You might remember a previous article where we talked about what songs in the Rocksmith library would be best to make you into a Campfire Guitarist. Now, that we have a Microphone Mode specifically for acoustic guitars we’d like to revisit some of the available content in the past three years.

1. Bob Dylan “Like A Rolling Stone”

YouTube player

Can you believe this came out shortly after the first article? In any event this is the epitome of a folk rock anthem, and it’s not too hard to play. If you don’t have the Bob Dylan Song Pack, you could always check out Knockin on Heaven’s Door on the on disc setlist of Rocksmith Remastered/2014.

2. Duran Duran “Ordinary World”

YouTube player

Still very surprised this made it into the three pack.

3. Sublime “Santeria”

YouTube player

Sublime is a band that translates to acoustic very well . This would be my second choice (despite it’s familiarity) the real winner is Badfish from Hit Singles IV

4. Sixpence None the Richer “Kiss Me”

YouTube player

If you don’t mind the capo, give it a go!

5. Outkast “Hey Ya!”

YouTube player

Lose yourself in that catchy chord progression emulating 11/4.

6. Heart “Crazy on You”

YouTube player

If you can make it past the intro and still keep that strumming up, well… Good on ya!

7. Don McLean “American Pie”

YouTube player

This is a no-brainer. There are few more iconic acoustic songs than American Pie.

8. Kansas “Dust In The Wind”

YouTube player

If fingerpicking isn’t your thing the rhythm arrangement is far more approachable

9. Green Day “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)”

YouTube player

You must have seen this one coming…

10. 3 Doors Down “Kryptonite”

YouTube player

This 3 Doors Down hit will translate to an acoustic guitar perfectly

11. Of Monsters and Men “Little Talks”

YouTube player

Hey!

12. The Neighborhood “Sweater Weather”

YouTube player

Tune down to D Standard for this one

13. Collective Soul “December”

YouTube player

It’s a toss up between this or The World I Know but either way you should definitely check out Collective Soul!

14. Shinedown “Simple Man”

YouTube player

Or play the original

15. David Bowie “Space Oddity”

YouTube player

Couldn’t have the article without this gem

16. Stone Temple Pilots “Plush”

Good practice for those thumb chords.

17. Oasis “Wonderwall”

YouTube player

Anyway here’s Wonderwall

18. Fleetwood Mac “Go Your Own Way”

YouTube player

Go your own way, but you need a Capo for this one as well

19. Staind “So Far Away”

YouTube player

Eb Standard isn’t too far away of a tuning we hope

20. Creedence Clearwater Revival “Proud Mary”

YouTube player

Got some good songs in the library

21. Avril Lavigne “Complicated”

YouTube player

This song isn’t that… Difficult
