I also play a lot of more popular stuff, fromVincent by Don McLean to “I want you back” by the Jackson 5.
I play an acoustic version of Sultans of Swing, and things like that.
I’m running low on ideas. Anybody have a suggestion?

Do you just want finger style stuff? One of my favorite covers to play is Interstate Love Song by STP, Its got a cool riff with open string drones fattening up some big bends, some fun jazz chords in the verse, and a big anthemic chorus. Just a really fun song to play that sounds great on an acoustic, not fingerstyle in its original form though.
