nice (acoustic) songs

[BOOM]

Does anybody know some good (acoustic) songs to play, something like stairway or hotel california or nothing else matters, not too hard and not too easy?

[basics]

Man, everybody loves beatles tunes and they're mostly the basic chords. Classics like brown eyed girl, couple accoustic clapton tunes like when you're down and out (originally by somebody associated with hendrix i believe). i knew a guy who picked up every time he played tears in heaven while camping. that may take a bit more of the practice.

i'd go with babe im gonna leave you by zeppelin. good finger pickin song an once you know all the chords its easy. other than that you could look at somethin by jack johnson. a good (nice) acoustic song by him is f-stop blues not difficult but really well nice. i did put this on as a trick listen to it if ya like i'd download the song or somethin but ignore my tab its probly wrong as i hadn't played it for ages an i played it pretty bad also but any who.

Jack Johnson is always fun to learn...
Jewel has very simple stuff, especiall off of her first cd. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young... Sublime... Nirvana... wow I can't think right now. But those band have some pretty easy tunes.

Simple yes,but very nice.
I know the chords for down so long,for instance,but I can't quite get to strum and sound like on the song.
It's not amusing.

No one asked for amusic they asked for nice. Nice is most of the time... not amusing. Unless it ska... or maybe you might like nice music. Imagine that.

You got it bad.
It's the not being able to sound like the record that doesn't amuse me.

Maybe satisfying would be a better adjective... or maybe not.

Saying I wasn't amused is just another way of saying I was pissed off.

I like Michael Hedges' stuff. A lot of it is pretty complicated, but he has some easier songs that sound nice too, such as Chava's Song, The Naked Stalk, his cover of All Along The Watchtower...

Air by jason becker. Its not easy though :(

All John Mayer Songs. All Dave Matthews songs. There, easy, nice, and easy once again.
