What song do you play that people wouldn't ordinarily expect acoustic?

[Michael Watts]

I included an arrangement of Roy Buchanan's The Messiah Will Come Again on my debut album Vetiver. You can hear it right here if you like.



All the best

My band does it Bluegrass style and up tempo.

Heard Layla done by a band called Monroe Doctrine back in the 70s, blue grass style. It was great and so memorable I still recall it. I’ll bet Can’t you see is great too. I’d love to hear it.

I just do instrumentals (no-one wants to hear me sing) but I suppose 'Sweet Child of Mine' falls into this category.

I can't think of anything I do that people normally associate with electronic music. I have a huge repertoire, so there must be something! But mostly my songs originated before the advent of the electric guitar.

You can play any song on acoustic. I've seen done even in the disco days. The last acoustic band I was in played "play that funky music".
