If I were to do a daily video, I have a list, I don't have the freedom. Wife working from home doing online engineering support, kid going stir-crazy, stimming on remixing Disney videos...

But if I could, I would do these:

Set list

For No One

Yesterday

Darling Be Home Soon

Heaven Knows

Fall at Your Feet

GladRags and HandBags

Believe in you

Seems Like a Long Time

Your Song

It Ain't Me

Let it Be Me

Softly

White Flag

School

Desperado

pick one

Do you have a Nashville tuned guitar RobertW ?

Our house high-strung guitar is an old Yamaha FG-75 that was my wife's first guitar. I've reworked the nut, but the saddle remains intonated for regular tuning. It's quite bearable.

I'd love to hear some high-strung tunes.

Yes I converted my old '98 S6, using the octave strings from a 12 string set. Did not fool around with nut or saddle. It is verrry interesting.

I haven't used it much for solo stuff, only for adding a different sound to a group situation and accompanying classes of kids when I was teaching a few decades ago.
I'll have to try to work something upon the high strung.
I'd love to hear something from you.

Tunes we have done on FB in the last couple weeks:

Victory in Jesus
Red Letters
Where you there
Because He lives

Because He Lives is one of my present all-time favorite praise songs! Love listening to it, but love playing and singing it even more! The message of truth and hope coupled with the music and arrangement just does something to me. I just can't walk away from playing that song in any sort of mood other than being charged with encouragement and joy.

To the topic though, if I had the time that others have being stuck in, I'd probably make a whole bunch of parody vids. LOL! Driving my truck around lately, for some reason, all kinds of lyrics for parody songs have been coming to me like crazy. (maybe I'm starting to crack! Ha ha!

)

Just wish I had the time to do something. Life has gotten so crazy busy and looks like it's heading to get even busier. Who knows, maybe I'll get a turn to relax during this thing at some point. If not, ah well, que sera sera.

=====================================
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

Oh. I thought it was me asking people to pick a song from my list that I'll force myself to try to shoot.

anyways taking the two car shelters down today. I will break at least 3 nails badly and possibly dislocate an elbow again.

RobertW , I have to admit I'd read the original post as TonyKgull seems to have, that you were saying that you didn't have the time or opportunity right now, but here are the songs you'd record if you did, doing one daily. I had no clue from "If I were to do a daily video, I have a list, I don't have the freedom... But if I could, I would do these..." that you wanted people to pick one song for you to do—only that if you ever found the time, these are the songs you'd do.

Me, I'd pick "Yesterday", "Desperado," or "Your Song."

I guess my 'pick one' was a bit ambiguous... sometimes I think everyone can read my mind...

@sleigh , it seems YOU can read my mind, these are probabaly my top 3 choices.

"Me, I'd pick "Yesterday", "Desperado," or "Your Song.""
