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. |

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. Quote:
|
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 |
Quote:
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.
|
Quote:
|
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 |
Quote:
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
|

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.
|
Quote:
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
|
Muse - Unintended
Ben Folds Five - Brick (piano tabbed for guitar) |
It's been a while - Staind
Cold - Crossfade Julia - Our Lady Peace those are the ones that come to mind at the moment. |
Anything by Johnny Cash
Anything by Tenacious D Nirvana-Unplugged :thumbsup: |
Don't forget "More Than Words" by the inappropriately named Extreme. :)
|
The Postal Service - Recycled Air. It's original quite electronic but there's an acoustic version that is simply amazing.
Iron and Wine - Such Great Heights. Originally a Postal Service song (or was it Death Cab?) but it's beautiful when played acoustically. PM me if you want the songs on mp3. Edit: Also, by Aussie band Sodastream, a song called Welcome Throw. I doubt you'll find it on any P2P network, so PM me and I can send it. There's a bit of cello on it but I bet you could do well on guitar alone. Check out http://www.sodastream.net.au/ and go to the Music section, you can see a few videos and listen to some MP3s from there. I'm not a huge fan of their videos but check out the songs 'Heaven on the Ground', 'Welcome Throw' and 'Varkhala'. |
Classical Gas
:D |
From the time this thread started to this point, the couple could have married, started a family and split (well, almost), but since I'm just getting here:
"I Want To Be In Love" by Melissa Etheridge would work. "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song" or "Time In A Bottle" by Jim Croce are both nice. |
Very late, but I think it still is nice to list some good acoustic songs. There are several that I have seen in this thread that I would like to listen too.
Stone Temple Pilots- Plush Seven Mary Three- Cumbersome (Not necessarily great to play to a girl, but it is a fantastic song) |
Most John Mayer works, as does Jack Johnson (I just got Sitting, Waiting, Wishing down). Then there's Barenaked Ladies; a lot of what they do translates well. Try The Flag, Old Apartment, Brian Wilson, Yoko Ono, If I Had $1 000 000, For You or When I Fall. Many of these were originally done with just an acoustic guitar and sound really good, especially if you have the singing voice to back it up (which unfortunately, I don't).
|
Marilyn Manson - Five To One
or Marilyn Manson - Working Class Hero |
Quote:
thanks for the suggestions though, even though this has just become a collection of good acoustic songs it's great to hear suggestions cause i'm always a sucker for romance songs to play anyways. |
Acoustic you say?
I'll state the obvious and reccommend anything by the following artists: Jack Johnson Pete Murray Xavier Rudd Gary Jules Donovan Frankenreiter (Doubt you've heard of him, he is a surfer) This is all I can think of at the moment |
i've heard of donavon, i saw him live once and bought his cd. good stuff.
|
I really love Nick Drake, personally. He's not romantic for the most part (or if at all for that matter) but it's great music. Very emo. I listen to him quite a bit.
|
here's one that you can have fun with, The Hard Time Killing Floor Blues by Skip James, that one would be totally awesome for putting somebody to sleep, so peaceful...
|
If you can manage it, try Michael Hedges playing "i carry your heart"
It's an e.e. cummings poem. Lyrics: i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart) Musically, you can skip the fretless bass part and it's still pretty. BUT, Michael Hedges is a madman on the guitar, so it may be way too hard to play. Want a teaser? The tuning is BbFCEbFBb |
My Suggestions, based upon my personal experience ;)
Radiohead - Creep (four chords, 3 in the same shape) Pearl Jam - Black David Gray - Babylon |
The first two that come to mind are Queen's "'39" and Pink Flloyd's "Mother"
|
Eric Clapton - Layla, Change the World
Jack Johnson - Taylor James Taylor - Fire and Rain Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter anything by james taylor ll work if you have his voice aswel...lol oni messing those r all good choices :thumbsup: bobillydylan nearly seduced my friend with ramona by bob dylan lol |
Quote:

Bob Dylan
The man in me Boots of spanish leather I want you Precious angel Saving grace Every grain of sand these are just a few :) |
a bit late to the party, oh well.
Lyle Lovett's If I Had a Boat seems to please people for some reason. My own favorite (feasibly) acoustic romantic song is Talking Heads' This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) from Speaking in Tongues. |
Anything by Oasis on What's The Story (Morning Glory)
|
Dylan - Desolation Row
|
"Wild World" and "Sad Lisa" - Cat Stevens
"Push" - Matchbox 20 "Try To Get Some Sleep" - K's Choice worked up a great acoustic version "What Makes You Happy" - Liz Phair...not entirely acoustic, but it could be...and good, at that :cool: |

Another sad one I really like to play is Clapton's 'Tears in Heaven' (It's the first real song I ever learned how to play all the way through) Lots of good choices here. Mayer is an excellent choice, although some of his stuff is a bit difficult and 'thin,' in my opinion. Jack Johnson is a good one too, but 'Taylor?' Isn't that about a young hooker? I've read the lyrics and ran the song through my head a couple of times and I believe he's talking about Taylor being a hooker. I mention this only because I don't think it'd be wise to sing songs about call girls to your girlfriend. :) There's been a few mentions of The Beatles... I really like 'Julia' and 'Dear Prudence' |
guthmund - Taylor is about a young hooker, but it's a nice song if you don't listen to the lyrics too closely (and you really have to in order to catch the meaning).
Back to more suggestions, if you like Jack Johnson and Donovan Frankenreiter than G Love and Special Sauce might be your style to. They're more Philadelphia blues, but they have a good sound and a lot of their songs are good acoustic. They do Rodeo Clowns, but also worth checking out are Gimme Some Lovin and possibly Baby's Got Sauce, although I haven't tabbed that one and I don't know how well it translates. |
try James Blunt - beautiful
girls like it (or so I hear, Im tone deaf myself) |
deleted. :hmm:
|
One of my favorites is the Indigo Girls' acoustic version of "Romeo and Juliet"...great lyrics and fun to play.
|
Quote:
I forgot to mention, Joe Satriani. I can't play a whole lot of his stuff, but I like to pull things from his songs from time to time to warm up and such... The lead in "Always with me, always with you" is probably my favorite. |
I'm not sure if anyone else heard/seen it but I didn't mind Marty Casey's (Rockstar INXS) version of The Killers - Mr Brightside
O and Foo Fighters - Everlong ROCKS :) |
The Grateful Dead have an album called Reckoning that I've heard a lot of acoustic artists cover. The album was designed as a showcase ofr acoustic Dead songs, and they are all easy to sing and play.
|
Men: If you ever want a girl, write a song. Make it pretty, which doesn't necissarily mean romantic or complicated. Just something nice.
If you have something that you have written, play it for her and wait for her to ask what it is, then tell her it's just something you wrote. Honestly, I've fallen for a hundred musicians this way. (Or four, but shh! It works.) |
Some great songs...one of my favorites that was not named, and possibly my favorite of all, is faithful man by ryan long....gotta download it
|
wow, i havent posted here in a while, but glad i found this. someone said elliott smith, give "Angeles" a try
|
Quote:
Jeff Buckley - Lilac Wine (Forgot who does it originally but it's a great song) John Lennon - Love Joseph Arthur - In The Sun I alos recommend you check out Ray Lamontagne. Got into him recently. He's really really good. Recommended songs = Shelter, Trouble, All The Wild Horses, Jolene, etc. The whole album is good really. Asta!! |
Oh and ANYTHING by Iron & Wine. Check them out. Just really really awesome. Sam Beam is a genius.
Jezebel, Dead Mans Will to start with. Asta!! |
coming from a girls viewpoint, i say iron and wine's version of 'such great heights'.
it's been played for me before, and i absolutely swooned. heck, just listening to the song makes me swoon period. its simple, lovely and has fantastic lyrics. |
^^^^^ :thumbsup:!!
Asta!! |
I haven't read the entire thread, so my apologies for any repeats. Here are some great albums that are all (or mostly all) acoustic:
CSNY - Deja Vu Ralph Covert - Eat at Godot's Ralph Covert - Birthday Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning Simon and Garfunkel - Greatest Hits |
Anything by Ryan Adams (especially from Love Is Hell ie; I See Monsters, English Girls Approx., Wonderwall, Please Do Not Let Me Go, etc etc) A few from Death Cab for Cutie's last two studio albums, anything by Iron & Wine, Ron Sexsmith, The New Pornographers, The Shins, Rufus Wainwright, and there is an unsigned guy from toronto named Reid Jamieson that is very Jack Johnson meets Jeff Buckley... I swear Buckley's soul is inhabiting him. There's always Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis' solo stuff... great acoustic alt. country.
|
Ben Folds Five - Brick (Believe it or not)
Dave Matthews Band - Sattelite Extreme - More Than Words (I don't want to hear it - people still love it, and it's fun to play) Tragically Hip - Wheat Kings The Beatles - While my guitar gently weeps, In my life Goo Goo Dolls - Black Balloon, No one's listening Creed - Lullaby Tonic - If you could only see Foo Fighters - Times Like These The Waltons - Colder Than You, the Boxer (Yes, the cover) Deep Blue Something - Breakfast at Tiffany's The Tea Party - Gone Incubus - Drive REM - Find The River |
