I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

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.

It’s really fun to play HoneyWorks’ sweet and bittersweet youth songs on acoustic guitar! HoneyWorks’ “Ima Suki ni Naru” is easy to play even for acoustic guitar beginners, so please give it a try.

The key to playing this song well is moving between barre chord positions.

In particular, the shift from B to C#m takes some getting used to.

In the first half, the piano arpeggios are beautiful, and in the final section it turns into a grand rock ballad.

So if you’re doing an acoustic guitar vocal performance, switch between arpeggios and strumming when possible to get closer to the song’s vibe.

This will give the entire piece more dynamics.

Most of the chords used are basic and not too difficult, but there are many chord changes, so be sure to memorize each shape thoroughly.

The chorus modulates, and several chords appear that differ from those used in the A and B sections, so take care.

In conclusion

Playing and singing your favorite songs yourself feels so good, doesn’t it? Some people may find the simultaneous task of “playing while singing” difficult, but the way you press and move your fingers follows patterns.

If you practice, when you try other songs you’ll think, “Oh, that’s the chord I used in that other song!” and you’ll be able to do more and more sing-and-play performances!
