I think "Never Going Back Again" by Fleetwood Mac would be a good song for such an occasion.

Do you play with a band or only acoustic guitar
I also depend on the crowed. Try something like: - supertramp: give a little bid - the beatles: Hey Jude - Stones: you can't always get what you want, Angie - Police: Roxanne - Sting: Fragile - Eagles: hotel California or takes it easy - America:horse with no name - Guns n Roses: patience - Rod Steward: I am sailing - Chistoffer Cross: sailing - Kansas: dust in the wind Any good cover book will have some stuff like this. Good luck mate -------------------- Gear:

I`m playing alone, and until I learn to sing properly, its guitar exclusively!
Thanks for the tips

Check out arrangements from Sungha Jung to get some ideas which songs to cover.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgVqX0a49HM Having a repertoire of songs that are arranged to play rhythm+melody at the same time on acoustic is always a great skill to have. Such arrangements are always entertaining , at least to me!

I subconsciously wait for that dreadful moment in social gatherings where someone suddenly jumps up n says "do you know hotel California?"  And no , i dont know how to play it but can confirm too that its a crowd favorite for sure. -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"

Hotel California, Stairway to heaven, Claptons "Tears in Heaven", All Beatles.... , Still got the blues....
Oooh, now I remember, there's a site on the internet who have easy arrangemants for famous songs.... They have PLENTY, almost every one You can imagine..... Its LickByNeck.com , look under "Solo guitar" and You will find plenty of arrangements... you have to use their software though, but it works perfectly and its free!!!! //Staffay EDIT: And You dont have to learn to sing, at every party I've been playing at, there are at least 4-5 women who loves their own voice (even that I mostley disagree... ) It will do if You just know the chords for the songs, since when You begin to play a lot of people are eager to join!

That last point was the one that was going to save me, I hoped But, I got a friend to join me, who both sings and plays very good, so I think this will go pretty good
