Lifehouse - You and Me.

Try Matt Redman's "For the Cross"

A real hard driving guitar tune.

Capo up to Third fret and play Em,D,C

Dave

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

Hey everyone.  Some good bands that have some good Christian rock songs that people haven't listed as of yet are Seventh Day Slumber, Thousand Foot Krutch, Jars of Clay and Kutless.  Each band as at least a few songs posted on the site and they are all really good bands.  Hope this helps!  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

What about Crazy Mary by FM Static. I think this could easily be adapted for the acoustic. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_confused.gif" border=0 alt="Confused">

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

don't know if you would consider "lifehouse" a christian rock band, but i kind of do.  their songs are awesome, lyrics are clean and have a great message.  one really easy song to learn is "You and Me" by Lifehouse.


Also, i like Creed, which is hard rock with a Christian influence.  Great songs, clean lyrics.  check 'em out.

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

its not Christian but if you heard it one time youd maybe think it was


tears in heaven by clapton

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

God of Wonders,  very easy to play  D  C G etc. 

Open the Eyes of My Heart.


I can only Imagine


Better is one Day


Come Now is the Time to Worship  again,  d a eminor f#minor and g. 


Lord I lift your name on high  g c and d chords


the la la la song aka Every Move I Make. d g and a chords.


Also a lot of the praise songs capo on the second or third fret.

try playing Amazing Grace and capo third fret and play it in d g and a.  but jazz it up some.  It doesn't have to be played slow!

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

BTW, I realize the songs i just posted arent hard rock but you asked for acoustic guitar songs.  Also try Heart of Worship,  and Here I am to Worship.

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

you can play just about any christian rock song in G, C, and D. just try it. trust me it works. and it dont sound to bad ether.

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

I'm really into this kind of music too, but I can't seem to find any good stuff....help me out?

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

Like I said you can play almost all christian Rock songs with G, C, and D. I,m not too sure about finding lyrics but you can just listen to get those.

   What kinda songs are you looking for? <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif" border=0 alt="Very Happy">

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

Is that the guitarists Holy Trinity then? <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_rolleyes.gif" border=0 alt="Rolling Eyes">

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

Try Jeremy Camp - most of his stuff is pretty upbeat - with a few hard rock songs.  Most of them can be played acoustic style.

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

try some relient k


"getting into you" is pretty easy

and they have some other easy songs

Re: christian rock acoustic songs : )

I like the idea of MercyMe. They've got some nice christian songs, from all the suggestions given, they'd probably be the one i'd try out.
