sportsbarLivin' on a prayer - acoustic
April 29th 2008 04:25
A Bon Jovi classic converted to acoustic guitar - without the skin-tight pants and bushy hair.
This song is played through an amp and a bit of reverb through a pedal - it would sound just as good as a pure acoustic version.
I'm not sure who is playing it to be honest - but they are playing a Tommy Emmanuel Special Edition...
