My personal search for great acoustic guitar songs

When I began my search for the best/great acoustic guitar songs ever produced I began to dream
of a time when I was a voracious young guitarists trying to digest everything the radio could spew.
Since I started playing guitar a few decades ago, countless acoustic guitar songs have been
produced that are perfect for beginners to experience the range of sound that can be produced by
the acoustic guitar.

Now I am a little biased and my choices below reflect that. I went for what sounds good (to my ear
and taste) played on the acoustic guitar; I also looked at songs that would be a slight (in some
cases hard) challenge to beginners but songs that would add value to their repertoire; in fact the
following songs if played well would add value to any guitarist's repertoire. The following list is by
no means exhaustive; it is merely my personal search throughout the internet to re-acquaint
myself with what has been produced since the 1960s and really, to get back into one of my very
first loves; actually the first dream I ever had as a boy of nine years old - of playing in a rock band.

First Ten Classics

1. Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton

I thought I would start with one of the evergreen masters of acoustic/electric guitar. It has some
nice touches in it that will make you sound good.

2. Drive - Incubus

Nice driving rhythm acoustic guitar song that is great to play at parties.

3. I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

When I first heard this song over in Honolulu it took me by surprise; a great song for those beach
parties.

4. Californication - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

A nice classic introduction worth learning.

5. Bubbly - Colbie Caillat

OK, I have to admit this song grew on me; nice easy song for acoustic guitar.
6. Classical Gas - Mason Williams

A little harder to master but once you do you wont be able to put it down.

7. Knocking on heaven's door - Bob Dylan

A great Dylan classic that is easy to play and would be great at parties.

8. Wanted (Dead or Alive) - Bon Jovi

A real classic, couldn't go past it. Nice distinctive intro known widely - this will put you on the map;
not too difficult to play.

9. Blackbird - The Beatles

This is not a song I would normally go for, but I think it is worth trying as it will extend your skill.

10.Come on get higher

A nice easy-going sing-along song that will wrap this first list of ten up.

Second Ten Classics

11. Every breath I take - Police/Puff daddy

A classic from the eighties

12. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

Was the measure of a guitarist in the seventies

13. Hotel California - The Eagles

This will stretch you; worth the time it will take for you to master.

14. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

A widely recognised song throughout the world

15. Layla Uplugged - Clapton

This one you will enjoy, nice change in style

16. Wish you were here - Pink Floyd

Classic Pink Floyd easy to play
17. Nothing else matters - Metallica

Classic Metallica - great sound

18. More than words - Extreme

This is a great song to extend your collection of chords

19. Wonderwall - Oasis

Another distinctive classic beginning riff

20. If - Bread

This is an oldie with a lot of interesting chords and changes for you to master and put together.




The list of acoustic guitar songs above is a place to start and extend your skill level to a point
where it will give you an immense amount of pleasure. The best way to learn any guitar songs is to
actually see it being done and then playing along. The internet has a wide range of lessons
available to anyone to learn acoustic guitar. Check out these Easy Guitar Lessons to give you a
kick-start.

If you are just beginning to learn how to play the acoustic guitar the key is to find a series of easy
guitar lessons that you can manage by yourself first, without any cost before you jump into paying
for lessons to extend your skill level and accelerate your learning. For the cost of 15 or so flat
whites you can get yourself a year's worth of lessons delivered to your lap top and learn how to
Play Acoustic Blues Guitar and many other genres.
