I want to perform Vocaloid songs with an acoustic guitar! A collection of recommended tracks for beginners
These days, there are many people who started playing instruments because of Vocaloid songs.
Just by watching cover bands and acoustic cover arrangements on video sites, you can tell how many people are into it.
So in this article, I’ve compiled a list of Vocaloid songs you can play on acoustic guitar!
I think it’ll be especially helpful for beginners when choosing songs.
By the way, a simple trick to make singing and playing easier is to use an accessory called a capo.
With a capo, you can sometimes avoid having to finger difficult chords.

I want to do acoustic guitar covers of Vocaloid songs! A roundup of beginner-friendly tracks (21–30)
Hated by life.Kanzaki Iori
Kanzaki Iori’s “Hated by Life Itself” sounds cool and melancholic when played on acoustic guitar.
In the original key, you’ll encounter the F chord.
If you find F difficult, try putting a capo on the 5th fret.
That way, you won’t run into any barre chords, making it easier to tackle!
Lonely EnvyDenporu P
It’s a song characterized by the rhythm section and the tense guitar lines riding on top, but if you match your strumming to the original, you can get a similar feel even with just an acoustic guitar—so try playing with that in mind.
There aren’t any particularly difficult chords overall, but chords like D/F#, which requires gripping the neck and fretting the 6th string with your thumb, and B7, which you need to fret with all four fingers standing, appear here and there.
If you’re not used to changing chords, practice slowly until you can fret them cleanly.
Since the tempo isn’t that fast, it’s a recommended number for beginners as well.
Double LariatAgo aniki
Once you can play the popular Vocaloid song “Double Lariat,” acoustic guitar becomes even more fun.
The chord changes in the chorus are quick, so if it feels difficult, slow down the tempo and practice calmly.
Playing the intro with arpeggios brings out the song’s vibe, so it’s highly recommended!
Meltryo
This song has an irresistible sense of the chorus bursting through.
Since there aren’t many chord changes, you can play it comfortably even if you only know a few chords.
I think it’s a song that lets you focus on singing without getting caught up in the playing, so I recommend it for people who haven’t learned many chords yet and for those who want to sing their hearts out.
PuzzleKuwagata P
Two people whose emotional bond has been severed—their relationship is heart-wrenching.
This song, released in 2009 by KuwagataP, a Vocaloid producer known for band-oriented sound, is an emotional Vocaloid track resonating with impassioned guitar tones.
The sound image feels as if the overflowing feelings embedded in the lyrics have been turned directly into sound, piercing the heart.
Using a capo simplifies the chords, but deliberately playing with barre chords is also an option.
That’s because the chord shapes that work as barre chords actually have fewer patterns than standard chord fingerings.
For example, look up the barre chord shapes for C and D and compare them—you’ll see the only difference is the fret position.
Leicayamada
Since the original song is a fast-paced rock number that puts the electric guitar front and center, when playing it on acoustic guitar, aim to capture the vibe by being mindful of dynamics and contrast.
To achieve that contrast, instead of keeping the strumming entirely uniform, try mixing in arpeggios or adding staccato—experimenting with your technique can help.
On the chord side, the recurring Cdim throughout the song is a hurdle; if you’re not used to quick chord changes, it can be hard to fret cleanly right away, so practice will be necessary.
Calc.Jimii Samu P
Many people probably want to play melancholy Vocaloid songs on acoustic guitar.
Try tackling JimmyThumb-P’s hugely popular song “Calc.” on acoustic.
The chorus uses an especially easy chord progression, so even just playing that part should be fun! It’s also a great pick for a solo singing-and-guitar live set.
