"Three 80s Songs Every Gigging Musician Should Know! -You Must Learn To Play These on Guitar”

Due to overwhelming requests and thousands of views on Part 1, it's time for Part 2 of my Best 80s Acoustic Songs to Play at Your Gigs series! ???? In this video, I'm breaking down three more essential 80s songs that acoustic solo musicians can crush at gigs or just jam out with friends. These songs are crowd-pleasers, instantly recognizable, and perfect for unplugged performances!

???? Songs Covered in This Video:
✅ Losing My Religion – R.E.M. (Yes, it’s technically '91, but it screams 80s DNA!)
✅ Wanted Dead or Alive – Bon Jovi (That iconic intro gets heads turning!)
✅ I Won’t Back Down - Tom Petty(Because every gigging musician needs another 80s classic in their set!)

I’ll walk you through essential playing techniques, alternate ways to play key parts, and tips to make these songs your own – whether you're performing solo or just jamming. Plus, there might be a little 80s nostalgia and humor sprinkled in. ????
