Busking Songs...

Does anyone have experience busking with cigar box guitars? What are your favourite songs to play? Not been playing CBG long but got the bug and started working out which songs I'd like to learn and go out to play. So far started with ....

Roadhouse blues

The boys are back in town

Walk of life

Don't look back into the sun.

What are your recommendations?

    Ok, Ray. I do not busk but do play at markets with my display. I have not responded earlier because I do not play popular music. Well, maybe enough to put a couple in here and there. And it depends on what type of guitar I'm playing.

    I play blues, and I find it goes down well, most people know of the blues but rarely see it played. So that's what I do. Many of the popular, folk, or country songs, I do are instrumental. I think people will stop and listen to anything presented well.
    Even Straus, open tuning, with a slide, in G, and don't worry about a backing track. Hahaha.

       You know I wanna hear it... Probably not the only one.
