    In this video I am playing 30 songs that are great fun to play on an acoustic guitar. Real classics.
    In my 12 years of teaching I know what kind of songs are well suited for learning purposes or just overall fun to play.
    I'm not claiming these are the 30 best songs ever written. To be honest, some songs aren't my favorite by miles. But as a teacher and (hopefully) an inspiration, I want to have a wide palette of songs for you to enjoy! And for all songs goes; they are awesome to play on an acoustic guitar!

      There were a couple of mistakes, that fall into a guitarist's realm of "got away with that"'s, and "I meant to do that"'s
      If you play a lot, you can point out inconsistencies... or just listen to great playing.

I've been wanting to learn to play for 10 years and kept giving up. Just inherited a Martin D16GT when my father died a few months ago. I think it's time I take this guitar and start learning for real. So overwhelming trying to figure out the best approach to learning. I want to understand the language of music-- notation and theory-- want to learn guitar and piano-- want to play favorite songs and someday write my own songs, as I am a poetry writer. Anyway. Glad I found this page.

    Also I'm glad you had "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" by LZ in your list. It's a must do for everyone on the acoustic guitar although I was wondering why you missed "Dust in the Wind" in such a list. But there are already enough guys complaining about missing songs here (how dare you not to cover all 2 billion acoustic songs on this planet in your list?!).

      You guys didn't know? He used a software known as autocleaning.
      It is very similar to auto tuning with the difference that when the sound gets to a minimal threshold of sound the software turns that little interference noise into absolute silence.
      The software is intelligent too. It may correct bad fingerings and poor sound projection, making even real mediocre jerk guitar players into awesome ones.
      If you want a software like this, let me assure you, I was kidding the entire time.
      Paul plays awesome and let never be such a stupid thing that replaces human playing.
