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)
Alien AlienNayutan Seijin
Let’s try playing “Alien Alien,” a signature song by the hugely popular Vocaloid producer Nayutan Seijin, on acoustic guitar.
This song uses only a few chord types, so beginners should find it easy to learn.
You’ll encounter the guitarist’s rite of passage, the F chord.
The key to playing F cleanly is to press the strings with the side of your index finger! Master the F chord with this song!
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.

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.
Chill, fluffy Sea-of-Trees girlishiburo
The song “Yurufuwa Jukai Girl” is recommended for acoustic guitar beginners.
Its simple chord progression makes it perfect as a first song.
The guitar strumming is also easy, so when you practice, use a metronome to feel the rhythm as you play.
B and F are barre chords, so if you’re not comfortable with barre (semitone) chords, use this song to master them.
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.
Hello/How are you?nanou
It’s really fun to do an acoustic guitar sing-and-play of the popular Vocaloid song “Hello/How Are You.” Since the original uses a lot of barre chords, I recommend putting a capo on the 4th fret for beginners—it turns them into easier shapes.
The song basically repeats the same chord progression, so once you can play the chorus, you should be able to handle the other parts too!
Karakuri Pierrot40mP
Many people probably want to play the popular Vocaloid song “Karakuri Pierrot” on acoustic guitar! Since playing it exactly like the original is quite difficult, arranging it makes it easier even for beginners to try.
Just being able to play the intro looks cool, so give it a shot.
The key points for playing it well are guitar muting and glissando, so be sure to master them.
