Best Acoustic Song You've Heard

What is the best acoustic song you've heard?

Iris acoustic version.

Just my opinion though.

Everything by Tommy Emmanuel. Not the name of a song, I mean EVERYTHING!

Everlong by Foo Fighters

That is such a hard question. Cannot answer. Cannot.

Any acoustic rendition of Snow Patrol's "Run" arranged by themselves. Nuff said.

Stairway to Heaven

I don't care if it has electric guitar in it, thisis one of THE greatest instrumentals ever.

go insane - lindsey buckingham

listen to the c1assical guitar version, not the terrible 80's pop version.

No song comes close to this or this

At least in terms of guitar.

while both of those are really good songs, i have to ask why people think the "folk guitar slap" seems to be the new pinnacle of playing.

^ buckingham uses long nails too. actually quite a few "hand players" either grow out their own or use the expensive press ons :P

I guess i should've been more specific. i see lots of posts here and there referencing one of the many growing "slap n tap virtuosos" as the best ever. they're great musicians and songwriters but i dunno. ever feel so bombarded with something it loses its charm? i really like riverdance music, i also love native american music. but i don't think i could do solely either of them for an hour straight.

now vic wooten, i could listen to that dude all day

Oh I see your point :P

One must remember, a lot of the users here are naive and ignorant of subjects they think they know a lot about.

Vampire Weekend "I'm going down" Springsteen Cover http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZUMEIHLwGs

The Bouncing Souls "Night on Earth" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82ySYpZFSTo

At the moment, I choose this.

Anything off of Alice in Chains Unplugged. That album is astonishing.metallica_fan42

My favorite Unplugged album is from Alice in Chains. :)

Andy McKee's Drifting is probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen and heard on an acoustic. It's linked about, so I'm not gonna bother. :P

Motorcycle Drive By - Third Eye Blind

No question.

Hurt by NIN or Rush's acoustic version of Resist

Going to California by Led Zeppelin is one of my personal favorites as for the best its arguable just like most things.

someone mentioned alice in chains and it made me think of my favorite acoustic tune of theirs "don't follow"

heres the lindsey song i mentioned earlier. check it out, awesome stuff

Mediterranean Sundance by Al Di Meola

I really like this one, Cary Brothers- Ride.

Say goodnight Bullet For My Valentine! or Hero of War Rise Against!
