What are good acoustic songs to learn?

Post by DaNextSlash »

Going through a major acoustic guitar period after listening to some Andy McKee. Would really like to learn his kinda stuff but can't really be bothered retuning the guitar...

So is there other artists that play similar stuff be in more or less standard as opposed to open tuning?

Or maybe some latin stuff.....should really learn some of that sometime....

Cheers all
Hmmm....Its niiiiiice

Tenacious D, err - no. Phil Keaggy does nice acoustic stuff (with heaps of loops and delay)
