Thread: Tell me some good acoustic songs.

Hey! Just wondering if any of you know any good acoustic songs I could try learn on the guitar, maybe something upbeat, well anything really, thanks.

What kind of music do you like? The early Led Zeppelin albums have a lot of stuff that sounds great on an acoustic.

How good are you? Something like Yesterday by The Beatles is fun to play, and everyone knows it, and it's pretty easy, all open chords.

Hmm well i know all the open chords. Maybe some good tablature songs?? that arent too hard, thanks for your suggestions by the way.

Upbeat acoustic songs. That's pretty broad... mind narrowing it down a bit for us?

Jack Johnson has a lot of good upbeat-yet-chill acoustic songs. Also they will work out your bar chord chops, which is an important skill. Try out songs such as Sitting, Waiting, Wishing and Good People.

burn one down by ben harper.

definately. I was going to mention Jack Johnson myself. really good stuff

My personal favorites to play are better together, constellations, and banana pancakes.

the intro to taylor fun too but may take a bit more practice.

here's a link for a lesson on one of the songs. This guy (mrkipplinunleashed or something like that) has some pretty good lessons. might want to check it out.

Wow im surprised to hear anyone mention jack johnson, my daughters
absolute fave singer! I have to say that i didnt mind it one bit when
the peaceful sounds of JJ moved into our house a few years back...
such a relief! She even has an electric guitar complete with his
autograph. I talk to americans all the time and none of them know
about their Hawaii born son.

The Day I left the Womb by Escape the Fate is pretty upbeat.

Please disregard the crappy emo slide show.

This is quite a good acoustic song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OROAGNbsikQ It probably would take alot of effort to learn though, not even sure if it's possible with one guitar.

I'm only sleeping, by the Beatles. It's on revolver.
