Guitar players!

[Swede54]

Hey guys ive been playing guitar for awhile, and im pretty much unlimited in what i can learn. But on another note i want to learn some songs on acoustic to impress the ladies. I just learned greensleeves, beautiful song. Anyone got suggestions?

Get some songbooks of some of your fav. guitar bands. Check out the tabs, get something challenging but not impossible for your level.

I learned to play at school and wasn't to bad. I'm kicking myself I stopped. Recently got some 'how to play the beatles acoustic' type dvds, I'm hooked again. Blackbird Bye, Bye :woo:

 

[DogFashionDisco]

Try learning "Good Riddance (Time of your life)" by Green Day.

 

[Swede54]

im looking for songs taht are more instrumental like classical/folk songs even.

 

[Fenderules]

Try Sisters by Steve Vai. Awesome tune!

 

[Luveno]

Here's an obscure one that they've never heard before:

"all the things I wasn't" by Grapes of Wrath.

It's got a very soothing verse and chorus, with a classical, almost minstrel-like, riff.

It doesn't really matter what you play unless you enjoy it and can play it well.

 

[Francisco d'Anconia]

Old Led Zepplin or old Rush. It's pretty easy to find good acoustic Zep songs but Rush is a bit difficult; try their Farewell to Kings album.

 

[TheRelic]

Ahhh yes, rush!!

And learn this. If this doesnt impress the ladies, then nothing will

[cant think of a user name]

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower...
Haha if you're up for it, try playing the 2nd solo on an acoustic.... impossible....

Jack Johnson - Taylor...
That just sounds awesome on an acoustic. Awesome.

Eric Clapton - Classical Gas
Everyone knows this song.

 

[Alpine]

Stairway to heaven:crackup:

No waaayyyy duuude.


Waaaayyyy.


Listen to stuff by Michael Hedges for inspiration and aspiration.

 

[Swede54]

stairway , denied.

Try Mood For a Day by Yes(Steve Howe is the guitarist...the ugliest man ever but he's got his **** going on guitar). Killer classical song that makes people, especially women, orgasm

And yes, the intro to Farewell to Kings is a great classical piece as well. Short though, unfortunately, but still very quality

 

[Swede54]

i downloaded mood for a day, i think ill try that it sounds cool and challenging.

 

[Ricky]

Dee by Randy Rhodes.

For classical, I tend to go for the songs written specifically for guitar...Sor, Giuliani, and some Bach pieces written for lute. You can find a lot that are extremely easy to play, but sound great regardless.

Wish I still had my classical guitar...that'll definitely be my next purchase.

What kind of guitars do you all have? Me, I have an old Washburn steel string, a cheap Ibanez bass (forgot the model), and a sage green Fat Strat.

 

[Life-Trainee]

Check out some Tommy Emmanuel, he's got amazing acoustic songs.

Needs this program. You'll never go back to regular tabs again (and it's completely free).
