[@christophercampbell4272]

My 80s song list in top 10 is van Halen jump livin on a prayer Bon jovi u2 without or without you every breath you take by the police another bite the dust by queen just beat it by Michael Jackson run to the hills by iron maiden tainted love by soft cell love will never tear us apart by joy division that’s my 10 song list in 80s Andy

[@ALANDICKIE1]

Whitesnake - Here I go again. Sounds great on acoustic INXS - Never tear us apart

[@andycrowley]

Also, find longer, more in depth tutorials for many of the songs covered here free on this page www.andyguitar.co.uk/songs/top-10-80s-songs-on-acoustic-guitar/ Hope it helps!

[@ricomajestic]

If all the great artists of the 80s went out on the road these days with an all acoustical set they would be a big hit. Imagine all the synth tunes of the past being remade with acoustic instruments!

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

I have been in a rut with my guitar lately and not playing consistently. This is just the kick in the pants to inspire me. Thank you!

[@nacachola1]

I loved it when you played Rory on Doctor Who

[@andycrowley]

🙌

[@bigrivercod]

This will keep me tinkering away on the guitar for a long time. Thanks Andy.

[@bonnieprice3923]

Andy, thank you for your expertise on various songs throughout years. I really like your playing and teaching!!!

[@BarryFence]

Love that blurred motion of your hand at 4:32! I've never seen that before in a guitar instruction video.

[@Unknown_Guitarist.]

Great collection! Thank you Andy. It's always a pleasure to watch and listen to you play. ❤🙏

[@RSpurs]

Young at heart the Bluebells could be a good 80 acoustic tutorial. I’ve seen a lot of covers and only a few tutorials. It’s the rythym of it that gets me. I see a few on KZbin feels different each one.

[@matthewrumary3700]

Toto africa would be amazing, your style of video is so easy to follow. On a side note, I've had some of your t shirts for a while now, and the comfort and quality is excellent 👌

[@andycrowley]

Great to read! I'm sure I can get Africa filmed soon 👌

[@MrBushwacked69]

​@andycrowley that would be awesome !👌would you be able to do the chords for those with a bit more baritone voice ?

[@dennisrounds1996]

This makes Me Smile

[@MeR-md1jq]

Great selection Andy.

[@ALANDICKIE1]

Cracking list. Thanks Andy

[@GeriWardMusic]

Under Pressure - would love a full lesson on this. I think a good old Alison Moyet/Yazoo song or Erasure maybe???

[@andycrowley]

Here's a complete Under Pressure tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/onfcm36Eqtp9qs0🤙

[@brandeccohall]

The best duet of all time is either "Don Henley and Stevie Knicks Leather and Lace" or "Tom Petty and Stevie Knicks Stop Draggin My Heart Around."

[@360golfer]

Absolutely brilliant I'm going to get stuck in to all of these later today ❤ thanks for the upload

[@imjustthegarbageman759]

Oooh taking me back to my teen years. Brilliant

[@rileyjones3703]

Thank you so much for this mate, I spent the last half hour and just about got down the Hungry Like The Wolf riff. Now I can play 2 popular riffs (this one and the Wish You Were Here riff by Pink Floyd).

[@twometerpeter]

That guitar sounds beautiful

[@actie-reactie]

Thanks for this vid... as a beginner ,playing for 3 months now, these are songs/chords I allmost can handle..... except for the barcodes

[@chrisfulton1689]

Grew up in the 80's, so all of them.

[@guitargrin]

Hazy shade of Winter by the Bangles would be a great addition to this list

[@pennyyoung2291]

I agree, in fact LOTS more songs for women would be good🎶🙏🌷

[@ricomajestic]

But that's actually a 60s song from Simon and Garfunkel!

[@guitargrin]

@@ricomajestic you're right, but the Bangles re-imagined the main riff with distorted guitar that made it so different imo.

[@enjoythesilence169]

Great list. I'm going to learn all of them. I'd add: Time after time by Cyndi Lauper Every rose has its thorn by Poisen Dont dream its over by Crowded house Melt with you by Modern English Will you do a 90's version? 90's is my favorite

[@shemrunboy]

So many great song ideas to pick from your video. Thanks Andy!

[@ZxLayER]

Love the Queen/Bowie riff

[@SteveHigney123go]

loads of fun . Great song selection. Cheers .

[@Grasklipparmannen]

Great one Andy excellent selection at least to say 👍

[@trippvogel1781]

Professional effort for us ….Thankyou

[@garydixon6315]

A-ha Hunting High And Low is the nicest A-ha song to play on the accoustic guitar imo , it's the chord progression I think 😮

[@taomacbass1]

Awesome! More please!

[@AlisonKyle-r5z]

Hi Andy, I love all your videos they are awesome. Could I please request that you do a song lesson on Julian Lennon's song Too late for Goodbyes. I've searched you tube for a good guitar tutorial for the song & haven't found any. You do such an awesome job of creating really easy & assessable guitar lessons. If you get the chance it would be great if you could. Thank you so much. :) Alison

[@paulharrington1140]

That's great Andy, can you do more detailed version on intro of dead or alive please, regards Paul

[@brookewheeler9170]

Yes please do!

[@andycrowley]

No worries 👌

[@paulhill1379]

Great video Andy on some great songs.

[@MyNameIsAndrewLuce]

And don’t forget, if you get the bass line down for Under Pressure you also have Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice!

[@LRBeatles]

The Breakfast Club is a great movie, I’ll have to learn “Don’t You Forget About Me” for sure!

[@andycrowley]

Awesome, full tutorial here if you need it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpPLiqZ-pK-FfNU

[@grantt6573]

80s rocked!

[@pastureexpectationsfarm6412]

I saw that in the theater! 1986

[@knowplay3258]

As a 51yo member of GenX...Don't You Forget About Me is the song that represents our generation!! By far!!

[@pacogaba]

Eres genial amigo, muchas gracias!

[@brucechavez9535]

Dude ! You're so fun to watch and I thought that you are talented. You can sing as well. You picked the songs that I really love as well...I'm now one of your subs here ! 😊😅

[@freesk8]

Thanks a lot! Take On Me was my big takeaway from this one! :)

[@One_Cebu]

Please make a full tutorial for all the songs

[@andycrowley]

Done full tutorials for most of them on this page 👌 www.andyguitar.co.uk/songs/top-10-80s-songs-on-acoustic-guitar/

[@terryburgess6362]

Really like under pressure , full tutorial would be good

[@andycrowley]

Done, it's here:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/onfcm36Eqtp9qs0

[@John_F898]

So iconic!!!

[@robertbuckley2429]

Omg Andy this will keep me immersed for a very long time. Do the same for the 60's as well as the 70's please❤

[@billdelaney4222]

Fantastic lesson put how I can certainly obtain it

[@ryanbergwall9874]

please do summer breeze

[@brianandbarikelly5349]

Great collection! Brings me back to my college days! Cheers!

[@karlbanks3943]

Take On Me gives me Razorlight - Somewhere Else vibes

[@billskimodels4442]

Omg Andy this will keep me immersed for a very long time. Many thanks. Do the same for the 70's please❤

[@andycrowley]

We will - Putting the songlist together with my website members on Monday! 😀

[@rileyjones3703]

Yes, a 70s one would be great. For that one, can you do Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton? One of my favourite 70s songs and Eric songs.

[@freesk8]

I'm a 70's fan! Especially the early '70's.

[@lewishodgson003]

Hi Andy i was wondering if you could do more Arctic Monkey videos. Love your videos, keep up the good work.

[@andycrowley]

Which songs?

[@oscargutierrez4439]

Awesome!!

[@ryanbergwall9874]

can you please do top 10 country songs

[@andycrowley]

Great idea! What songs would make your top 10? :D

[@ЕвгенийСтаценко-и8я]

I'd add Just like heaven by The Cure!

[@andycrowley]

Wicked song, done a tutorial on my youtube already 👌

[@dharris1234]

Anything by SRV would make my list 🙂

[@albertmurillo7522]

Hello Andy, how about Strangelove by Depeche Mode?

[@JohnnyJamesGio]

I had no idea that Rory Williams from Doctor Who was such a good musician :D

[@andycrowley]

He actually is, e saw him live in the Ohklahoma musical in London, proving that in fact, we are not the same person 😄

[@JohnnyJamesGio]

@@andycrowley Apparently, I'm not the first to see the resemblance :D Cheers, mate, and good luck

[@brettnbeckvalleyvan]

Great video 👍🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Me realizing in 26 years I’ve never thought of learning about half these.

[@mandoline666]

Danke

[@Djshnx]

Could have easy have went into No Easy Way Out from Don't You Forget About Me 😜

[@bryanmorris6496]

Great video!!!🎉

[@btimec5290]

Have you done "Troy"?

[@aaronp0324]

Was thinking Faith by George Michael should be on the list.😊

[@DavidPiper-l7w]

Great 😊👍

[@TheBladepolisher]

Better capo up homie. Wondering why you don'y use bronze strings or phosphor bronze ? ? These strings have your guitar sounding a little too tinny or shallow imho. That's just me though, of course. You play beautifully and I feel the strings you're using don't bring the true sond of your guitar "wood" out.

[@dohertyivd3]

Any chance guitar lesson on John parr St Elmo’s Fire

[@pastureexpectationsfarm6412]

Vanilla Ice!

[@Reon-lr8el]

Hi, what strings and mic do use. Are you tuned down?. The sound comes across as trebly and when you hit hard the strings slap the fretboard. Cheers

[@Twylightt]

You strings are 10 or 11?

[@XMguy]

I won’t lie. I’m confused why an Em and E Major in the same song. Is it a key change? Same happens in House of the Rising Sun.

[@Metal05]

It’s chesney hawks!

[@DanHoppe007]

Any INXS songs coming up?

[@andycrowley]

There wasn't, but there should be! Which should I do?

[@tishsheridan2516]

"Need You Tonight" please!

[@SirSneakerPimp]

@@andycrowley Everything from Shabooh Shoobah

[@Matt-B11374]

Simple Minds= Charlie the god Burchill.

[@eliastheod]

Definitely!!

"If it comes from you then it always works" - Mr Miyagi!

​@@ricomajesticI'm stupid what does that mean?

[@ricomajestic]

@@therandomname69420I was paraphrasing Mr. Miyagi from the movie Karate Kid!

@@byromtaylor6482 I saved that one for this 80s 4 chords video kzbin.info/www/bejne/al7NmJiunL9gaJosi=ZioCRzeMV7sxDKyh

[@jaquelinecerull6252]

Your Ads Obscure die stopp Funktion. Would like to note the chords...

Just like Heaven from the cure

[@andycrowley]

Wicked song, done a tutorial for that here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGewhaKMjK6ed7M

[@EveyoneCallsMeTheDude]

@@andycrowley that’s where I learned to play it last year, and thanks for that

[@MrBushwacked69]

You definitely pulled out all the stops on this one Andy 👌👍

[@andycrowley]

Cheers dude! All thanks to the folks who helped me out this list together on the livestream. Next one is tomorrow, 6 pm UK time, where we're putting a list together for the 70s! 🙌

[@jaquelinecerull6252]

Sorry, now it works...

[@tiverazaon]

a bit too fast for me....

[@radiozelaza]

No Every Breath You Take??

[@Theo_drawi]

First

[@ianbrown1474]

This video SOOOO needs time-stamps and sections …

[@jstodalk]

too much talking, not enough playing

[@paulroberts6820]

A full deep dive on White Wedding would be awesome. Maybe a layered acoustic campfire starter and a double click for full electric. Great 80s collection!!

[@CampfireGuitarHero]

A truly EPIC list of tunes. Well played Andy. Spoiler alert… 0:55 Don’t You Forget About Me 2:20 Dead or Alive 3:48 Everybody Wants to Rule the World 5:07 Take on Me 7:10 White Wedding 8:58 Down Under 10:05 Don’t You Want Me 11:15 Africa 12:39 Hungry Like The Wolf 13:55 Under Pressure

[@stanleykostrzewski7222]

Andy Crowley , you rule the world ! Some terrific 80's tunes on display here. Tears for Fears being my favourite. Cheers 🍻 👏

[@Marcel1978dt]

Please show us how to play "Suburbia" by the Pet Shop Boys as well...thanks! By the way love the 80´s music so much!

[@SurfClimbRob]

Andyyyyy! I've been browsing YT for years and your channel is the absolute best for finding new songs to play. Thank you so much!! Keep up the great work. One suggestion for an easy 80s acoustic song is Sweet Child Woaaahh oh oh OH Sweet Child of Mine?

[@AlexPatterson-co4gh]

I read a prophecy that the Chosen One of solo acoustic gigs will cover LL Cool J - I Need Love. I have yet to find this prophecy fulfilled.

[@barrywatson2261]

My favorite one was Queen and David Bowie can you do the full song on it please

[@dragonmaster613]

One tiny critique: your version of Dead or Alive (Bon Jovi) is a little too fast to match.

[@pauljenkins6982]

Brand new cadillac by Vincent Taylor copyed by the clash please Andy

[@philipknock9134]

80s. Not 80’s

[@DanielECulbertson]

Great list! I'd add "Only You" by Yazoo! 😊

[@houjay6288]

Damn this is good

[@AntonioEncarguez-wi5zr]

very nice andyboy

[@DJKLIBRA]

Africa by who?😂 By tooootooooo 😆 Love the accent Love the video! Big thumbs up. Always come to your channel for inspiration as a beginner and boy have I found some. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!❤

[@mcburnski]

Lots of content on the website/app but one problem I've found is that the full screen mode goes too big and doesnt show the whole of the screen. I was using chrome on an android tablet. I downloaded the app and it's the same. The links to watch on youtube work fine, so it's easy to watch full screen that way. It's also quite slow and unresponsive. Fix those small problems and you'll be on a winner. Cheers Andy. Keep the lessons flowing

[@Crookowski]

Slave to love - Bryan Ferry Everytime you go away - Paul Young Two classics

[@EduardoCastro-xf1gh]

take on me and under pressure, simply fantastic dude! Thanks for your videos bro
