Members Chordite Posted August 13, 2014 Members Share Posted August 13, 2014 As an exercise I was putting together a list of songs that you could just pick up a guitar at a party or on the beachand play. I was surprised how many of them were Bread songs. Gates stuff seems to cut seamlessly from band down to just a guy and guitar. Some Beatles like Norwegian wood also went on it Ended up with a lot of Bread, James Taylor, Woody Guthrie, John Denver and a couple of Gordon Lightfoots that I can never remember all the lyrics too (The Wreck of theEdmund Fitzgerald) Dang I forgot just how good that one was [video=youtube_share;9vST6hVRj2A] Who would you put on your list? ps "I gave my love a cherry" is out for well known reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ido1957 Posted August 15, 2014 Members Share Posted August 15, 2014 Not too many of those types of songs on the radio anymore. I can't imagine Poker Face with just an acoustic for example lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gdsmithtx Posted August 15, 2014 Members Share Posted August 15, 2014 Much of Bob Seger's catalog is relatively easy to play unaccompanied. A lot of Tom Petty too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wankdeplank Posted August 16, 2014 Members Share Posted August 16, 2014 I did a fingerstyle version of Cat Stevens "Wild World" recently at an open mic. "In my life" by the Beatles and "As tears go by" by the Stones can be done beautifully on acoustic guitar. Jangly things by Country rockers like Credence, America and the Eagles also translate well.
