  • Some of my favs on acoustic ... ? ? ? lets see ...

    So Sad About Us -- The Who

    "Walter's Theme" and "Ages Of You" from REM's Dead Letter Office

    Dance The Night Away -- Van Halen (everything but the lead and breakdown before the last chorus can be played easily on acoustic, though these two parts require a guitar with easily accessible higher frets, usualy not an acoustic)

    Hunger Strike is pretty damn easy to play anywhere on anything.
    I may recommend reading some older threads, as there are lots of posts on "songs for beginners" that have huge lists of easy pearl jam songs ... usually including the following
    Not For You
    Betterman
    Corduroy ... ok ALL OF VITALOGY (someone usually says that)

    other pj ...
    LAST SOLDIER is great to play on acoustic, you need a CAPO
    Black can be fun though a bit tough in the picking for a beginner i suppose
    Porch is straight ahead except for the solo
    Release is easy fun picking
    Glorified G is pretty easy picking
    Later PJ is not so easy on a whole i would say and is not as widely tabbed but things like

    Light Years, while tricky can be mastered
    Parting Ways is pretty simple
    Present Tense,while in dropped D, can be played with not to much trouble.
    I Am Mine can be done.

    Anything by the Ramones
    I wanna Be Your Boyfriend is fun on acoustic
    Needles And Pins is pretty.

    Dead Flowers by the Rolling Stones and
    Used To Love Her by Guns N Roses, same song different words, D and A easy as hell.

    Jane Says -- G and A ... easy as poop.

    Over The Hills And Far Away by Zeppelin is not too bad. same with
    Your Time Is Gonna Come

    Let My Love Open The Door -- P Townshend not too bad,pearl jams way, anyhow.

    Any song that Eddie Vedder covers as a solo set performance can be done.

    Hope that helps.
    I'll post more as i can think of them.
    I don't much care for my acoustic guitar.
    I like SUSTAIN.
    :)
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?
