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 :lol: 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.

*deep breath*

*phew* acoustic stuff.... i dont handle too much romance.

Wonderwall is always a great strumalong

GNR - Patience
Another Lonely Day, Ashes To Ashes etc etc - Ben Harper
Beatles
Phish
Kris Kristofferson

death in june
current 93

Is Led Zeppelin's song Black Mountain / White Summer accoustic?

I can't remember. Even if its not... Check it out man

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

Filter - Picture

Wow. That's all I can think of.

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.

Opeth - Closure
Opeth - Still Day Beneath the Sun
Opeth - Death Whispered a Lullabye

Just about anything from the damnation album, really.

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

Black Queen - Stephen Stills
Can't Find My Way Back Home - Blind Faith

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.

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...

Good call on Beatles - I Will

Try: John Lennon - Woman

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.

radiohead - fake plastic trees (actually, all of thier songs seem to come out well in acoustic)
foo fighters - everlong
incubus - i miss you

I have one obscure song to name;

Days Go by_Accustic Version.

Really puts a different spin on the song, then the upbeat version you're used to.

Okay heres my contribution

Pearl Jam - Thumbing My Way
Don Mclean - And I Love You So (listen to it now! If you don't win her over with that quit trying), Empty Chairs, Have You Lived
The Verve Pipe - Freshman
Silverchair - Anna's Song
Damien Rice - The Blowers Daughter (Another if you don't win her, stop trying), Amie
Starsailor - She Just Wept
Bob Welch - Sentimental Lady
Bread - If, Aubrey
David Gray - Night Blindness
Jason Mraz - Absolutely Zero (beautiful song man)
Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle, Lovers Cross, Photographs & Memories
Counting Crows - Around Here, Anna Begins
Our Lady Peace - 4 A.M.
Train - Blind, Hopeless, Mississippi
Staind - Outside, It's Been A While
3 Door Down - Be Like That
Travis - Luv
Hootie & The Blowfish - Let Her Cry (Now I love this song but I never woulda guessed girls liked it...I mean it's Hootie for Christ sakes!...But, when I was practicing for a variety show with it, and during the show they would just stare at me..in a good way..I don't know if it was the song, my voice, or just a combination of my voice and my face :|(I hope just my voice)
Rush - Tears (listen to it..it's good)
Dave Loggins - Please Come To Boston (Well I like it okay!:|)
Cat Stevens - Father And Son, The First Cut Is The Deepest

Many many more I just draw a blank after a while.

Asta!! :thumbsup:

If you like really sad acoustic songs "Bleed" and "Wasted Years" by Cold are good.

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

errr.. powerful lyrics, not .. music. Heh.

Well I said I sucked at the romance bit, but the guitar bit I nailed!

The Rolling Stones - Wild Horses, Angie
Neil Young - Look Out For My Love, Already One
The Beatles/George Harrision - Something
Rod Stewart - Have I Told You Lately

Asta!!

Things from Elliott Smith are nice too. Try Elliott Smith - Harvest Moon.

Everlong - Foo Fighters.

or like K-Wise said, anything by Jim Croce would be good.

"shortenin' bread" by- momma

Here are some romantic songs that sounds pretty good on an acoustic that I can think of:

James Taylor - Something in the Way She Moves
James Taylor- How Sweet it is
The Beatles - Something
The Beatles - Here There and Everywhere
Kenny Loggins - Danny's Song
Dave Matthews Band - Crash
Foo Fighters - Walking After You
John Denver - Sad Song
Lonestar - Amazed

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. :)

Play her "She Says" by Howie Day and she's yours. It's really easy, just these chords: C+9 - C - Cmaj7 - C - C+9 etc etc

I love it too. The harmonica is my favorite part. One a these days I'll buy me an acoustic and learn it just so I can record it fer you m'kay? :cool: Love Muse...must get that album.

Asta!!

ive done that before... it always workds too ;-)

anything by the beatles.. (good call whoever it was who suggested it)
-Cannon Ball::damien Rice
-The Blower's Daughter:: Damien Rice
-Most anything by elliot smith (or damien rice for that matter)
-Such Great Heights::Iron and Wine (cover of the postal service)
-Moondance:: Van Morrison
-Why Georgia:: JOhn Mayer
-Wish you were here:: pink floyd
-Hallelujah-Rufus Wainright(or Jeff Buckley... i prefer the rufus version)
-blue eyes::Cary Brothers

these are the songs ive used.. they always eem to work for me.. best of luck mate

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.

This is not really a love song, and it's only part acoustic, but the song Wake Me Up When September Ends by green day is a really good song

The entire album of Clapton unplugged is a straight eargasm.

Haha, have fun learning the bridge part in "Closure", that is insane. :thumbsup:
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.

--jaded

Beatles- Blackbird
