I'm looking for some popular cover song choices that would be a good fit for a live TRIO format with only one ACOUSTIC guitar, bass and drums.
Ideas? Let's have 'em! Just remember that if the original song has electric guitar solos or any other prominent instrument parts, it won't work live. I only have two hands, and they will be busy playing acoustic.
My weekend band plays bars, weddings, parties, etc, with a mix of rock, pop, blues, roots, party standards and borderline country. With this trio I've only ever played electric. Then, recently we were asked to learn Oasis Wonderwall for a wedding's first-dance number. I used my acoustic and though I'm not crazy about that song, I like the way it sounded - nice contrast and change from the electric.
So now I'm thinking I'd like to have maybe 5 or 6 good acoustic songs ready, so we can throw in 1 or 2 per set for variety.
