Current Set: Excuses to Play Guitar For a Few Minutes

Here’s my 2026 set list. Each song is an excuse to play guitar for a few minutes. Some have lyrics, but even those are mostly guitar.

Refreshing

An experiment in 3/4 time. It’s boppy, kinda pop. I think the lead plays off the background synths well. I like that about this song.

Misty Run

This song is, in fact, the first song I called “an excuse to play guitar for a few minutes”. It has a few lyrics to call it a song, but it’s mostly an excuse to play guitar.

Guitar Lick Profile Pic

If a guitar lick could be a profile pic, this would be mine. My collection of guitar lick profile pics in one song.

Iko Iko

A fun singalong, “Talkin’ ’bout hey now”. A great reason to strum guitar for a few minutes.

Johnny B. Goode

My take on rocked up twelve-bar blues in the form of Johnny B. Goode, inspired by the interpretation of Jimi Hendrix of a song written by Chuck Berry.

Bonus Song

Show Me The Way to Go Home

This version is a little melancholy, though I didn’t expect that when I started playing with it. Makes for a possible singalong. If the crowd is ready, it leads to a strummy upbeat singalong to finish the set.
