Here's a few tunes that my student's are playing. 

Some of these are arranged in keys that are easier to play than the originals, or adapted from arrangement for other instruments. Some are just like the originals. All of them are student requests.

Spring Talent Show in Parker, Colorado
Two of my long-time local students

"Seven Years Old" by Lukas Graham, Many of my students have learned this, including the nice lead-in part.

"Photograph" Ed Sheeran. Just the ending. Love the poetry

"Belle" by Jack Johnson. A request by one of my intermediate students who has been playing about 5 years.

"Yesterday" The Beatles. Great tune to learn "relative" chords. This is one of my "Lesson Examples", it also  proves why no one ever hired me to be a singer.

"Whiskey and You" Chris Stapleton version, worked this out for an adult student.

"Blackbird" by the "Beatles" Intermediate fingerstyle, lots of fun with just two fingers.

"Free Fallin"  Original by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, lately covered by John Mayer.

"Friend of the Devil" by the "Grateful Dead",  a Jerry Garcia classic.

"Knee Deep" The Zac Brown Band. For one of my teenage students.

"Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica.

Just proves what I always say, there are only two kinds of music, good and bad. When I play this for people who don't know the song, they usually ask me if it's "classical."

"Whiter Shade of Pale" Procol Harem.

This isn't classical either, and the original was done on a Hammond Organ. It is "loosely" based on Bach. I taught this by Skype to a student in S. Dakota.
