I need to play 2 songs on guitar to get accepted into a school. I have 2 and a half weeks to learn them, so suggestions should come FAST. I was thinking Bouree and The Runaway, but that won't work, so SUGGESTTTTT

Hocus Pocus, to showcase my chords, or Mood For A Day, for technicality, or Classical Gas, to impress them with my musical knowledge?

What kind of stuff do you have to play?
I don't know a school where you would get accepted by playing Genesis or Yes.

I'd get accepted playing Twinkle Twinkle, I just need songs to play.

The interlude on Hazards of Love is pretty, how about that? I think that is a guitar.

Classical guitar.

If you want something flashy then you could use YTSE Jam by Dream Theatre
Also King Crimson is always a good one too because its more subtle

Maybe some song by Nick Drake. Three Hours will impress them, I guess.

I think I'd be more suitable playing the first HoL than the Interlude, but still, I don't think they'd work.

I really, really, really don't think that'd work
