Seeing as Dell Boy's been conspicuous by his absence lately and there's been a distinct lack of music threads, I encourage you to post your favourite acoustic song.

Yes, that's Fred Durst, but that doesn't detract from it being an ace song.

I've always fucking loved this song, her voice does things to me. Sorry. :)

Alanis Morissette

Crazily sexy time tune, Air - Alone in Kyoto

This is some Irish bloke solo on his piano playing it.

Moby - Everloving. An incredible piece of music despite Moby being a cunt.

I saw simon fowler from ocean colour scene do an acoustic gig tonight and it was fucking awesome, that man has one hell of a voice

Good shout on OCS...

And I forgot this:

The acoustic track I'm playing the most at the moment is this. Not sure of the panda relevance though.

Not really a fan of Dylan but I really like this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvrlniDO5oo&feature=related

Love this from The Jam as well

two blokes, two guitars

I love REM (Although I don't particularly like Michael Stipe). However this acoustic version of Losing My Religion is ace

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUaTJORlWdU

I also love this guy, Newton Faulkner.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKww_Avjkzo

The Circle by OCS - inspired choice! I forgot just how brilliant that version is... Good work Samdy!

Well, Mex inspired it.

ocean colour scene were the 90's best band.great shout with alanis morrisette unplugged too.i have the album of that and it's superb.

anyway here's my offering.this performance gives me goosebumps it's so awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3xwCkhmies

another fav of mine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XC1C-7raLU

that version of big love is immense, and alone in Kyoto (Air) is one of my favouritest tracks ever.

I'll throw this into the ring:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeCMvApKrXc&feature=related

and possibly even better:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VAkOhXIsI0&feature=related

Never been a fan of the tapping acoustic players, just leaves me cold personally.
Here's my choice of the day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOi_wxypeGc

I'm not the only one with amazingly brilliant taste then? ;)

Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats (which is one man, one guitar)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrZbhJ-Qc_c

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRMZnhHbPGE

I would let this man do unspeakable things to me

I cant find a decent youtube of it but anything from Mark Eitzels Songs of Love Live album is fucking stunning.

In particular 'Last Harbour', 'Kathleen' and 'Western Sky'.  Heartbreakingly bleak but devastatingly beautiful.

You'll have to trust me on that I guess.

Arriba, good choices...not a massive queen fan but you cant deny freddie was awesome, sad loss. I have never heard anyone sing any queen song who vocal even comes close.

As for mac, well I play guitar myself, and its clips like that that make me feel like just giving up and packing up...

Good thread.

Some very good suggestions so far.1st video isn't strictly 1 Guitar,but well watching and listening to.

Not really my taste in music, but this guy can play a bit. I give you part of a Joe Bonamassa solo:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLuv7ko-u8c


edit:v ^^^ Why isn't this link embedding? ^^^

Staying on the one bloke one guitar theme, this is my fav cover.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-8nkkOA_AM

really, really, really, really hope he does some solo stuff next year

I rarely get involved in these threads as my taste in music is shit as these probably show  :D

A very underrated artist in my opinion

Has anyone heard the Bob Dylan Xmas album....its mental but strangely appealing.

One of my all time favourite songs, 'My Drug Buddy' performed by Evan Dando of The Lemonheads:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq-N6Qk7q8o

Or, as my friend Chris calls it, "My Drunk Body"

Super Furry Animals playing unplugged in someone's kitchen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiT23O-M4nE

Thanks for posting that Bennett. I never realised Chuck and Chris had another group.

there's "the draft" as well but i'm so uncool i've not bothered utilising the net and getting their album yet

I've not even listened to all the Hot Water Music albums I have yet! Unsurprisingly being away from home most of the time, I haven't had a lot of time to obtain and listen to new music.

You are so sexist whoever started this thread

No need to thank me

super furries badly drawn boy and sugarbabes are ace, nice one

Big Love (Live Acoustic) by Fleetwood Mac is excellent.

Well, two blokes and two guitars but still these are a bit good:

Of course,the master

Heartbeats is one of my favourites but that's already been posted. Love this:

If I have put this on another thread recently I apologise, but The Holy Bible has been in the car cd player for months now:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXrzttSPlc0

I'm on a Manics lovefest myself recently.  That clip is terrific.

Incidentally, after the frankly disastrous Lifeblood, Send Away The Tigers and Journal for Plague Lovers have been brilliant.  Roll on Postcards from a Young Man.

I don't have a clip to post.  I don't know how to.

(ok, two blokes, one girl but still only one guitar)

p.s. the new manics single is reallyreallyreally middle of the road. such a letdown.

I was just about to post this but thought I would have a look and see what else was on here first. Loving it.

Chuck Ragan, although it could be Chuck Norris with a guitar.

Seeing the Nik Drake stuff above reminded me that he was a big pal of John Martyn - I think the Solid Air album was written as a tribute to him.

Anyway, off of Solid Air...
