The Best Acoustic Guitar Songs You Should Learn   by Pelle Rylander

Songs to play on guitar

Visualize yourself resting with all your friends and family by the fire place at the shoreline late at night. The waves are rolling in and when it gets darker you pick up your guitar and begin playing one of your favourite melodies. Someone produces a harmonica and joins you. Within a few minutes you’re all singing and playing the night away.

Is it not a fabulous picture? Just close your eyes and think of it. Imagine truly being

able to pick any song and just play it. But I’ve got a problem there. I constantly must bring a binder with me, because it doesn’t matter how hard I try, I can’t remember all those durned words of the song…

My other problem I have if I forget about the binder is actually my imagination. I can’t bring to mind any songs to play! So if you’re anything like me, collect your songs in a binder, write in the chords in all the right spots and always have it accessible if it is party time.

The Songs

To help you out just a little with tips on what songs to play, I have gathered a list of songs that I personally love to play. Many of them is pretty easy to play and many are perfect to sing with all your friends.

Blowing in the Wind – Bob Dylan

Boulevard of Broken Dreams – Greenday

Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison

The Boxer – Simon & Garfunkel

The River – Bruce Springsteen

These songs are among my personal favourites. As expected everyone has completely different preferences, and like different things, but there should be at least a few diamonds for you to enjoy from this list.

Happy playing!

12 Songs $15.98 In the 1990s, producer Rick Rubin (renowned for his work with acts ranging from Run-DMC to Slayer) helped to reinvigorate the career of country legend Johnny Cash by bringing him back to the basics of his sound. On 2005’s 12 SONGS, Rubin facilitates a similar streamlining with pop crooner Neil Diamond, a not entirely surprising move, as Rubin steered Cash toward covering Diamond on AMERICAN III: SOLITARY MAN. The Brooklyn-born performer returns to his singer/songwriter roots, leaving the glitzy bombast of past outings behind, in favor of a warm, organic atmosphere that often highlights Diamond’s own acoustic-guitar playing. This setting allows his emotive voice and distinctive phrasing to carry the tunes, whether he’s pining away on Oh Mary or reveling in unrestrained affirmation on Hell Yeah. Although many of the tunes are strikingly spare, there is room for contributions by stellar backing musicians, including Billy Preston (organ) and Heartbreakers Mike Campbell (guitar) and Benmont Tench (piano and organ). An assured album that features Diamond playing to his strengths, 12 SONGS is a welcome return to form for a beloved American pop artist.

Abdel Wright $1 With an acoustic guitar and a song-based approach, Wright flies in the face of reggae’s current dancehall fascination and hip-hop obsession with sex, drugs and materialism. In politically-charged songs like Quicksand, Human Behavior, Loose We Now and Dust Under Carpet, Wright sings about relevant global issues: government oppression, the high cost of healthcare, the lack of suitable housing and education, poverty and the hypocrisy of the political and religious establishments. The themes are worldwide, even though it all starts with Jamaican culture, explains Wright. But it applies everywhere there are police forces using violence to keep society in shackles. There are people with an inability to pay the rent, living in the gutter, everywhere even in America, one of the richest countries in the world. In addition to its political charge, Wright’s debut is also autobiographical. In Issues, he sings about his troubled upbringing, noting his decision to spend the few dollars he had left at one point on strings for his guitar even though he was practically starving. My Decision is a playful tune about searching the whole, wide world for a good girl. I want to play my music for people everywhere, he says. Send me to Greenland with the Eskimos in their igloos, and I’ll play for them. I want to keep spreading the word until I drop dead.

Baby 81 $9.07 Baby 81 is an ambitious, powerful, guitar-driven rock’n'roll record that’s guaranteed to get people jumping and thinking. Sonically it’s a far cry from 2005’s rootsy, acoustic Howl, Baby 81 was born only minutes after the final track on Howl was completed, when Peter Hayes (guitars/vocals) and Robert Levon Been (bass/vocals/keys) were rejoined in the studio by drummer Nick Jago after a brief break up earlier that year. I was almost in tears the whole time, it was very emotional, Jago recalls. That was the most memorable recording session I’ve had. Been felt the same way: After laying down the inspired, hard-charging Took Out a Loan and 666 Conducer, I held onto those two songs for the next year, daydreaming about what would happen if we finished that Been says.Baby 81 is a driving rock’n'roll record that still maintains Howl’s folky core. I see it kind of as the sister of Howl, Hayes says. Lyrically, the group lasers in on a theme they’ve explored before: Personal revolt. It’s gotta start somewhere, and if it ain’t on a personal level, it’s too easy to beat the crap out of governments with words, Hayes explains. Start with yourself and hopefully you get enough people doing it on their own and we can all come together. Track Listing1. Took Out a Loan2. Berlin3. Weapon of Choice4. Window5. Cold Wind6.

Beauty & Crime $18.98 On Beauty & Crime, the Blue Note Records debut from Suzanne Vega, the Manhattan native uses New York City as the backdrop for a collection of eleven new songs that juxtapose acoustic guitar-driven melodies with coolly synthesized beats; intensely personal lyrics with compelling, short story-like narratives; images of today’s scarred cityscape with memories of Vega’s old Upper West Side ‘hood and Lower East Side haunts. The past co-mingles with the present, the public with the private, familiar sounds with the utterly new, just like the city itself. Making her first new studio album in six years, Vega says, I feel like I really stretched my limits. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone — to sing in keys I wouldn’t have sung in before, to work with different textures, to be unafraid of doing what ever sounded good to me. I wanted to make a modern classic.

Bebe Live And Up Close (Bonus Tracks) (Live) $9.3 BeBe Winans’ career in music and ministry can be described as both groundbreaking and bridge-building. While helping to define a contemporary path for gospel music, BeBe has created new connections between gospel and R&B, making peers and fans alike recognize this singer/songwriter/producer as a modern-day music pioneer. BeBe’s sophomore Motown release, BeBe Live And Up Close, is both a retrospective and a look ahead. The new project combines fresh interpretations of hits from his two solo albums and the ever-popular BeBe and CeCe Winans’ songbook, with exciting stage debuts of new songs, as well as two outstanding new studio tracks. Do You Know Him fuses a bubbly new groove with irresistible retro echoes of the Chi-Lites and Al Green, while Lay Them Down wraps a message of comfort in a warm coat of acoustic guitar and harmonies sung by BeBe and guest Eric Dawkins (Dawkins & Dawkins). Both tunes were written by BeBe and produced by Warryn Baby Dub Campbell (Mary Mary, Yolanda Adams, Luther Vandross, Angie Stone, Sisqo, O-Town), one of BeBe’s collaborators from his previous Motown album, Love & Freedom. In live performances, BeBe unveils a beautiful new heartland-influenced arrangement of Amazing Grace, and an inspiring ballad, I Fell In Love With God, while offering some straight common sense in Humpty Dumpty. Margaret Bell-Byars steps out of the chorus for I Wanna Be, the 1997 U.K. No. 1 single and pop crossover hit in Europe for BeBe and British girl-group Eternal. Little sister Debbie Winans-Lowe joins BeBe for an extended medley of the BeBe and CeCe classics: Heaven, Meantime, Celebrate New Life and Lost Without You.

Blackened Air $10.61 Making great music is all about the line. There’s a line, like a telephone cord and it goes from someone’s brain to a guitar through some kind of band into microphones onto tape onto records and into the home of the listener. It’s a long line, and making it short, as close to invisible as possible, is a trick that hardly anyone can do well. It takes discipline, a lack of ego, generosity coupled with the kind of circumspection that doesn’t come easily to someone who thinks his/her innermost thoughts are worthy of public consumption. On Blackened Air, Nina Nastasia and her band continue to keep the line short to the point of vanishing, even as they expand on the more straightforward, almost sing-song qualities of her debut album, Dogs. Both records were documented by Steve Albini in Chicago. Where they were once content to support a vocal melody, they now pry it apart and look down its throat. The stringed and wind instruments (viola, cello, mandolin, accordion, bowed saw, acoustic and electric guitars) reach up out of the songs into rarefied territory. Little stories of Peeping Toms and the police lights they bring with them. Graveyards and impolite family. Epigrams against disaster, depression, simple forgetfulness, delivered so effortlessly that the prevision of the delivery registers long after its substance has left its mark. When she sings I’m not hiding anything/I’m not trying to fool you at all, in a song titled That’s All There Is, it is all the truth. A generation-plus of young troubadours pine for things they never had to lose, as if sadness and depression were inevitable consequences of being alive. Natasia’s music is an antidote to all of that. The Blackened Air is a darkish record not just in title, but in examining everything without caving in to decadence, it’s a rejuvenating experience. It’s informed, without affect, unique and succinct. Above all, it’s beautiful to hear and a pleasure to have in one’s home.
