Acoustic / Stripped down

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Time to lay down your 4 favourite acoustic / stripped down songs. Not looking for what you think are the best - just your 4 personal faves.

These type of tracks bring out the best in performance artists as there’s no place to hide. Looking for tone, tempo, melody and lyrics - it’s all laid bare for the audience.

I’ll start with my 4 personal faves

1. Every Little thing - J.R. Richards
Such a beautiful song



2. Ordinary World - Duran Duran
Oasis would have proud to write and perform this



3. Iris - Goo Goo Dolls



4. Breathe - Greenwheel
Just love this

There should be a minimum 30-day waiting period before one can purchase an acoustic guitar, especially if you are under 25, or over 26.

I guess you could treat it a bit like driving - a drink/playing limit, a certain amount of lessons, third party insurance, MOT
