Songs to learn on the acoustic

[Horn37]

I am sick of playing the same old stuff, so I'm looking for suggestions on new songs to learn on the acoustic guitar. Mostly looking for songs that would be good to play for a group of people, but I'm trying to improve my fingerpicking as well. Thanks

Don't know your level, but these are some songs I think sound good with just guitar and vocals.

Blackbird - the Beatles
original recording just has metronome and recorded birds

That's the Way - Led Zeppelin
You'll need to tune your guitar to open G

Anything by Townes Van Zandt
Very good, but relatively simple fingerpicking

Lonely Stranger - Eric Clapton
Signe - Eric Clapton
From Unplugged

Lots of Paul Simon - The Boxer, Homeward Bound, etc.

Stairway

 

[Bookman]

Classical Gas.

Stony River by Mason Proffit

 

[Viper Daimao]

wish you were here - pink floyd
everlong - foo fighters
personal jesus - Johnny Cash
come pick me up - Ryan Adams
damn, sam (I love a woman that rains) - Ryan Adams

anything by Django Reinhardt

 

[wolfman]

Grab a Neil Young songbook.

 

[GarCiaRia]

Heaven = Live
Shimmer = Shawn Mullins
Pink House = John Couger
Take it easy = Eagles
Road goes on Forever = REK
Pancho and Lefty = Willie

Hit me baby one more time - Britney Spears
Patience - GnR
Beer Run - Todd Snider

Seriously, learn these songs and score with chicks.

redemption song - marley
wish you were here - pink floyd

Then, do a "wish you were redemption song" medley.
