Guitar Songs

[Adam Barkley]

I bought my dad an acoustic guitar years ago and he never played it, so I took it back. It's been sitting for too long unplayed and I'd like to have an instrument I can play at later hours without waking the people I share a duplex with.

Basically, I'm looking for some suggestions for artists or songs that are fairly simple to play, in attempt to get my fingers moving. I don't want to be the next Satchriani, just able to strum easier acoustic songs.

I basically know a few Neil Young songs, In the Pines by Leadbelly, and Boom Boom by John Lee Hooker.

Any suggestions?

A Beatle or Rolling Stones songbook.

They're not too exotic and they're fairly accurate. Once in a while they even state whether the tuning is 'open' or standard.

But don't count on it.
