Good songs to play on guitar

[American Hero]

I've been in a rut lately with my guitar playing, I'm not finding any songs that I think I would enjoy playing. So what are some challenging songs for me to learn? I'm playing on a acoustic guitar so that's the type of music I'm talking about and I guess it might help if I told a couple songs I have recently learned that I enjoy are Wonderwall and Let Her Cry. I don't want anything to complex just something fun and enjoyable. Any ideas?

John Mayer is the only one I can think of... he has an array of songs... not sure about skill level needed though

I was playing Gangplank Galleon, from Donkey Kong Country, the other day and had fun playing it. Also, Terra's Theme isn't too difficult.

seconded. For Emma and Flume.

Neon Bible (the song) by Arcade Fire is super easy to play.

uhhh

I Summon You by Spoon, also.

Well, i'm going to check out everything that has been said. I'm on Bon Iver right now! IT IS SOME REALLY GOOD STUFF! Can't wait to check out the others, this should keep me busy, I'm excited just thinking about it. I have to burn all these songs to a CD so I can learn the lyrics and rhythms. Really like the song Stacks and Blindsided!

I know a little Clapton, need a little Dylan, and want some Stones. I'd like to learn to play Can't Always Get What You Want, I know it'd be super easy to play but the guitar has to be tuned in a weird way and I just get put off on the idea of tuning a guitar a certain way just for one song.

really? I mean, it's okay. it's no For Emma or Flume or Skinny Love or Wolves (Acts I & II)... cough cough cough cough cough

Re: Good songs to play on guitar

I don't like For Emma at all (and from what i can tell it's just 2 chords repeating), the others are pretty good. For Emma just has to much going on for me to want to play, maybe if i heard an acoustic version or something. And it seems I got excited over nothing, out of everything listed Bon Iver is all i like, and of course the Zeppelin song.

Ugh, Flume is a great song! And if you don't feel something with that build-up leading to the end of The Wolves(Act I & II) then I just don't know, man.

Re: Good songs to play on guitar

try playing some Pains of Being Pure at Heart. grab yourself an electric guitar and look up the chords to Young Adult Friction.

Re: Good songs to play on guitar

listened to The Wolves(Act I & II), really good. Hard for me to sing though.
