In anticipation of potential opportunities to practice or play guitar over the next few months out in the nice summer weather where there's no electricity, I've taken up my acoustic guitar lately (a rare occurrence) to polish up some of my better acoustic songs. Unfortunately, due to a current lack of transportation abilities (I'm working on my teleportation skills), I've had to cease going to local open stages for the time being. But it hasn't stopped me from continuing to practice and learn new songs.
Anyway, here's the current "acoustic set" I have worked out on my acoustic guitar. Some of these numbers sound especially good acoustically (like the few instrumentals), others are just my best attempt at picking out the songs I know that work best in acoustic form (more emphasis on chords, and less on solos, which are unfortunately very hard to play on my acoustic guitar). Some of them are songs I don't even play very often (or at all) electrically, mostly because they just sound better acoustic.
