For all you budding (acoustic) guitarists out there...

[seagullmouse]

what is the song you enjoy playing most?

Some songs are quite easy but sound really good and I want to learn some new tunes!

 

[Titanic]

Streets of London - Ralph McTell.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Wish you were here - Pink Floyd.

Nice simple intro, relatively simple cord progression, great tune.

 

[Waynflete]

Are you good at bar chords? If you are, 'Married with Children' by Oasis sounds awesome.

 

[life on mars 73]

Space Oddity. Loads of great chords, lovely progressions. American Pie (although I don't like the song that much) is a great acoustic classic, as is California Dreamin'.

 

[seagullmouse]

Good shout! actually I play all 3 of the tunes mentioned so far, Streets of London and Married with Children in particular.

There must be some more classics out there that are easy to play, some more from me which sound good and are easy

Catch the Wind
Half the world away
Come up and see me

 

[Seagull27]

Alot of Jack Johnson's stuff is really nice once you get it right, but it can be quite tricky, depending on how good you are (I'm not).

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing is one of my favourites.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Are you good at bar chords? If you are, 'Married with Children' by Oasis sounds awesome.

barre chords - my nemesis!!

Damn these fingers, damn them!!!!

 

[Muzzman]

'Something in the way she moves'

James Taylor

 

[Set of Tracksuits]

barre chords - my nemesis!!

Damn these fingers, damn them!!!!

Just keep practising, feels like you'll never get there but you will.

Have you got a tab/chords that you use for space oddity and american pie? I have tried and failed at both in the past - cheers!

Great shout especially on a 12 string

I like to play beatles songs finger style. Can get quite tricky though. Type 'Peacejoy town fingerstyle guitar' into YouTube, he's amazing.
