Dust in the wind, easy way to start fingerstyle.

The strummed version of Hotel California (like Bm, F#, A, E, simple chords), people don't notice the difference with the real one.

Once you get dust in the wind down, try to tackle stairway, it's really pretty easy if you

its a tight song but youll have to tab it yourself or get someone to and use a slide-id say its worth the extra work as its probably the best acoustic song ive heard in a long while

thats a killer song man, i never tried playin it tho, is it standard tuning? Rain song is definetely awesome to play.

you can modify Hey Joe to the acoustic and it's very fun and sounds sick, so is The Wind Cries Mary, 2 fun Hendrix tunes. A lot of Tenacious D's songs are super easy to play, but still very nice on the ear, and great at keggers... Pearl Jam:Daughter. If you like just mellow mellow guitar, all of Jack Johnson's stuff is pretty easy and very mellow, and it's all meant for the acoustic basically. Check out anything on Clapton Unplugged, thats all awesome. And as was said before, any Bod Dylan.

kinda slow it down, mellow it out, no crazy crazy fingerwork, and more groovin flow, not that it doesn't have that anyway, but its hard to explain, lemme record an electric and then an acoustic version for ya man.
