For cool intermediate songs, you might try these:

Come To My Window by Melissa Etheridge has several interesting rhythm patterns
Band on the Run by Paul McCartney & Wings has some great leads and a cool acoustic part
Californication and Under the Bridge by the Red Hot Chili Peppers are awesome songs
Drive by Incubus has interesting rhythms and fairly unusual lyrics
Plush by Stone Temple Pilots has an interesting beginning
Cheap Trick songs are fun and simple for acoustic, with very interesting lead guitar fills
Peace Of Mind by Boston has interesting acoustic chord progressions with strong leads

I'm currently working on the second solo for Peace of Mind to get it "spot on" as they say.]]> Guitar Players Discussion PRNDL https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/moderately-difficult-acoustic-songs/#post-163540 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/moderately-difficult-acoustic-songs/#post-163388 Mon, 06 Mar 2006 01:38:41 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion JasonColucci https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/moderately-difficult-acoustic-songs/#post-163388 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/moderately-difficult-acoustic-songs/#post-163259 Sun, 05 Mar 2006 07:06:02 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Lava Man https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/moderately-difficult-acoustic-songs/#post-163259 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/moderately-difficult-acoustic-songs/#post-163185 Sat, 04 Mar 2006 19:55:10 +0000
Here's a few I've been trying lately

Thick as a brick- Jethro Tull
Horizons-Genesis
Prelude 1 in C major-JS Bach

Some alternate tunings
Going to California-Zeppelin
The Rain song-Zeppelin
Never Going back again-Fleetwood Mack

There are good power tabs for all of them

I'm looking at other genres now when I want something more difficult. Old Robert Johnson blues, dead thumb etc.

But harder acoustic songs, maybe "In the beginning" moody blues, classical gas Mason Williams or anything off of the Kottke armadillo album.

My favorite piece is Mood for a Day by steve howe from fragile.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/moderately-difficult-acoustic-songs/#post-163181 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/moderately-difficult-acoustic-songs/#post-163180 Sat, 04 Mar 2006 19:02:54 +0000

With a little luck, I'll have a demonstration on this within the next week or so on the Songs for Intermediates lesson page with, of all things, Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time.
