Acoustic Set List

purebloom · 03-30-2006, 05:04 PM

Alright guys and gals I noticed that Fool had a setlist suggestion thread. Well, I want your opinions as well. I'd like ideas for simply vocals and one acoustic guitar. The originals dont necessarily have to be that way though - for example I'm thinking about doing a Ben Folds song, obviously piano, bass, drums, etc.

Because I am not in a band right now I've been doing open mics and smaller venues with just acoustic - so I want to shine new light on maybe songs that aren't normally played that way (and some that are).

So, any good ideas... so far I'm thinking Damien Rice, Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens, Ben Folds, Pedro the Lion, Mazzy Star.....

All ideas are welcome! Probably no Metallica or Pantera or anything though... heh.

Great song, but just not my style.

I remember hearing Blues Traveler play Gin & Juice... that was funny.

There has got to be more people who have some cool acoustic renditions! Let's hear what they are!

Or, if you want lyrically superior Bolan, try a Tyrannosaurus Rex song. Pure underground acid folk.

I also think that Ben Folds Five's 'Magic' played on an acoustic guitar is beautiful.
