Guitar chord forum - chordie → Acoustic → Need Acoustic song!!!
I soon have an exam in guitar and I need one more song that is challenging and easy on the ears.My current ones are:
Wish you were Here By Pink Floyd
Soul To squeeze By The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sitting,waiting By Jack Johnson
I find all these songs really easy but I think that they are pretty nice sounding and are enjoying to play.
sounds like your playing is more advanced than my own, meaning you could probably be able to play Eric Clapton's " tear in heaven" properly.
I have heard only one person playing this really good apart from Clapton himself. And sitting in a room with someone playing this song note for note is just a wonderful exprerience to the ear hole.
so I nominate "Tears in Heaven"
but if that is too hard then the Who's " behind blue eyes."
If you can get a copy of Pete Townshend playing it solo it is marvelous, also easy to play as I can play it.

The problem is that it has two guitars 
I could play it no problem im just not sure about playing another two guitar song.
Behind Blue eyes would probley get boring for the listener for a while with no singing.
Thanks anyways tough,im going to look closer at tears in heaven to see if theres a way to play it using both parts at times were they seem influencual to the song
Try "Ophelia" by The Band. Nice little intro and good beat.
Just got it down pat and is a fun tune to do.
...Badeye.

I play Tears in Heaven by myself, I just add in the other guitar's fills when Clapton is playing chords, and the solo when Clapton is playing chords. If you are decent at finger picking, I'd recommend Eric Johnson's Song for George-very blusey, fun to play, easy to listen to, and it's only like a minute and a half long. That one is in a strange tuning, I'm not sure what it's called, but it's DADGAd (low to high). One other one I like to play is Clapton's Layla acoustic, though I don't sing so I go from the intro into the solo, and it makes a good minute-and-a-half to two-minute song all by itself without the chorus. The solo is cool and fairly easy to play (by the way, Clapton and Johnson are in my humble opinion the best guitar players the world has ever seen). Good luck!
If you're good at finger picking, learn this one....

Or just go to youtube and type in "guitar cover" or "acoustic cover" for some ideas

I would definitely recommend "Sunsets and car crashes" by the spill canvas
Its a really good song and I think it would set you apart from other people. its more original!
Good Luck with whatever song you choose!
Try either James Taylor or John Denver... if your looking for tabs...or try the Eagles.
You can't fail with the Beatles.
They're all great, just grab a short and easy one.
Suite Judy Blue Eyes by Stephen Stills should do the trick
Hi there Cazador. Try "Classical Gas" - original by Mason Williams, covered by Eric Clapton.

Man im listening to this song at the moment and it kicks so much ass,iv been looking for this song forever!Im am seriously considering learning this or tears in heaven.
Thanks to everone helping,im always open to suggestions even if i choose one cause ye might just give me one that would make me change my mind
Lenny by Stevie Ray Vaughn. Sounds great on an acoustic
Tangerine Led Zepplin
Jack and Diane John Mellincamp (sounds great acustic)
Stair way to Heaven (jk)
Oh heres a good one Over the Hills and Far Away by Led Zepplin sounds great
Try "Ophelia" by The Band. Nice little intro and good beat.
Just got it down pat and is a fun tune to do....Badeye.
Another good one by the band is The Weight. I love that song and it's huuuuge fun to play!
...That one is in a strange tuning, I'm not sure what it's called, but it's DADGAd (low to high).
Isn't that Open G?
YOUR BODY IS A WONDERLAND (John Mayer)
Smooth and Jazzy. 3CF
Mayer has some cool Acoustic peaces. 3CF
I second the nomination for 'Tears in Heaven'. Yes it has a second guitar which adds a lot to the song. But if you play the first guitar it's fantastic. I play it on my own and I think it sounds great.
Second suggestion for something completly differant is Damian Rice's Cannonball.
Enjoy
Pat
Needle and damage done - Neil young - sounds harder than it actually is
The Blower's Daughter - Damien Rice - open easy strum and sounds very nice. Cannonballs's great too.
Shane
Oh just thought of a great one and its real eay too. Blackbird by the beatles sounds awesome!!!
what about Speak softly Love...the godfather theme...excellent piece
get an idea here...
I have some good songs in my songbook (gitaardocphil's soundbook) having some great songs
