Subject: What are your Favorite Acoustic Guitar songs?
Written By: Badfinger-fan on 08/31/08 at 11:05 pm
Please share some of your favorites, and include videos if you want. also...the song doesn't have to be 100% acoustic, just mainly acoustic. If there's some electric guitar, well that's ok 8)
1. My Sweet Lord -- George Harrison
2. Blackbird -- The Beatles
3. Yesterday -- The Beatles
4. That's The Way -- Led Zeppelin
5. Angie -- The Rolling Stones

I too liked 'My Sweet Lord' which I always thought beared a slight resemblance to 'Kind of A Drag' by The Buckinghams
We had a popular one in Canada, circa 1989 called All the Things I Wasn't by a group called The Grapes of Wrath. I never used to like it, but over the years, it really grew on me :)

Other than that, I still have a soft spot for the greatly overplayed 'More Than Words' by Extreme

you think they sound similar? I'd have to listen, but I thought The Buckinghams song was different, but now that I'm playing it in my head, there is a similarity. good observation 8)

I like "My Sweet Lord" too... the drumbeats kinda 'develop' in that song and become noticeable during the second minute.

I've developed a liking for it too!
As for some newer songs w/ acoustic guitars, some of my faves include "Drive" by Incubus (2001), and "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat (2007).

One of the things I like about acoustic songs is their ability to reach people with considerable differences in taste. We may like totally different genres of music but we can come together and enjoy the same acoustic songs. 8)

nice choice Jack. imo, Classical Gas is simply the quintessential acoustic guitar song . I remember seeing this performance when it first aired on The Ed Sullivan Show

Anything by Duane Eddy, who got his start around 1958 and recorded through the 70s, and who briefly returned to the spotlight when Art of Noise used his guitar as the basis for their 1986 rendition of Peter Gunn.
Although he didn't record any albums after 1987, he never stopped playing/touring. A 2005 interview implies that he's still playing.
Recommended introduction: the 2-disc Twang Thang anthology, which I bought for the Twang Mix of Peter Gunn, but l enjoyed so much that... well, 20 years ago, my parents were confused enough to see me digging through their stash of vinyl, and were even more bewildered when I answered "Looking for anything with Duane Eddy and his Twangy Guitar! This guy's great!"

There is a bit (just a few bars of guitar) on The Chain-Fleetwood Mac that I love.
I'm sure I will come up with others later.

For Christian rock, that's a pretty good one. When I first heard that one, I thought they almost sounded like Crosby/Stills/Nash at first, due to the style and sound.
