Post all your favorite songs for acoustic guitar... preferably relatively easy ones that have tabs so I can download them, learn them, and woo the ladies.

My short list:

The Freshmen - Verve Pipe
All For You - Sister Hazel
Purple Haze - Jimi

The best acoustic that is hella easy to play are Ben Harper songs,
WAITING FOR AN ANGEL
BURN ONE DOWN
FOREVER
WALK AWAY
and what sounds tight and is really easy to play is Jack Johnson's stuff,
i love to bust flake out because it is easy to sing to, and you can bullshit to chicks that you made it up

probably because Stairway isnt the easiest song to play.

my advice is this: although it is sometimes more complicated, learning as many radiohead songs as you can will make you 100 percent better than you were before due to the un conventional progressions, and the chords they use. other pop rock songs are fun to play, but to improve you playing, learn radiohead...fade out, karma police, high and dry fake plastic trees, anything from the pablo honey album, and definatly work up to paranoid android.. if your intermediate, you can get em with a bit of practice.

Ben Harper songs are perhaps best acousitc songs to play and they're pretty easy. Favourite has to be Walk Away but another Lonely Day is pretty easy too.

Jack Johnson songs are also pretty easy and try Pete Murray songs as well.

You could try Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin. It's kinda tough until you get the feeling for it. but once you get it you will be really happy!
