Acoustic guitar songs for me to learn?

Question

I would like:
-not all power chords
-not something too easy, like Green Day's Good Riddance, more like Jack Johnson's Better Together
-can sing along (not scream along)

I'm not picky about the genre, I really just don't want to open any more tabs and see only power chords and the such haha.

Answer 1

How about "Blackbird" by the Beatles? Good song, if you want to try fingerstyle.

Answer 2

If you're looking to pick-up the acoustic guitar quickly and cheaply, consider getting Jamorama - it's $39, and it's got really good reviews. I personally like it because it has tons of video lessons and other things that really beat just learning off paper.

I bought it thinking that I just wanted to learn the basic chords and more importantly, there was a full-money-back guarantee, so I just tested it out. But I kept it.

Before you buy it, you should sign-up for the free email course - it's free and theres about 5 or 6 (I don't recall exactly how many) lesson type instructional emails you'll get that are practical and give you a sense of what it's like.

Here's a detailed post about Jamorama:

Answer 3

Go to Musiciansfriend.com and order the Complete Beatles Music book (on sale now for 59.95).
Go to Google and type in "acoustic guitar song books". Should get a lot of hits from that.

Answer 4

Go into folk or country. John Denver's Country Roads, Bob Dylan's Mr.Tambourine Man. Don McLean's American Pie, yo name but 3. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Try Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.
