I like to play melodic stuff, using finger picks and a slide on fretted CBG's
Some I have been picking today,

Mo Ghillie Mar (my hero). Music of Spey. Loch Lommond.
Columbus stockade blues. Long journey home. Give my love to Rose.
Dirty old town. A song for Ireland. Auld lang syne. Wild mountain thyme.
Long black veil. The dawning of the day.

Just about anything that pops into my head that I think that I can play.

Blind Bot Fuller tunes. Not many tho. I haven't been concentrating on making them CBG songs.
Cold Frosty Morning, Ballydesmond Polka, Red Haired Boy, Ook Pik Waltz, Margaret's Waltz, and working on North Carolina Breakdown.
well i havent had mine together long so i am still trying to figure it out. but i tend to just make it up as i go.
Haven't been playing much lately,to much to get done before the snow flies, when I have found some free time I've been working my first CBG.

Saturday I did sit down for awhile and beat on my Johnson, Guitar that is, I worked some slide into a slow version of Wild Wood Flower which sounded pretty good, better than my usual renditions which sound like a dieing cat. (:>}

Lou.
Rev. Gary Davis tunes (for humility), Hank Williams' "Move It On Over" (great with slide on a 1-5-1 three banger), Mississippi Shieks' "Sittin' on Top of the World" (another great three-banger song), Son Hosue's "Death Letter", Kid Taylor's "Rowdy Blues", Freddy King's "Hideaway".
Your playlist sounds great. Maybe try some sea chanties, perhaps? Speaking for myself, I'm recording original music while trying to "tame" my latest build ( a 12 string, if you can believe that! ). Check out my page for pics of some of my madness. Cheers!
