Need some new tunes to learn and would like to know whats your favourite songs to play on the acoustic?

I'll start, my favourites are:

Milk by the Kings of Leon
I just dont know what to do with myself by the White Stripes
Plug in baby by Muse

Dregon

Mr. Jones - Counting Crows
Karma Police - Radiohead
The Bleeding Heart Show - The New Pornographers
Big Me - Foo Fighters

NeMiSiS

SRV - Testify - still have to learn it accurately.. but aint far off... then try it on a 12 string..

Would love to learn 'Rude mood' over Christmas if I get the time.. I would imagine it will take a long time though.

Good to see a few AIC fans here! 'Down In A Hole' is a nice one to play too. Can't go wrong with Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters'... The Jeff Buckley arrangement of 'Hallelujah' is good to play also.

Beanstalk

Norman Blakes' 'I am a man of constant sorrow' instrumental....i just wish i had a front porch....and a rocking chair...

Orion by metallica, can't help playing it every time i pick up the nylon string..! not a lot of chords it's all power chords and 3rds or whatever but it tranaslates really well to the accoustic, good for praties!! no wait..parties!!

Then i heard Rodrigo y Gabriella have a version of it too, she plays the guitar like a cajon drum it sounds rockin', and they do a whole metallica medley in there too..

Also, DOGS by Pink Floyd, the half-E half-D chord at the bedinning is soooo niiiice!!:p

Great song to play at the end of a party when your looking at some hot chick with boozy eyes - putty in your hands, nice;)

Mars Bar

Crazy World-Aslan
Share the Darkness-Saw Doctors
Everybody Takes a Tumble-Waterboys

These are the best songs for a pub gig!!

Roar

Breaking the Girl by the Chilis is a cracking acoustic song.. capo on the fourth fret, no difficult chords, and it sounds absolutely gorgeous...

Thanks
