good acoustic songs

[Jfons]

anybody got any really good acoustic songs?

[Kurt Cobain]

I don't know what kind of bands your into just tell me what kind of bands your in to and I'll send you some !!!!!!

well when im playin my acoustic, im more of a finger picking kinda guy, but for starters try

1. dust in the wind - kansas
2. never go back again - fleetwood mac
3. landslides - fleetwood mac

but if those are a little to hard at first then just try some pretty easy onse such as wish you were here by pink floyd, and or tangerine by led zeppelin, maybe just the intro and the basic chords to that if it might be a bit hard. good luck

One of my favorites is Redemption Song by Bob Marley.

[charvelallstars]

Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here? is a classic and nice and easy. Anything by Dylan, (assuming you have a capo) and what about **** Her Gently by Tenacious D - childishly amusing lyrics and sure to impress.

Oh, man, I love the acoustic stuff. I like to play along w/Toad the Wet Sprocket (all of them), R.E.M. Automatic for the People...Counting Crows translates well to acoustic play and practice. Great song on the new Hard Candy disc...Carriage...check it out.

Dust in the Wind...good choice, man! Classic.

[afallingleaf]

Oh, and I forgot King's X...lots of good stuff on Gretchen, but each lp has it's good acoustic stuff.

Ty likes the drop D also, which I think is beautiful.

Carriage is an f-in awesome song. Come to think of it...most of their songs are. Sullivan Street is another great CC song that works well on acoustic.

[GibsonSG]

I just started working on Over the Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin last night, great acoustic song... well... mostly acoustic.

[se77en221]

angie - rolling stones one of my fav. acoustic songs ever

layla (acoustic)- clapton awesome song converted to acoustic

and go for yesterday - beatles or lennon or whatever one you wanna put it under nice soothing song to play

[afallingleaf]

bugman, you are a man after my own heart.

[Schatten]

Dashboard Confessional - Screaming Infidelities.

Try that.

[weebs42]

Dashboard stuff is good...but if your a newb. and dont know that much bout tuning i wouldnt do it yourself .. my friend tried and a broke a string ... well a few strings .. haha

[MIKEVICE]

Any Dave Matthews sounds good on acoustic, unfortunetely I cant play their stuff yet,
but if your asking I assume you can.

[MIKEVICE]

Trippin billies
number 41
say goodbye
satelite
crash
pretty much anything on the crash album

[bugman]

I second the DMB vote.

Unfortunately, Billies doesn't sound as full without a band behind it.

Gravedigger sounds spectacular acoustic.

Also:
I'll Back You Up
Christmas Song
Don't Drink the Water

Try warehouse by DMB, it's not that hard and it sounds really cool. Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits also sounds good with an acoustic. A lot of Tom Pety is good also.

[AnTroXCitYxXx]

Carnage- by the Ataris, awesome awesome acoustic

[blueseptember]

im not sure how skilled you are but here are some...

Crash-DMB is a really good acoustic
Comfortable, No Such Thing-John Mayer are really good in my opinion.

um...also some Howie Day, he has great acoustic songs

[blueseptember]

oh and...
Hands Down-Dashboard Confessional is really good...make sure you find an acoustic part though because they have many different versions to the song.

[poguemahone]

REM

[dkitt]

One Step Up -Bruce Springsteen. Ridiculously simple and satisfying.

Most of the stuff off of Joni Mitchell's Blue ablum played by Steven Stills.

Zep's The Rain Song sounds great acoustcally. I wish I could figure out how to play it in standard tuning - anybody know?

George Harrison's My Sweet Lord.

[Briansgone]

It's funny, but Tenacious D does have some pretty good acoustic stuff (like "Cosmic Shame" and "Keilbasa Sausage"). Dispatch has some good acoustic stuff, but most of it is pretty easy. Also, I really like Metallica's "One" and "Nothing Else Matters" on acoustic.
