Best acoustic guitar songs

Such a hard song to play too. Love it.

Without doubt the acoustic guitar is the perfect instrument. You presumably agree or you wouldn't be here, or at least are willing to learn.

So what are the best acoustic guitar songs?


This is not a competition- no marks will be awarded. The only rules are the songs you post must be, in your opinion, great examples of acoustic guitar songs. They can have other instruments in there too but the guitar must be the main one.

I'm going to kick this off with a high bar- Nick Drake, Three Hours.
Musically one of my absolute icons. His life story was so tragic that overall I can't call him totally inspirational, but musically he was almost untouchable. It's just such a shame his inner demons proved stronger than he was at the crucial time or who knows what he may have achieved

I echo @hilts comments.
I’m going to absolutely love this thread.

Love this song.

He makes it look so goddamn easy.

Played this on acoustic guitar at a party in the house one Christmas.
A great foot stomper.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

One of the best acoustic guitar riffs ever.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Simple acoustic but great song.

 

[Fat Chance]

'He played it too slow'

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Exceptional.

Joni was a fantastic singer song writer, but underestimated as a guitarist perhaps.
She had unusual chord choices and finger picking in a lot of her work.

Always loved this though.

Top top song - lovely to see he is playing it at a more manageable pace nowadays ;-)

I need to pick this back up as I could only play it like an absolute dog - beautiful riff.........

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Half time.
I’ll throw this in quickly.

Great that - couldn't see who was playing and my initial my thought was 'that sounds like Rory' ha ha............

Love this song....

As soon as I saw the thread title I knew someone would post this song
For me it sits beside Chris De Burg’s “ Lady in red” as one of the biggest piles of stinking shit ever recorded and what makes it even worse is, just like Lady in red, once it starts, it goes on and on and on. There seems to be no end to it
