Spinless:
No way am I bumping threads more than a month old...
Name songs which will sounded wicked awesome on a steel string acoustic.
They should also be fun to play, and have lots of diddly slidey bits and bends.
Other than that, it can be ANYTHING. Now to give this thread value to people that aren't me...
Tricks, tips, useful scales and advice, rules, facts and trivia.
If you're gonna contribute a song, rate it from 'beginner' to 'advanced'.


I'll start.
*Don't put fluffy things on the headstock, it looks stupid. Same goes for things hanging on strings.
*Don't overdo it with the stickers.
*Learn things outside of your music comfort zone.
*Don't buy a guitar because it looks prettiest. Buy it because it sounds good and feels comfortable. If you've never held a guitar before, don't buy a daisy rock or a flying V. That would make you a moron.

Kai:
I would totally kill for a steel string acoustic.



As well as a fretless guitar.


And a slide guitar.

Mikendher:
My favorite songs to play:

Iron & Wine - Each Coming Night
The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun
Kansas - Dust In The Wind
Elliott Smith - Angeles
Emiliana Torrini - Sunny Road

Most of them are medium or medium/easy difficulty, although Angeles is probably difficult. (I mean that's completely relative, but on my scale of difficulty)

Remember, take care of your guitar! it needs to be around 47 humidity! :-)
I love my Taylor 414ce; best guitar I've ever played, even than Martins.

Rubby:
I bought my 12 string steal string acoustic for $50 from a friend. I always only string it as a six string though, 12 sounds nice but six is more versatile. But the thing is I don’t really care about it too much, and I beat the hell out of it. I drop it, I take it out busking in February, all that shit. I do have a nice electric SG, but I just really like playing an acoustic better, it’s more fun to just strum chords and sing along. One song I really enjoy playing with it is “Tunnels” by Arcade Fire. That riff at the beginning is sort of an F7 scale, so you can drone an F barre and play the riff around it. It sounds so nice when you kick in the riff for the first time. Also “It’s 5” by Architecture in Helsinki is super fun and simple. The main riff is just the classic G, G/F#, Em, C. The break down is a little different (E/C5, G5, Cadd9, A5, B#add9, Cdim2(?), Cadd9, D5, C5, D5, C5) but it’s all quite easy and fun!

Mikendher:
Oh man, I feel bad for that 12 string, especially the truss rod for only taking 6 strings. But if you're having fun, that's all that matters :-)
