Top 75 GREATEST Acoustic Guitar Songs That Ever Existed

By Cody Updated: February 12, 2020 No Comments

The acoustic guitar is one of the most popular instruments around. It’s versatile, low maintenance and sounds great. You don’t need to lug around an amp if you’re just playing for a few friends and it provides enough volume to accompany vocals but not so much that it overshadows them.

I personally love playing acoustic guitar. Everything from the sound to the feel of playing a nice acoustic is satisfying. What’s even more satisfying is learning how to play some great acoustic guitar songs. There are so many amazing acoustic guitar songs out there that it’s hard to narrow down some of the best and I’m sure that I’ve left a few out. Although, in this post, I wanted to put together a list of what I think are some of the best acoustic guitar songs ever created and share them with you.

As you may have already noticed, the table below includes 4 columns:

  • The song title (linked to the song on Spotify) and artist
  • Tabs from Ultimate-Guitar and Guitar Pro tabs
  • A link to a video lesson of how to play each song
  • Official guitar tabs

If you prefer to learn a new song by tab, I’d highly recommend using the Guitar Pro tabs whenever available as it can definitely help you get a better feel for the timing of each tab and provide you with more tools to learn songs much faster.

I tried to accommodate various learning styles in this post so whether you prefer to learn from a video lesson, Ultimate-Guitar/Guitar-Pro tabs, or a paperback tab book, the table below has got you covered.

This list is in no particular order so feel free to jump in wherever. Pick a song you like, and start learning how to play it with one of the options provided.

Happy playing!
