It doesn't matter how hard or easy it is, just something that sounds cool.

Don't know about you, but I thought the opening of Far Away by Nickelback was pretty cool, even though I didn't really like the song.

High and Dry by radiohead or Force of Nature by Oasis are good.

You could try Nutshell by Alice in Chains; that's always been my favorite song with an acoustic guitar. It includes electric guitar, but that can be done on an acoustic guitar too.

I love that song and can get the acoustic part down that plays through the whole song.

Mr Brightside has a nice sound on acoustic. Too bad all the online tabs are wrong. Musical idiots =\

any song by The Smiths works, they have great acoustic and electric guitar playing

you could try "the weight" by The Band. imo its a great song to learn but i havent checked for any tabs online. the chords arent too complex however and you could learn it if you know them all quite easily

I like Wonderwall by Oasis but that's mostly because it's easy and it makes me feel good about myself when I play through the entire thing with no mistakes. If you have a capo and you're a somewhat experienced guitar player you could probably learn it in just a few hours.

I don't see how Black Water Park could be played on acoustic unless you cut out the climax..which would be pointless.
