It’s very easy to get caught up in the great electric guitar songs that are around. Have you ever stopped to notice the terrific acoustic guitar songs that are around?
“More Than Words” is a ballad from a very unlikely funk metal rock band called Extreme. The entire song was composed to be played on an acoustic guitar by Nuno Bettencourt who can normally be seen playing a Washburn Electric guitar.
Another unlikely song for acoustic guitars is Maggie May. Written by Rod Stewart it has a very strong acoustic influence that can be heard throughout the song with a familiar picking style.
The next song starts out acoustically but quite rapidly accelerates to a quick tempo hard rock song. ”Crazy On You” has a snappy acoustic guitar intro played by Nancy Wilson of Heart, it is often overlooked because of the songs electric guitar riff that can be heard throughout the song.
