Hi all

Hi all. I'm looking for suggestions for popular songs that are easy to play on the guitar. I want to expand the videos with scrolling chords and lyrics on my YouTube channel. Thanks in advance!

That's an interesting selection of songs. And at the risk of sounding corny, I was thinking about an older song like Hank Williams Sr's 'I'm so lonesome I could cry' or 'I can't help if I'm still in love with you' or 'Have I told you lately'. Maybe even the song 'I can't tell you why', by the Eagles.... Just a thought... I can't wait to hear the final product.

not sure what the meaning of popular is in this contex
google search for popular easy to play acoustic guitar songs

a review of the top 20 songs by decade may be fruitful

Kajun, George and Mike. Thanks for the responses. Will check out the resources and songs you have suggested.

An interesting thing is happening with my "videos with scrolling chords and lyrics" youtube videos. I have been making a few with scrolling chords and lyrics to the original song so that people who are learning to play guitar can strum along to the original track, without having to sing or anything.

A couple of these have been picked up by Youtube and placed in their "Top tracks" playlists. For example, my video of Lionel Richie's recording of "Stuck on You" (with scrolling chords and lyrics) has got 40K views and 100 and something likes from being placed in their curated playlist "Top Tracks - Lionel Richie". Other songs that have been picked up include Elton John's Daniel, Bob Dylan's Blowin' in the Wind, Dixie Chicks Loving Arms, The Bee Gees Massachusetts and a couple of others. So, I am looking for more songs along these lines

Please Note; with Youtube's content ID system I am not receiving the revenue from these videos since this revenue goes to the original rights holders on the songs. It is, however, great exposure for the rest of my channel.


For those who are interested Here is a link to these videos

Oh, I'm sorry, Joanne, I misunderstood what you were looking for. I was under the impression you were going to record the songs and sing them yourself.... You'll have to shoot a bit lower, I'm riding a Shetland. laugh

P.S. I like what you're doing with the scrolling chords videos

Ha ha! Thanks Kajun.. Wish I had time to sing and record a song a day. I think that is a great way to get exposure on Youtube.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
