What Do You Look for in an Acoustic Song?
Breathtaking lyrics, complex guitar etc what do you look for in one? If you don't like many maybe think of the one or two you like and whats appealing about them. Everyone should respond cause I need opinions on this like mad y0.

I think I really like when an acoustic song changes pace throughout. Kind of hard to explain really what I mean. Also sometimes it really doesnt take much. Comin' Home by Dallas Green is probably my favourite song to play on acoustic. I love the way it sounds.

i listen to more acousticesque stuff than anything,....
i think i'm drawn to it more because you really get raw emotion from the lyrics and vocals chord progression is important, but it doesnt always have to be elaborate as long as there's that 'something' that sticks with you

Mmmm, passion and emotion are the two main things I look for in an acoustic song....good songwriting is important of course, but without emotion, an acoustic song is nothing

here's a few of my favs,...
maybe it will convey more of what i look for than words YouTube - Black Crowes - Thorn in My Pride (storytellers) i'm a huge black crowes fan,....thus i'm includeing two of my favorites,.....i'm extreamly inspired by this duo,....hell the whole band,..... YouTube - BlackCrowes - She Talks To Angels (storytellers) i love the emotion in 'angels', i love the intro, as it is unique and 'pretty' YouTube - Jim Croce - Operator i really love anything jim croce does,.....my favorite is box number ten,....but i couldnt find a good video of it,... what i love about croce's stuff is the witty lyrics, and while his guitar work is simple, i think his finger work makes it stand out YouTube - Neil Young - Old Man - Live at Massey Hall when i think accoustic, i think neil young,... this is both one of my favorite songs to play, and to hear being played,... the lyrics are simple, yet they convey such a strong oppionion the guitar work does not over shadow the lyric, but it enhances it, which ofcource is extreamly important YouTube - Pure Prairie League - Amie there's no way i could have left out 'amie',....its catchy, upbeat,......the version they always play on the radio, and one most people know, is really a combo of amie and 'fallin in and out of love',.....'fallin' is really what makes the song for me,....the change in mood and tempo is very important for conveying the writters intent i think,.... i'm not sure if this the type of answer you want,....... good luck

If your looking to be inspired by anyone it should defiantly be Simon and Garfunkel. They are the acoustic masters. There lyrics are classic and everyone can take there own from them. They defiantly show there talent in there music. So take a page from them…..
Not just there acoustic stuff too. But I don’t need to tell anyone this do I? |
