Like you I am a bass player first, but I play just enough acoustic guitar to be a songwriter and I used to play solo gigs with just me and a guitar. Thinking in terms of what works pretty easily with just one guitar and a vocal and in my case, a vocal range of only 1&amp;1/2 octaves and what gets a good audience response from a typical audience:</p> <p>Fire and Rain - James Taylor<br /> American Pie - Don Mclean<br /> Sundown - Gordon Lightfoot<br /> America - Simon &amp; Garfunkle<br /> Good Time Charlie&#39;s Got the Blues - ?<br /> Please Come to Boston - Dave Loggins<br /> King of the Road - Roger Miller<br /> Mr. Bojangles - JJW<br /> Blue Eyes Cryin&#39; In the Rain - Willie Nelson<br /> Solitary Man - Neil Diamond<br /> Amarillo By Mornin&#39;- Terry Stafford, George Strait<br /> Anything by Jim Croce<br /> Danny&#39;s Song - Kenny Loggins<br /> Good Old Boys Like Me - Don Williams<br /> Pancho &amp; Lefty - Townes VanZandt<br /> City of New Orleans - Steve Goodman<br /> If You Could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot<br /> California Dreamin&#39; - Mamas and Papas</p> <p>That&#39;s all I have for now</p> <p>Good luck,<br /> Bill </p> http://www.musicianwages.com/forums/topic/acousticsinger-songlist#post-316 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 05:54:39 +0000 ameiner 316@http://www.musicianwages.com/forums/ <p>I liked the top 100 piano bar song list.</p> <p>I&#39;m a bass player that is also an amateur guitarist/singer and I&#39;m interested in going solo just so I can have some gigs without having to have a band or someone to accompany. </p> <p>I&#39;ve been searching the web for help with repertoire, but theres not much out there and from what I see the majority of guitarist/singers play originals.</p> <p>It always depends on your audience etc. and really its how the singer interprets the song (especially if its not an acoustic type thing originally), but if we think of a general audience what kind of list could we come up with similar to the Piano bar thing. </p>
