What a title huh? Well, today I would like to share a list with beautiful acoustic guitar songs from contemporary singer songwriters. We all know the songs of the great singer songwriters like Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, so I thought it would be nice for a change to put together a list with the next generation of singer songwriters.
Don’t get hung up on the order of this list, nor the incompleteness. I know that the amount of singer songwriters that can be added to this list is infinite, so I hope you put your recommendations in the comments below. There is one rule though, they need to be guitar players :)
Some of the artists in this list you might already be familiar with, others may be new to you. A good reason to check out these great songs, guitars and voices. Get yourself a cup of coffee, pick out your favourites, and start playing!

Guitarist And Songwriter Lonnie Knight, Who Kept Gigging Through Cancer, Dies At 68
A songwriter needs a guitar which is easy to use in different environments. So it doesn't need to be loud or special, but it does need to score high on playability and usefulness. It needs to be portable and light, and of good enough quality to inspire creativity.
If you're writing jazz, rock, rock and roll, or metal. Then you'll need an electric. But you'll only need an electric for putting riffs and textures together or performing. The chances are you'll still need something user friendly and accessible for actual songwriting.
If you only have the budget for one guitar, make sure you're absolutely certain that you're a metal head / jazz freak before committing to realm of Volts and Amps. Electric guitars are made for guitarist rather than songwriters.
Singer Songwriter Guitar Chords You Must Know
Assuming you're going for acoustic, they come in two flavours and this is very much a matter of personal choice. But, there are a few of technical considerations which I'll get right into.
Most people will tell you that steel strings are louder. Well, that's debatable and only true if you use thicker strings and have a big guitar. And in any case, loudness is not something you should get excited about. Playability is much more important.
And that brings me nicely on to why you should give nylon a try. Thick steel strings are not user friendly, they're hard on your fingers especially when you are learning or playing a lot. Thin, light gauge steel strings are very easy to play but the quality of sound suffers; they are quiet and tinny. On the whole nylon is much easier to get along with.

With some steel string guitars, you could put nylon strings on them. But if you put steel strings on a guitar designed for nylon, it will bend out of shape or even collapse under the extra tension. DON'T TRY THIS.
Also with steel, there is a bamboozling array of guitar body shapes which make choosing one confusing. I explain these choices later in the article - with nylon, the body of the guitars are pretty similar so it's not as confusing.
On the whole, it comes down to what you prefer. Steel strings sound brighter and nylon is easier to play. Those are your choices.
How To Succeed As A Songwriter
Songwriters generally, don't need to be able make lots of fast chord changes like you might with a thin-necked electric guitar. Nor do they usually play intricate detailed passages with the pin point accuracy of a full width classical guitar.
Don't under estimate the importance of this. If you end up with a guitar which feels horrible and doesn't fit your hand, you'll be fighting with it for as long as you own it. So, think long term, if a guitar feels wrong, reject it.
When we say 'neck width, ' we measure it at the thinnest point which is where the strings gather to go over the 'nut' and onto the 'tuning pegs' or 'headstock.'

A songwriter needs a neck which isn't too small, and isn't too large. Any of the middle sizes is ok with the upper middle range, that is 45mm to 48 mm, being optimum.
A songwriter is bound to experiment and this size of neck makes the guitar flexible enough to cope with most styles and genres, and easy play.
As a songwriter you need a guitar which you can use in as many environments as possible. It's better to have a cheaper guitar which you can play in any situation than one which sounds great but you can't plug in.

You need to be able to play your song anytime, any place and seriously, a small difference in the quality of instrument is totally undermined if you have to then mess about with mics or outboard pickups.
Your songs are too important to be silenced by a 'pure bred' axe which can't cut it. So always buy a guitar with a built in, factory fitted pickup, you will not regret it.
