I have some spare time and want to brush up on guitar skills but want to learn something new.

I just heard Tangled Up in Blue by Dylan for first time (:rolleyes: yeah i know) and want to get that same sort of "wow" sensation from a tune.

Yes i know its After Hours, but hey, its Christmas!

It's not Fast but Forever by Boyce Avenue or Take you there by Boyce Avenue are two amazing Acoustic/ singing performances.

I love Ben harper songs and another one is "people should smile more" by Ben Harper.You would be better off asking in the music section though.

Skinny love by Bon Iver.

Tuning is a bit funky but the song is great.

I might be going back a few years but She is so beautiful by The Waterboys is an amazing acoustic tune.

Brilliant track. Probably one of their most underrated cos its not a "rock-out" track.

Also Jose Gonzalez version of Joy Divisions "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is pretty cool IMO.
