In other words... How do you put a twist on those tired old songs that you try to omit from your set list, but people (namely the loud girl with a drink her hand) keep requesting anyways?
I know some have done speed metal mashups.... this is the thread to share your ideas.
For me (acoustic solo or trio) I do a lot of island/beach/reggae songs, so I tried to make "Brown Eye'd Girl" sound more in the Jimmy Buffett end of the spectrum.
I capo at the third fret and strum these riffs and chords like a uke or mandolin:
e|3---5---7---5--3-----3--10--12--10---3----3---5---7---5--3--------x---------------|
B|3---3---3---3--3-----3---3---3---3---3----3---3---3---3--3----7---x---7--8--7---- |
G|4---4---4---4--4-----9---9---9---9---9----4---4---4---4--4----7---x---7-—7-—7-----|x2
D|5---5---5---5--5----10--10--10--10--10----5---5---5---5--5----7---x---7--7--7-----|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------5---x---5--5--5-----|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chords used:
......(G).....(C).......(D).....(Em)......(D7)
e|-----3-------x-------x-------7-------5--------|
B|-----3-------5-------7-------8-------7--------|
G|-----4-------5-------7-------9-------5--------|
D|-----5-------5-------7-------9-------7--------|
A|-----5-------3-------5-------7-------5--------|
E|-----3-------x-------x-------x-------x--------|
The chords are strummed/muted in that "una-chaka-una-chaka" for that extra island-y feel.
G C G D
Hey, where did we go days when the rain came
G C G D
Down in the hollow playing a new game
G C G D
Laughing, and a running, hey, hey Skipping and a jumping
G C G D7 C
in the misty morning fog, with our hearts a thumpin' and you,
D7 G Em
my brown eyed girl
C D7 G D
You, my brown eyed girl
etc...
