Top 10 Guitar Campfire Songs
My friends and I like to sit around the fire and play some guitar when we are camping or cottaging. So I thought I would put together a list of my top 10 guitar songs when sitting around a campfire.This list is made of songs that I can play and sing. I would love to have listed some Neil Young, but I just haven’t been able to play any of his stuff yet. The keys to a good campfire song are that they are engaging. You want your friends to enjoy what they are hearing and participate when they can. That means you should look for songs that everyone knows or has heard of.
Simple songs such as the Gambler or Cats in the Cradle will get everyone singing along because they know the lyrics and the tune. BTW I took the these picture after a long night in the park involving quite a few Mooseheads. Word of advice, keep your friends away from the lighter fluid!

In Italy we use to sing Redemption Song on campfire too! It should be on #1, just because it’s so world wide known.
You know, I think I’ll make a similar chart on my blog…
See ya!
P.S. Thanks for adding me among your friends on blogcatalog.

I think you have made a mistake, Cats in the Cradle it’s from Harry Chapin, although it was made popular (at least for my generation) by Ugly Kid Joe. However, if you want a Cat Stevens song for campfire you should try Moonshadow, a wonderful song.
Thanks for the list from Spain.

“Cat’s In the Cradle” isn’t Cat Stevens- it’s Harry Chapin.
