Here I am playing the intro to Passenger's Let Her Go.  It is played much faster on the recording.  Hopefully you will be able to follow along at this slower pace. I have a capo at fret seven.  The bass note for the F chord is held with my thumb (over the neck). This is a beautiful intro.  Enjoy!

This song is found on the sound track for the American Idiot Broadway Musical.  It's a simple pop song with a catch guitar solo.  The guitar solo is played on an electric guitar, but it just so happens it sounds great on an acoustic!  Here is my "acoustified" version of the solo. Notice the open E string ringing with the notes that are sliding on the second string.
