Thank you, Joel!

Now that's what I'm talking about. However, I would like to find songs less than 15 years old. Got any?




.

I believe you'd like to find something less then 15 years old.

What kind of girls go out with soft, pudgy, old guys?

You're just jealous because you look like a rabid goat. I lost count of how many hot girls I've been dating. Not a dud in the bunch.



But I know you also have a lot of chicks because I found the video:

It's your story, tell it how you want.

No chicks here, been with the same woman on and off since 1979,
I'm kinda of a sinner, and she's kinda of a saint.

I'm getting better.

Sounds like your getting worse.

Poor Judas never discovered what life's really about.

I don't know what your skill-level is, but these songs work for me every week: At an open-mic, they are all show-stoppers. Bear in mind that on some of these, I use a TC Helicon VoiceLive GTX unit for vocal harmony. If you are going to go solo, you really should get one of these, or a similar unit. They are invaluable.

American Pie - Don McClean
Fire and Rain - James Taylor
Time In A Bottle - Jim Croce
7 Bridges Road - Eagles
Hotel California - Eagles
La Bamba - Ritchie Valence (I do this on my nylon-string)
Wind Beneath My Wings - Gary Morris
Rocky Mountain High - John Denver ( on 12-string)
Stay - Jackson Browne

Wreck Of The Edmond Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot

The Weight - The Band
Band On The Run - Paul McCartney and Wings
Daydream Believer - The Monkees
Tears Of A Clown - Smokey Robinson



There are a lot more, but these are enough to intimidate the competition.

Have fun....

While there are some classic gems in there, every song is 40 years old or more. Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald? Really? This only work in VFW halls with people over 60.

For example, instead of LaBamba (the 50s?) maybe Despacito.

Welcome to the Old Farts Club. I'm trying to find the exit here, bro.

OK, Here is a good example of what a modern solo acoustic song would look like:

Attention Old Farts: The trend among really hot girls these days is this guy, Bazzi. Now you can go back to sleep.

And this is a good example of a recording artist & songwriter that isn't much of a musician when it comes to a guitar, but he made it on his voice and his looks. Over 300 million spins of this song. And it's easy to pull off with one guitar if you can sing it. (I'd probably have to substitute a couple of words lol )

Gawd, horrible plugged in guitar sound - that' s the best they can get from a Gibson? I listen to enough indie radio, that I recognize the sound/style. Boy band-cutey pie, yeah, that's what the young ladies want to watch (music is only secondary.)

yea, and the guy can't even play his own huge hit song??? Did you notice in the comments that women didn't care that he couldn't play or sing this. I found out about him from hearing so many women that love this song. But really, try talking these lyrics instead of singing them and it would be considered sexual harrassment if the girl isn't REALLY into you.

Sex is still the heartbeat of most modern music, so a 58 year old singing this song doesn't have the same "pizzaz" but I can perform his song better than he does. Maybe that will count for something with hot 40 year olds? lol

So now you know what kinds of solo acoustic songs I'm looking for.

4 sets. 2 down, 2 to go.

This guy, Ed Sheeran. His songs are touching female hearts all over, and his vocals are probably a good range and style for you Ted. Give him a look.

Awesome.....that's what I'm talking about.

Ed Sheeran has been wowing the teenage girls for a few years now, you never heard of him, Yod? At an open mic on Saturday there was a 19-year-old kid (playing for just 3 years now) who sounded much like him. I talked to him and his father briefly, giving them some advice about networking in the Boston area.

All songs can work on a single guitar. You just have to modify them accordingly, and make them your own.... That's what guitars are all about....

Any song can be played but not all "work"

That's what I'm looking for....songs that I could rock on an acoustic and are so popular that every girl in the place would know the words. Who cares what guys think....unless they've got a hot sister?
