I dunno.... i mean see what everyone's saying about not covering dylan, the fall, and SY... so far the bulk of people... and jimi... but i still feel it's ok to come up with your own interpretations if you feel you have a connection with the song and wanna play it. Like I wouldn't mind learning how to play memphis blues (it would be fun to jam on with a band) or an sy song.
I mean i'm learning 'johnny b. goode' right now which I'd say probably fits up there with a lot of what's been mentioned... i think the difference is that i just want to learn as I see it as a mantra, moto, to the guitar itself and just fun as hell to play.

But, just to be fair, i think we're mainly talking about recorded covers that are genreally shit.
