Guitar’s World

It’s the Summer. You might be going camping, having a Barbecue, or even going to a music festival. You’ve got your tent, your deckchairs, perhaps some alcohol- all you need now is that Acoustic Guitar.

Yes it’s annoying to carry and yes whenever you move you’ll hear is twanging away on your back- but when the mood is right and everyone wants to sing- you become the maestro and you get to control the music!

So without further ado I present to you the greatest campfire songs ever. Some of them you may or may not know depending on your age and musical tastes. Some of them may be too difficult for you to play- but it’s worth having some of these bad boys in your arsenal when you whip out the six-string and start a sing-along.

At the end of the day, it’s all about having fun and getting everyone singing along!
