    Hey,

    could anyone suggest some cool instrumental tunes to play on my acoustic? I'm looking build up on my skills by taking say one or a couple of tune and practice my ass on them.

    PS: Classical Gas is not on my list! :D

    Steel strung I presume? Check out Piére Bensusan for some nice 'Celtic' DAGDAD steel strung stuff. You ca get his book off Amazon. Amazing stuff.

    Just you-tubed that guy and that's some pretty tasty playing, real understated but elegant if that makes any sense?
    Don't wanna get all romantic but it's the kinda music you'd put on to romance a girl.......





















    ....right before you give her one, so it's definitely worth learning!!:p

    Duane Allman's Little Martha is a great acoustic tune - again, in open tuning.

    Some of the most rewarding solo pieces for acoustic guitar are the simpler tunes by Tommy Emmanuel. He's an amazing composer and all his songs are great pieces for learning technique.. and showing off

    Unmilitary Twostep by Rory Gallagher is a fun party piece and not too tricky to learn either.

    Dammit you got in there before me :)

    This is a very challenging piece by the man. Beautiful tune though.
