I had the idea to do a post about the best acoustic guitar songs and thought it would be fun to try and put together a list of my favourites. As soon as I started though, the ‘fun’ turned to despair as I had to start choosing which classics to include and which to leave out. It’s not easy, trust me!
After much deliberation, here’s my list of the best acoustic guitar songs ever recorded. Some aren’t strictly acoustic, but they’re all heavily-reliant on an acoustic guitar.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds album review [rating:3/5] Right then, we finally get to hear what the solo album from arguably the best songwriter of his generation sounds like, and the initial reaction is one of…… disappointment.

Deep down I think we all know today’s announcement wasn’t going to be news of a reunion, but for a brief period last night Oasis fans everywhere were holding their breath.
Turns out the big announcement was about the expected 20th anniversary reissue of debut album Definitely Maybe, which is coming at us in May along with the usual bunch of ‘rarities’ and other extras.
It’s all part of something called ‘Chasing The Sun’, which will see Oasis release remastered versions of all of their 90’s albums over the course of this year. (What’s The Story) Morning Glory will follow later in the year, and presumably Be Here Now will be out after that. Read more about Oasis to reissue Definitely Maybe to celebrate 20 year anniversary …
Oasis have just sent the internet (or certain corners of it at least) into meltdown with the news that they will be making a special announcement at 9am tomorrow (26 Feb). Here’s what they’ve just put up on Facebook:
