acoustic solos

[Crazy Fingers]

What are some songs with good acoustic solos to them?

I've been playing Layla (acoustic) lately and want to know of some more. I love soloing on an acoustic, it sounds so much nicer than screaming, shreiking leads.

Thanks.

now! you take that back!
hehe, well, eagles - hotel california, thats got a solo i believe.

[GN'R]

Lost for Words by Pink Floyd has a couple of awesome acoustic solos.

[fizz]

i recently heard a yngwie malmsteen solo on an acoustic,
just search for him on kazaa or similar.

[55'gibby]

how 'bout these:

'lectric chair blues by david bromberg
hard again (entire CD) by muddy waters (johnny winter on dobro)
candy is dandy by taj mahal
shanty by johnathan edwards



sorry my brain died can't think of others

[kaschmo]

if YOU can play any acoustic solo of yngwie malmsteen, then you can start your career as professional guitar player ;-)

[kaschmo]

but the best acoustic solo (which isn't really a solo) is mason williams - classical guitar


(eric clapton plays it as acoustic solo)

[PaulGilbert]

honestly by harem scarem...very nice!

Is that the one that i sent you?

cause its actually by vinnie moore, the file was named as if it was by malmesteen but actually by vinnie moore.

listen to some vinnie more stuff for very fast classical guitar!

[Daledude2]

Try messing around with the d scale, thats great for makings solos.

But for a modern band Creeds guitarist is cool, for an old school band check out some stevie ray vaughn.

[EdZ]

download acoustic guitar solo by SRV. Crazy...

[SwampDonkey]

"Touch Peel and Stand" by Days of the New has a cool acoustic solo.

[sean_fender_esp]

Blue eyes blue by eric clapton is a cool song

[Pezcore]

gotta love spanish fly

[distr0ided]

wow...that was one helluva bump.. anywayz,

Anything by Al Di Meola and/or Paco de Lucia is great stuff

[Temujin]

if YOU can play any acoustic solo of yngwie malmsteen, then you can start your career as professional guitar player ;-)

Unfortunately, that's not necessarily true :( There just isn't a large demand (if any at all) for we neoclassicalists anymore.

However, Flamenco Diablo and Crying by Malmsteen are excellent pieces to learn and master. They also serve very well to use as warm-up pieces before a performance... They'll get your fingers flying, heart pounding and adrenaline pumping in short order ;)

Santeria-Sublime

Good acoustic song period. The intro is originally played on a clean electric guitar,but it stills sounds great on an acoustic.

[King Rayman]

I already suggested this song to a guy asking about a 1 guitar part song, but it's acoustic and it has some crazy tapping at the end. "More than words" by "extreme." awesome song too. and the intro to "Nothing else matters" by metallica is pretty good too. or even the verses aswell. But ya look into some blues, SRV and the likes. pretty great stuff there.

[Slash 88]

Yeah Patience by Gn'R and Santeria, two cool songs

[guitar27]

Metallica fade to black. Layla by Clapton is a good song to play sweet little riffs.

[stratmansky]

if you like clapton and you like acoustic solos then you'll love "old love" on his unplugged album.
hey king rayman, do you know any songs besides "more than words"?

When you search for acoustic tunes, go back to the times of acoustic artisits.
James Taylor, Jim Croce are a few, some Eagles tunes are composed on acoustic then fined out on electric later. Just have to research and play, go with your own taste in tunes. :eek:
