Great acoustic guitar on classic rock records

Anything featuring Stephen Stills. He’s great on both electric and acoustic.

 

Lou Reed Coney Island Baby

 

Bee Gees Odessa

 

All the Big Star records have really nice acoustic guitars.

 

Yeah I don’t know if my last one is “classic rock” lol. Pretty tough to come up with ones we don’t all know (as they’re classic )

 

Ziggy Stardust album.

 

Blood on the Tracks

 

Naked Songs - Rickie Lee Jones

Nirvana - unplugged

Niel Young - harvest moon

 

Tommy is chock-full of great acoustic playing, but the solo in I'm Free is one of the best moments on the album.

Turn Of The Century on Going For The One.

Most Joni Mitchell albums, take your pick.

 

Also, not classic rock. But worth checking out.

 

I always love that Bowie as Ziggy almost always has this big 12 string acoustic guitar.

 

Donovan's Sunshine Superman album (1966) some beautifully recorded acoustic guitar

 

Tom Rush, No Regrets/Rockport Sunday

I don't know why they put the songs in that order, on the original album Rockport came first, which works better for me, but some beautiful acoustic guitar either way

 

Jackson Browne - For Everyman, listening to it now.

 

Well, I don’t listen much anymore, but who can deny Steve Howe’s intro to Roundabout.

Many Decemberists songs, both Colin and Chris

 

Paul McCartney - McCartney, Ram, Band On The Run

Love especially the sound and performance on „Momma Miss America“, so rocking and refreshing.

 

Allman Brothers

 

CSN debut

 

I'm not a Zeppelin guy but I would mention Houses Of The Holy.

 

Dan Hicks



" I Scare Myself " Dan Hicks and The Hot Licks

Flight Of The Fly

 

Jumpin jack Flash and Street Fighting Man

 

Boston
“More Than A Feeling”
“Long Time”

And others....

 

Many many by the Kinks, but I always loved the intro here

 

It can't be bad to salute the late Danny Kirwan one more time.

 

Marc Bolan in many T-Rex songs! I love the effect that he get when he double tracked his acoustic guitar. Many layers of acoustic guitars with different rhythms. Amazing
