I need acoustic songs.

I need some good acoustic songs to learn. Any suggestions?

Maybe something Jack Johnson-ish, or like The General by Dispatch.

I highly recommend The Sundance Kids. They have three downloadable songs here (all three are excellent).

Also: http://www.myspace.com/thesundancekids

They're good, but the fact that nobody outside of Australia has heard of them limits the number of tabs available, therefore limiting their usefulness. Thanks though.

Ah, missed the "to learn" part in the first post. XD

You could try Damien Rice, or some of The Early November's songs. Also, check Dashboard Confessional, if you're into his music at all. XD

anything by Antimatter and anything on Opeth: Damnation

There's also anything by the group America.

Learn to play some Johnny Cash, any praise and worship music translates well (I recommend David Crowder and Charlie Hall, in particular), I know you like Switchfoot from visiting your MySpace page and some of their stuff works well in acoustic form, and "The Missing Wife" by Showbread is a fun, easy song to play acoustic, as well.

I have "Daisy" and "The Blues" already, do they have anything else that translates well? As far as Johnny Cash I learned a few songs from his American IV album, I haven't heard much of his other stuff though; any favorites? P.S. regarding myspace: your song has been deleted, change it! XD

Thanks for the recommendations everyone else! Keep 'em comin'!

THEY TOOK "IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS" OFF??????????? Darn illegal people putting stuff up for their pages. Oh well, I'll figure something else out. You need to leave me some comment love, too. I've been lacking lately.

Anyway, as far as Switchfoot stuff that is fun to play acoustically, "Only Hope" from New Way to be Human is fun, and a very powerful song, and if you can figure out how to convert it to acoustic, "The Loser" from Learning to Breathe is one of my favorites to play, as well. Also, "Freakish" and "At Your Funeral" by Saves the Day are greaaaat fun to play acoustic. The only difficult part about "At Your Funeral" is the solo but even it isn't that hard. The song is basically D, A, and G with an Em in there, too, over and over.

As for favorite Johnny Cash songs, "Folsom Prison Blues," "The Man Comes Around," "Hurt," "Ring of Fire," and "Walk the Line" are all pretty easy and fun to play.
