_jr_ Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Dust in the Wind is a lot of fun to play, and not nearly as difficult as one would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Some instrumental pieces: "Anji" by Paul Simon "Manha de Carnaval" (If you like Samba, that is) "Linus and Lucy" (It started out as a piano composition) "Classical Gas" (How's your Flamenco?) "Wheeha Swing" (Oops, Hawaiian Slack Key!) :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I play every song in an acoustic version. It´s easy to do, imagine you´re making your own unplugged album... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyRider Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Neil Young's "Heart Of Gold" is a great acoustic guitar song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie_sane Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 I reckon 'You're So Vain' by Carly Simon would be an excellent song to play cos everyone likes singing along to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Although neither is exactly a party song..."Blackbird" by The Beatles is sweet and "The Needle and the Damage Done" by Neil Young is awesome. Neil Young's acoustic "Hey Hey, My My" might work for parties and it''s easy. Donovan's "Atlantis" is fun to play. Everybody knows "Space Oddity" too...(Bowie). :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Neil Young's "Heart Of Gold" is a great acoustic guitar song. :doh:Geez, ER, how could I forget Neil Young. His stuff is way fun to play. Like RJS said, Needle and the Damage Done is a lot of fun to play. It's also beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictedtoclassic Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Skynyrd has an acoustic album... "Endangered Species" There's an acoustic version of "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Saturday Night Special" and "Things Goin' On" just to name a few.

daslied Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Sorry to say, but "American Pie" by Don McClean. "Lola" by The Kinks "Good Riddance" by Green Day - I hate it, but the kids love it... And, in response to an earlier post - if you can sing "Grace" by Jeff Buckley you shouldn't be playing at parties... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 And, in response to an earlier post - if you can sing "Grace" by Jeff Buckley you shouldn't be playing at parties...

daslied Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 He said fun to play acoustically, not an award winning performance! Touché...definitely fun. I hate parties, but if I could find one where people would actually sing along to "Grace" I'd be there in a heartbeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I play every song in an acoustic version. It´s easy to do, imagine you´re making your own unplugged album... Yeah Edna, I second your emotion I SECOND THAT EMOTION- Smokey Robinson A G D D Maybe you wanna give me kisses sweet But only for one night and no repeat And maybe you'll go away and never call G A D A taste of honey is worse than none at all CHORUS: G D Oh in that case I don't want no part G D I do believe that that would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me A G D And you got the notion, I second that emotion A G Said, if you feel like givin' me a lifetime of devotion D A G D A G D I second that emotion Maybe you think that love would tie you down And you don't have the time to hand around Or maybe you think that love was made for fools And so it makes you wise to break the rules CHORUS TWICE NOTE: Try playing this chords barred and then sliding up to them to create some of the sound of the original.

Mairi Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Good Riddance-Green Day Simple to play and very good as a sing-a-long song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles. Really any other song with a capo is good. But that one really stands out as a good capo song. In fact, no matter what song you play, make sure you have a capo on it, because girls love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImThatGuyToo Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Another good capo song is Scarborough Fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MementoxMori Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 "The Capo Song" is the best capo song, hate to break it to ya! (oh, noone's ever heard of the capo song? silly me! NATE!) there's a really nice version of "In Your Eyes" that was covered acoustically by Jeffery Gaines, and you can find the tabs here, but i warn you, they aren't the easiest to pick up, because there's alot of syncopated rhythm. i also suggest listening to the song if you can find it. i was at a party where someone played it, and nearly everyone started singing along.
