I've had an acoustic one now for about a year. Haven't had a lesson but I can pretty well nail

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
Eagles - Hotel california
The Jam - Thats entertainment

and a few Oasis ones.

I'm learning James Blunt - your beautiful at the moment.

I do struggle on some of the notes coz of the size of my fingers and hand flexibility, but I just don't play the songs that have them in

It is a cool way to relax.
