. Your channel is going to be an excellent launching pad for me when I recover. Thank you for being such an outstanding teacher, paesan!
Thank you so much for doing these, you give me hope that someday I will be able to entertain a bunch of folks in a bar, at a wedding, a festival, etc. And I know you aren't lying because there are no signs of combustion emanating from your pantaloons. Please keep doing these!
Good riddance is one of the songs that people of that generation wanted to learn to play guitar and sing along! I am a bit older, but I picked that one and I love it! I didn't know Santeria, I will give it a listen! Great Video, cheers, Frank from germany!
You are awesome! Great taste in music and right to the point! Thank you! I appreciate all the advice! I have done a few gigs and need more songs to get to the next level. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Sometimes you have to take certain liberties when you strip a song down and find a groove that works for you. Even if it’s a compromise. Thanks for the comment
great vid. for us 90s music fans this vid could have went on for a 1000 hrs and only scratched a page of the songs we love. my brain is scrolling like a rolodex. i had over 200 CDs when i had my biggest collection of music. now its all on here.
I really enjoy this channel. It kind of gives me the courage to maybe go play some open mics. Learning from you has kind of showed me that I have what it takes, just practice, go out there and have fun, but definitely have a game plan.
The best way to teach any half competent guitarist is to just post an acoustic cover of the song. I would love to see all of these covers on your channel
thanks for the comment. i used to play a lot more covers on my channel but since its gotten more traction (the channel) im more fearful of copyright strikes and takedown notices. This has become more of an issue for creators recently. :(
As someone who cut his teeth on 80s hair metal, where the playing was technically far far more complicated, I can play all these songs with both hands tied behind my back. But This statement is not to brag, it is only to put in to context and set up my next statement, that is, as someone who is qualified to assess, such things, YOU are an excellent teacher. I clicked on your video from curiosity to see what these must learn songs from the 90s are, and I watched the whole video just because I enjoyed your presentation. You are a great teacher.
perfect best guitar video I've seen in a long time on youtube for self-taught guitarists understood in the way that you teach yourself to play through youtube and your ear card precise instruction you provide the tool for how to make it its basic form you can so easily get into the groove of rhythm and chord changes and forget why one would want to learn a song by heart and can sit down and play with a melody once you know your basics, you easily get absorbed by theory and people like Rick Beato and hit a wall where you can't absorb and continue the journey you really set out on with his instrument nice for me personally to be kicked back so that you can collect your knowledge and skills after a long break and just say fuck I can play an instrument without being joe stiff w srv but just you and smile a little fantastik video tunsen thank you brother
Just stumbled on your channel. Had a huge gap we’re I didn’t do music sadly. I am progressing, and building a little set of covers to mix in with my own material. Definitely added about a girl and good riddance. Thank you! I appreciate you! Good job! Keep it up! ❤
Welcome aboard! No regrets for stepping away. Sometimes it’s the best thing for us in the long run. I did a video about this that is coming out soon. Glad to hear u are back and working on your music!🎵
@@FrankPersico Thanks, man! I appreciate those words a lot! I use to feel bad. I’m progressing much faster. Compared to those garage band days in high school. Not so distracted and all over the place like use to be. Just extreme focus and determination now.
Black-Pearl Jam Nutshell - Alice In Chains Nirvana- The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie Cover) Temple of the Dog - Call Me a Dog Jeff Buckley-Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen Cover) I’d have to do some rearranging on a few to make them more suitable for acoustic, but those are my 5.
Man, a) your voice is not that off, so good enough. B) Your singing makes it way more feasible. C) whoever complains afterwards should go and funk themselves. Thanks for making music easier ✌🏻
@@FrankPersico I had a buddy who played covers in an acoustic duo and they had a "Brown Eyed Girl" spwrate tip jar. You had to put 10 in and they'd play BEG. He said a couple nights they played it many times over.
Love this video, some of my favourites and even one that I forgot (Hootie&the Blowfish) 🙂 I always add a second Greenday track in my setlist: Welcome to Paradise
Free Bird.. played a 20 mins rendition of it at the fire hours the other days.. people went crazy over it. You gotta have a full band for that song though
Sweet video, I had to pull out my guitar and play a little with you. I think I need to start listening to songs more. In the Nirvana change I was playing C#minor and F.#minor. I think I'm going to learn Sateria
Dude 1st time I watch ur show, very entertaining, good guitar skills as well as good voice!!! I like all those songs and have played a few too!!! What about creep from Radiohead? That’s a winner too
Great video and content, as always. Thank you. Since you asked, some 90's songs/bands I love to hear at solo guitar gigs are: Goo Goo Dolls, "Name", "Iris"; Collective Soul, "Run", "World I Know"; U2, "One", "With our Without You" (from '87); GNR, "Patience"; Pearl Jam, "Black"; a very polarizing song here, but I love 4 Non Blondes, "What's Up"; REM, "Losing My Religion", "Man on the Moon"; Tracy Chapman, "Gimmi One Reason", "Fast Car" (though technically released in '88); Cranberries, "Zombie"; Tom Petty, "Learning to Fly", "Into the Great Wide Open", "Free Fallin'" (1989) How many of these are in your set lists, Frank?
Doot!! Nice to see a familiar face in the comments lol. I play the REM song losing my religion..patience… black.. learning to fly… free fallin… one and with or without you
Thanks, this is real added value in my opinion 👍
thank you so much for the generosity!. cheers!

Your voice is just fine. Your channel is entertaining and the lessons are great. Bravo sir.
Thanks so much..I appreciate it
From a pro. I have to say for early easy songs and how to play them this is a great video
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it
100% agree! (from a Busch league semi-pro)
You are so genuine. That is refreshing these days.
Thanks I appreciate it
Bro
You’re amazing. I can’t thank you enough for just being you and what you do and how you do it. Much respect brutha.
I just love your truth about what the normal folks party with and not what so called guitar players think😂 im 69 and play that what i love to see people havein fun
To me that is the whole point of it all. At least at this stage in my life …
Great video. I appreciate the format of you giving us the “ideas” and not just a tutorial. Also I enjoy how it’s like I’m in the room with you and it’s a conversation rather than just a video. Great video!!!
thanks so much.
Wonderwall for the Win! People love it!
thats true.. love it or hate it. it works!
@@FrankPersico Must admit, I think it's a terrible dirge. The Oasis song I think works really well is "Half the World Away". It also reminds people in the UK of a very popular TV programme which used it as a theme (The Royle Family)
I find if you pick one of the other popular oasis songs people go mad for it. Wonderwall can be hit or miss, unless everyone's already plastered.
Well they are going on tour next year! 😂
I was 30 seconds in and immediately hit the subscribe button.

Thanks for the kind words and I wish you all the best with your surgery. We will be here for ya when you recover :)
Keep on doing 90s greatest, pleeeze. You are a really an inspiration
greetings from germany
Thanks I will!! All the best to you!
Hootie’s Let her cry, Matchbox 20 Push, 3am, Sound Garden Black Hole Sun…
great suggestions.
Lol. Those are the songs you put??? Hahahaha what a winner
Nutshell is AIC's most under-rated song, and the acoustic version is peak grunge.
Thank you so much for doing these, you give me hope that someday I will be able to entertain a bunch of folks in a bar, at a wedding, a festival, etc. And I know you aren't lying because there are no signs of combustion emanating from your pantaloons. Please keep doing these!
You absolutely can!!! Thanks so much for the comment. Cheers to u!
Bravo from the UK, and Thankyou!
My pleasure
I remember when I first saw wonderwall
Being played live it blow the crowd away. A simple song which became iconic of a time….
That it did for sure! 👍
Good riddance is one of the songs that people of that generation wanted to learn to play guitar and sing along! I am a bit older, but I picked that one and I love it! I didn't know Santeria, I will give it a listen! Great Video, cheers, Frank from germany!

This is really great, Frank! I’ve been trying to figure out a good rhythm for Santeria for a while and I think you’ve got it right here.
Glad it was helpful! Sometimes you have to take certain liberties when you strip a song down and find a groove that works for you. Even if it’s a compromise. Thanks for the comment

Not often do guitar tutorials treat you with singing as well. It’s very helpful. Thanks mate. Really dig the hint of Brooklyn accent there too.
Thanks so much . Cheers

I miss them too!!
This is absolutely excellent thank you so much, Frank.

Thanks Frank! I’m thinking about starting to play pubs. This is a great tutorial. Uk resident.
Go for it!
Great sense of humour & choice of songs 😃

Awesome welcome!
Great video! Love the Tele on the shelf behind you 🎸🎶
ahhh me too. thats my 52 reissue... maybe i should put her in some new vids.. its been a minute for her
I wish you’d play out here in Wisconsin - better yet pack up wife and kids and move here.
You would definitely cheer up any environment.❤
Haha u never know!!
Appreciate them songs not too many people play them anymore nice to learn to have them
Thanks enjoy!
Thanks. Frank ! You sing pretty good ! Don't let em talk you out of it? They're just jealous. 👏👏👏
I appreciate that. Lol I don’t worry about the haters. Cheers
Loved the vid frank it’s good that you teach a few songs I couldn’t teach I tried but I haven’t got the patience ha ha ha
Thanks Rob. Hahaah take deep breaths lol
great teacher !
Thanks enjoy!
Definitely add Everlong to that list nice easy acoustic song that also gets a big thumbs up from most
Good call!
Awesome instruction and easy to follow. Bonus for the NE accent.👊🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great voice, brother.
Thanks so much
Very good instruction, you I’m sure know what a WonderWall is? Thanks again‼️
Thanks so much! What is it I actually don’t lol
You're doing a great job, its an Eareye-opener, even for me
Thanks so much.
Yaay sublime
lol yesss
perfect best guitar video I've seen in a long time on youtube for self-taught guitarists understood in the way that you teach yourself to play through youtube and your ear
card precise
instruction
you provide the tool for how to make it its basic form
you can so easily get into the groove of rhythm and chord changes
and forget why one would want to learn a song by heart
and can sit down and play with a melody
once you know your basics, you easily get absorbed by theory and people like Rick Beato and hit a wall where you can't absorb and continue the journey you really set out on
with his instrument
nice for me personally to be kicked back so that you can collect your knowledge and skills after a long break and just say fuck I can play an instrument without being joe stiff w srv but just you and smile a little fantastik video tunsen thank you brother
Thanks so much. i really appreciate the kind words and support!
DUDE…You rock 👍😁
Thanks:)
Great song choices!
Thanks so much
great video!
Thanks!
Damn bro, I miss those 90’s tunes. Thought I was the only one still jamming those riffs 😂
Ughh me to. Loved the 90s
Cool video , thanks man 👍

Living on the edge
Great suggestion
Black-Pearl Jam
Nutshell - Alice In Chains
Nirvana- The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie Cover)
Temple of the Dog - Call Me a Dog
Jeff Buckley-Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen Cover)
I’d have to do some rearranging
on a few to make them more suitable for acoustic, but those are my 5.
Love em.
Nothing like the sound of a Gibson acoustic
I’m deff happy with this one. I named her “Breadwinner” 😂
Brilliant 😊
Thanks so much
New sub💪🏻💪🏻
Welcome aboard!
0:11 yes 😬 but i'll throw caution to the wind and trust you anyway
You sure??? lol
Just found your channel. Love it! Plenty of ideas for songs to play and sing plus I can use my looper! ( must get a battery first!)
Thanks and welcome.
Man, a) your voice is not that off, so good enough. B) Your singing makes it way more feasible. C) whoever complains afterwards should go and funk themselves. Thanks for making music easier ✌🏻
My pleasure. I appreciate the comment ..cheers
Didn't know Bill Burr was hiding mad guitar skills. Nice video!
Lolol that’s funny. Thanks for the comment :)
Haha he doesn’t look like bill burr maybe if you squint your eyes
Wonderwall requires a huge tip
😂
❤😂 fuk yeah played 20 years never learned the song. Great quick video love it
@@FrankPersico I had a buddy who played covers in an acoustic duo and they had a "Brown Eyed Girl" spwrate tip jar. You had to put 10 in and they'd play BEG. He said a couple nights they played it many times over.
@@Quinn37 hahahah thats great
@@Quinn37 great business acumen, I'll have to give it a try
I actually like your voice
Thanks so much
I have tried over 40 years learning my mum new songs on guitar she plays as well she’s 82 and still tries to rock ha haha
Wow that’s amazing. All the best to ur mom. An inspiration indeed to us all
FROM A NON PRO 10/10

Hahaha not Yankees??? ;);)
Dude 1st time I watch ur show, very entertaining, good guitar skills as well as good voice!!! I like all those songs and have played a few too!!! What about creep from Radiohead? That’s a winner too
Rock on! That’s a great suggestion!
LOL “fly in the ointment.” I’m using that from now on for those certain chords.
Hahaha
