Good Acoustic Guitar Songs

I'm looking for suggestions for good acoustic guitar songs. I'm a pretty good guitar player so most stuff I could figure out.

What I really want is romantic stuff or nice stuff that I could play to a girl. I was thinking about driving this girl out to the park one night with a blanket and my acoustic guitar and playing some songs while we stargaze and such. Cute, I know....

Here some songs I already know and can play well on the acoustic that I think might (?) work:

Eric Clapton - Layla, Change the World
Jack Johnson - Taylor
James Taylor - Fire and Rain
Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter

Well, not all perfect choices but just some stuff I know that sounds pretty Thanks for any suggestions!

Hmmmm....fun thread:

Try -

Beatles - Anything by them...really, all their songs can be played acoustically.
ok fine....here you go
Here There & Everywhere
Something
Yesterday

Jimi Hendrix - Angel (acoustic version) - tough arrangement though - romantic
Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing
Babyface - When Can I See You

Oh yeah, good call on Change the World, especially while stargazing.

Uh oh, brain freeze, can't think. I'll get back to you later....good luck!

Cool, I haven't learned Angel yet but I will get on that.

Little Wing is good. I have the intro mastered, I have it prefect. But I can not sing and play what Jimi Hendrix plays because the rythems screw me up. Maybe I could just play the chords during the verse and the chorus and throw an improv solo in there and then finish it up with the intro played again... my own arrangement.

If you want to hear a GREAT acoustic song, find Fuel's cover of Elton John's "Daniel"

That is an AMAZING version of that song.

Ben Harper - Live from Mars - Disc 2. The whole cd is awsome, but If I had to pick:

Track 2: Roses from my friends
Track 6: The drugs dont work (The Verve Cover)

I got to also agree with Pink Floyd - Wish you were here. and GN'R Patience

Wait a minute:

What does she like? I think it'd be great if you could "surprise" her with her favorite songs.

Oh, try Van Morrison - Crazy Love (simple, melodic, romantic)

If you want an mp3 of Jimi Hendrix - Angel, I will e-mail a copy to you. It's a good song to have anyways. Or you could always search for it on a p2p.

Macguyver mentioned the Rain Song; a liitle out of sync, some mistakes but reasonable tab. Sorry if posting tabs are a no-no

Actually man, I didnt read the part of "romantic for your girlfriend" when I first posted. I know I'm all about Ben Harper but you got to at least listen to it.

Google for "Ben Harper Forever Tabs" (I would post a link, but most of the ones I found had your usual popup mess)

Here are the Lyrics, total romace.

Quote:
Forever

Not talkin’ ’bout a year
No not three or four
I don’t want that kind of forever
In my life anymore
Forever always seems
To be around when it begins
But forever never seems
To be around when it ends
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

People spend so much time
Every single day
Runnin’ ’round all over town
Givin’ their forever away
But no not me
I won’t let my forever roam
And now I hope I can find
My forever a home
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

Like a handless clock with numbers
An infinite of time
No not the forever found
Only in the mind
Forever always seems
To be around when things begin
But forever never seems
To be around when things end
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do
From you

MacGuyver.....TRIBUTE by TENACIOUS D?? Wha...? The rest of your list is pretty good, though.

I Will - Beatles (she will fall apart)

Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison and Closer To Fine by Indigo Girls - these songs define the term "chick magnet." I used to play them in the dorm and time how long it took for a girl to walk in.

St. Patrick's Day by John Mayer
Daughters by John Mayer

And now, here's a list of songs beginning with "W" that all happen to rock wimmen's worlds. (I didn't mean for it to be all W's, it just happened that way.)

Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
What A Good Boy - Barenaked Ladies (a little sad, but a pretty song)
Walk On The Ocean - Toad The Wet Sprocket
Wildflowers - Tom Petty

I'm sure more will come to me...

An even better "she will fall apart" potential is Stevie Wonder's "All In Love Is Fair" done unplugged. Not for the squeamish, though; very difficult jazz chords.

If you want powerful music and acoustics, go for Bright Eyes. I suggest "Bright Eyes - First Day of my Life" for the romatic approach. The band has a lot more of that type of thing though

The Beatles - Here There and Everywhere
Kenny Loggins - Danny's Song

K-Wise, this has to be one of my favorite songs EVER. If you can perform it well acoustically, I'd love to hear a recording of it.

One of my favorite songs to hear acoustically is "Time Is Running Out" by Muse. It actually transfers pretty well to an acoustic guitar and sounds really cool when it's just stripped down.

acoustic guitar?

lots of country blues...i really like robert johnson. sometimes rev. gary davis, though my tolerances have reduced over time. chalrey patton too. there are other, but my mind is for the moment blank.

egberto gismonti
ralph towner
the first pat metheny album (maybe--not sure: bright size life)--i dont like metheney's music for the most part. a great player charting a wide path into wimpdom.
steve tibbets (particularly bye bye safe journey)

for singer songwriter types. who for the most part i find dull beyond words:
ani difranco's guitar playing is quite interesting. she writes good pop hooks. when her pieces turn up on my itunes, i do not skip them. usually.
nick drake.

a friend just passed me animal collective's "sung tongs"
i quite like the overall sound and how the acoustic guitars are knit into it. a cool record.
also, the title is almost my dog's name.

i am still trying to figure out is i like devendra banhardt or not.

Haha, have fun learning the bridge part in "Closure", that is insane.
When you hear it you'll know what I'm talking about.

Opeth - Still day beneath the sun

is a wonderful song to play as well.
