Hey all, Trying to learn some fairly simple acoustic guitar songs. I can read tab. I've been playing for a bit and am self-taught. I just need some tab/song suggestions of fairly easy/cool-sounding acoustic songs. I just want to jam out some stuff at parties for friends, maybe try an open mic eventually. Thus far I can play a few songs in full: -Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd -Bad Moon Rising- CCR -Blackbird- The Beatles -Stairway to Heaven- Zeppelin (Not the Solo) -Times Like These- Jack Johnson Hopefully we can turn this into a beginner guitar thread. Peace and thanks for any recommendations.
'blister in the sun', by violent femmes... everybody knows it, it's easy, and it's pretty fun to play.

Patience-Guns N Roses - look up tab Used to love her-guns n roses: D, A, G Knockin on heaven's door- Bob Dylan : G, D, C (whole song) Hurt -Johnny Cash- look up tab Nutshell-Alice in Chains
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison Mr Tambourine Man - Bob Dylan Rocket Man - Elton John Heaven - Talking Heads - all pretty easy chords, see www.chordie.com
Your asking for fairly simple and you're playing Stairway? Or you on about playing it just chorded? Either way it's a very fun song to play. Anyways simple songs I play now and again are as follows: Green Day - Time Of Your Life (bit of a crowd pleaser) Foo Fighters - Everlong (wake it down to drop D, people love hearing that song acoustic) HIM - Don't Fear the Reaper/Funeral of Hearts Eddie Vedder - Society Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah Belle & Sebastian - Piazzo New York Catcher Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees Muse - Unintended Brand New - The Boy Who Blocked his Own Shot IAMX - Mercy And check out Ours and Jimmy Gnecco, he is great for simple acoustic songs which are fun to play.
Yeah, I can play stairway fingerpicked...i realize it's not the easiest song, but i wanted to learn it more than any other so really worked at it. way too cool..thanks for all your suggestions so far guys!
