Recently, I've been working up a few fingerstyle tunes for my own enjoyment. It's a nice break when I'm not out with the band. I love that it's just me and the guitar (seems like most of what I do these days requires 4 other people and a lot of gear to sound like a finished product, or a backing track, which is not very satisfying to me). The tunes are just one's I like, but fairly accessible to the general listener. Beatles, Amazing Grace, Tears for Fears, an Elvis Costello tune, etc etc.

I can't sing a note. That's why I took up lead guitar I guess, and why I am attracted to fingerstyle arrangements. Anyway, my question is if I work up a few sets of this stuff, is there a market for it (if done well, of course)? I'd love to be able to do some solo acoustic gigs from time to time to fill in some gaps. Coffee shops, parties, wine bars, etc. Have any of you guys been able to make a few bucks doing this sort of thing, or do solo acoustic gigs require singing as well?
