The Top 20 Acoustic Songs of All Time!

You know, I was waiting for two songs, wish you were here and here comes the sun. :)

Did you totally forget Jim Croce 'Operator' or, I Got a name' or, I'll have to say I love you in a song' ?

Great songs and even better playing.

Duane Allman - Little Martha

Emerson Lake and Palmer- “In The Beginning- blows away a number of songs you played. Including the basic strumming on the Oasis sing (whoever they are). And the John Mayer song Daughters and other songs. You left if Stairway also. And The Rain Song. I don’t get how songs with just basic strumming made your list.

Ocean by John Butler is the best acoustic song of all time IMO 👌🏻🔥

Have to say all the guitars sounded awesome except the 12 string which in my opinion sounded horrendous 😮

No Jim Croce? Gordon Lightfoot?

Angie by the Rolling Stones was the reason why I even bought a guitar 😅

Almost thought you wasn’t gonna put our Noel Gallagher in there. The best songwriter of his generation. I don’t know any songwriter who wish they wrote wonderwall.

Angie by the Stones.

I think Stairway to Heaven and She talks to Angels should have been on the list.

Horizons......Blood On The Rooftops. Steve Hackett

All great songs, and beautifully payed, but EVERY SINGLE ONE is from either North America or the UK. That's an incredibly narrow band...

All beautiful guitars and wonderful guitarist.

Well there will always be disagreement on any top 10, top 20 or top 100 picks. Part of the problem is what do you mean by "Top". For me as an amateur guitarist, it would be songs by people who have influenced other guitarists. You have only included a couple of these artists. The most glaring omissions I would say are Bert Jansch, John Martyn and Michael Hedges and possibly Donovan who taught the Beatles how to finger pick.. If you mean by "top" songs which have also been widely known and popular a really glaring omission is Joni Michael. If you go even further back, one would have to include Robert Johnson, certainly Skip James, and maybe Memphis Minnie and Gary Davis. But I thought you did a great job of demonstrating the songs.

WHERES THE JIM CROCHE!!!! OPERATOR! TIME IN A BOTTLE! Great list otherwise

It's not a smash hit but once you try to play it you'll realise what a masterpiece Bron Y Aur is by Led Zep. Mainly because you have to retune your guitar and start all over again, which is actually quite good fun. 😊

Jethro Tull has some amazing guitar pieces. ☺️

amazing :) thank you. can you do a video about how to calculate chords when using a capo?

How come “A horse with no name” was accredited to George Martin ??? 🤔🤔

Very good top 20. I think Angie could easily be in the top 21. Thanks

Spanish Fly 😁

I cried. I'm 70

I'd love to change the world - Alvin Lee & Ten Years After

Great video and song selection... Thank you mucho. But NOBODY makes a better sounding 12-string than Guild. Sorry :)

We all have our own idea of the "Top20 Acoustic Songs of All Time". I would have included Led Zep's "Stairway to Heaven", Kansas' "Dust in the Wind", and Heart's "Crazy On You".

A couple I think should be in any top Acoustic play list is "Time In A Bottle" and "Operator" my Jim Croce. "Rocky Mountain High' and "Annie's Song" by John Denver.

Impossible to do with a top 20. Top 50...maybe.

Good list, but, Jolene should be there, so should hotel California

For god’s sake get on with it

Great job, but might I suggest "From the Beginning".

Well done...I think my top 20 would have included Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel, Dust in the Wind - Kansas, and Silent Lucidity - Queensryche probably ahead of John Mayer, brilliant guitarist that he is. I definitely enjoyed your line up of guitars as well! Best!

Great choice including Over the Hills and Far Away. Good list overall.

Face it on something like this you could probably do a top 500 and still not please everyone!!! I think your list was just fine!!

I would’ve been so cool if you would’ve had a professional singer sitting next to you singing the songs that your playing.

Great tunes and great playing

Nice accoustics ----now try Magic Bus ----?

Pinball Wizard is technically tricky 00yet you have mastered the strum section well!

Your rendering of Neil young is sheer Brilliance ----well done !

Always good to see the acoustic guitar get some recognition. I can't argue much against what you included, and as you say you have to cut it off somewhere or it'll go on forever... But I would humbly suggest "Classical Gas" definitely should've made the top 20.

Time in a bottle has been missed

Surely the Clapton and or Winwood versions of 'Cant find my way home' are deserving

Nick Drake, Pink Moon

INTRO SONG???

lovely selection! i would probably not have included Oasis but I understand...you're a Brit 🙂. I play most of these songs except for John Mayer.

Whats the name of the intro song?
