Hello all, I started learning guitar with justinguitar in 2018 and it’s been wonderful. I started a small project in 2018. The goal of my project is to be able to play all 500 songs from the Rolling stones 500 best songs of all time, few every year. After a fairly long gap, I’m now working on my 2024 list, in the meantime for some motivation thought i could maybe share my last one from 2020. Do share any feedback and inputs that you may have and i could use that on my 2024 setlist :slight_smile: - Here’s the link to my 2020 project - https://youtu.be/v42NUDilQQI?si=yzuta1RzmvVuJn2d

Great source of inspiration, Vivek, though we should avoid debating the merits of their list :rofl:

At work so no opportunity to listen but I did edit your post to use the form of link that embeds the video. You should use links starting youtube.com rather than youtu.be

Well that was a bit of a click-bait title Vivek. What you mean is Rolling Stone Magazine project.
Wow, learn to play 500 songs. Depends on what standard of play you want to achieve I suppose. At 2 songs a month that’ll by my reckoning take you around 20 years! Good luck on remembering how to play the first 10 songs by the time you get to the last 10. :smiley:

Anyway, the ones you’ve given us here were played to a pretty good standard so well done on your project so far. I hope I’m still around when you get to the end of it all! :grin:

I have edited the title Gordon.

There is a very big difference between

The Rolling Stones 500 greatest songs

and

Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 greatest song list

:slight_smile:

Great song choices, Vivek, enjoyed the performances. How many songs do you aim to learn in a year from that edition of the list?

Thank you David. Oh yes i realize it’s a debatable list, guess it’s never going to be easy to categorically rank songs like that, tastes and opinions vary. Thanks so much for getting the right link embedded. Will keep that in mind next time

Oh yes! I realize i should have been more specific about the title. Sorry about that. I’m hoping i’ll pick up speed as i start getting more comfortable and proficient. Hopefully not 20 years :slight_smile: I’m sure im going to come up with some favorites that i’ll revisit and explore more deeply… for now just enjoying the ride great if i manage to do all 500, i’d have learnt a lot about skills, geners, artists and history even if i managed only half of it, but for now it’s one of those nice objective goals to chase :grinning:
