    Songs I learned while learning Guitar:

    Hold my Hand – Hootie and the blowfish
    (I’m the one who wants to) Be with you – Mr Big
    Tears in heaven – Clapton
    Lightning Crashes – Live
    Breakfast at Tiffany’s – ???
    Wicked Game – Chris Isaac
    Low – Cracker
    Wounded hand – Stone Temple Pilots
    Black – Pearl Jam

    A lot of old U2 and REM stuff is very easy. U2 tends to ride a chord progression through the whole song, REM creatively uses secondary dominants and major minors.

    Elliott Smith’s early stuff is really good acoustic stuff. Some tracks:
    Southern Belle:
    Tomorrow Tomorrow
    Needle In The Hay
    Angeles
    No Name #6

    I could list an ifinite number of amazing songs that you could learn ^^
    But being you’re playing acoustic, it narrows it down.
    There are still however thousands of good songs you could learn! :)

    Nevertheless, here’s the one I recommend you:

    My My, Hey Hey – Neil Young

    It is an amazing song (:
    Ideal for acoustic in my opinion!
    Good luck

  12. Ash Says:

    “lonely Day” -System of a Down

    “Behind Blue Eyes” -The Who: not by any of the other idiots who have sung it!

    “Strange” -The Doors

    “knocking on Heavens Door”" Bob Dylan

    “Three Marlenas” -The Wallflowers

    “Wish you Were Hear” -Pink Floyd!!!

    “Hurt” Johnny Cash (Again it is done right by Cash, not the others)

    “Time of your life” Green day

    Tenacious D is also a pretty good idea they’re fun, but they also have a really diverse and open music style to their songs.
