Campfire songs

[T Gobbs]

What are some fun, crowd pleasing songs I can bang out on an acoustic? I need to expand my repertoire.

CCR songs should be fun and familiar to most .
Bad moon rising would be one .

I mean, depends on if you've got small kids or old farts in the group. Anything from Raffi to Beatles would work

Yup. It's a plague.

I did a stint of only Cowboy Chords on an Acoustic for 10 years. Learned a buttload of tunes
like that. Had to include some Alice in Chains tunes from Sap and Jar of Flies to stay sane.

Pretty sure I knew every song on both of those albums.

 

[Moondog Wily]

Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson all have stuff that works on acoustic and around rings of fire! Sheryl Crow's "Soak Up The Sun" might be fun after a long day of doing the same!!

Both Hotel California and Jack and Diane will get everyone anywhere near the fire belting out the choruses.

Eagles...... Take It Easy
The Band...... The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.

That’s a good one… Along with blackbird

I remember being above a bar (w/ live acts in 50k pop college town) at about 3 o’clock in the morning, long ago. This is where the after parties were.

Someone showed me the most complicated way to play blackbird ever (4/5 fret fingering/stretches). That’s what I know because I never learned it properly. Lmao


Always pleases
