The Best Acoustic Songs
February 2nd, 2010
I’ve noticed something very interesting about acoustic music lately. I’ve played my guitar for a while and tried to write acoustic songs, and after playing for so long, I think I’ve recognized a pattern in the best acoustic songs. Of course, there is no rule that will automatically produce good acoustic music. But I’ve seen that the best acoustic songs are simple and robust.
By simple I mean that some of the best acoustic songs ever only have four chords. A lot of those simple songs keep a very easy chord progression, or even the same progression throughout the song. By robust, I mean that they are adaptable. The melody of the songs can vary in many ways around that simple riff. As an acoustic artist, I’ve learned alot by playing the best acoustic songs.
