Best Songs on the Acoustic Guitar - Part 7
Welcome back loyal readers.
Though it has been awhile, it is time for the list of best acoustic guitar songs to continue.
Here are a few more gems that have earned a spot on this ever-expanding list.
1.
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who.
Little needs to be said when the band The Who is mentioned.
They are pioneers, legends and the creators of true stage mayhem.
They are probably best known for rock anthems like "Who Are You" and "Baba O'Riley" and Keith Moon blowing up his drum set on live TV.
However, while they had some off time between destruction, guitar player Pete Townshend wrote "Bind Blue Eye.
" It is a beautiful song that starts with a guitar playing an arpeggio sequence.
The acoustic guitar work in the song, along with the amazing lyrics is what sets this song apart from a lot of other songs the same time period and genre.
The only black cloud surrounding this song is the less than stellar Limp Bizkit version.
2.
Name - The Goo Goo Dolls - The Goo Goo Dolls are a favorite band of most middle-aged women.
Why? Well, love them or hate them, lead singer John Rzeznik has an amazing voice and the guy can write songs.
"Name" was the band's first big hit off their acclaimed album "Boy Named Goo.
" What really stands out about this song is the fact that the band changed direction with its popularity.
Most do not realized that the Goo Goo Dolls were basically a punk/rock group.
And when "Name" was released its success alienated them from their core fans and opened the doors to a whole new conservative audience.
Though they strayed from their roots with this song, it does not change the fact that the lyrics, vocals and acoustic guitar work is amazing.
The fact that it had such an impact on the band's career shows how significant it really is and why it deserves to be on the list of best acoustic songs.
Hotel California (acoustic version) - The Eagles.
When most people think about The Eagles, "Hotel California" is the first thought that crosses their mind.
And after one listen, it is clear to see why.
The song is simply epic.
But not even the original electric version compares to when The Eagles play it acoustic style.
It is an amazing piece of music and song writing.
The song is creepy and dark, but with beautiful music and vocals.
The acoustic guitar works perfectly for the song and it all leads up to an amazing Joe Walsh guitar solo.
The original is a great song, but the acoustic version is superior.
That's it for now.
Thanks for reading.
