What's your favorite PJ song to play? I just started playing Down today, and I would have to say, that's my favorite PJ song to play on guitar. :)

    Everytime I pick up any guitar I fool around with Ledbetter..........

    Others though:

    Alive
    I Am Mine
    Betterman
    Elderly Woman
    "I Miss You Already!!!!!"

    "Sorry is the fool who trades his love for high-rise rent, Seems the more you make equals the loneliness you get"

    I have the same thing. Once I get a guitar in tune, it's always YLB. Than whatever I want to play. Almost every time too.

    I can't help but to blow the intro to even flow
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I just learned Inside Job and I love playing that one, but every time I get an acoustic the first thing I end up playing is always Corduroy.

    I'm on the getting-kinda-good end of learning to play chords on the piano, and I really like playing Black, Elderly Woman and the "Oh, if I don't lose control" etc part of Severed Hand. I only do that part, 'cause it's the only part I can sing.

    i love playing Alive, but my favourite has to be Given To Fly, i learnt that on an accoustic and it sounded brilliant, then tried it on the electric and it sounded even better.
    ' take 2 bottles into the shower?......not me, I've got no fucking hair!'
