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)
seems like (just) my imaginationChouchou-P
How about playing a bittersweet Vocaloid song on acoustic guitar? Chouchou-P’s “Kokoronashi” is beginner-friendly, so definitely give it a try.
The song uses many tension chords, which create a sense of melancholy and poignancy—you’ll find the chord tones very pleasing.
Once you can perform it as a sing-and-play piece, both guitar and vocals will become even more enjoyable!
Lonely EnvyDenpol-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.
From your townHaruna.
A love song that balances weight and lightness! “From Your Town” was released in August 2024.
Lyrics overflowing with feelings for “you” and the protagonist’s inner world—so devoted it almost goes beyond single-mindedness—are expressed alongside an exhilarating band sound.
You can really feel how they “can’t think about anything but the other person.” If you’re not yet comfortable with open chords, one approach is to start by learning with power chords.
This method uses only two fingers, keeps the same fingering, and simply changes fret positions.
Just-woken-up palm treeYukopi
How about trying a smile-inducing Vocaloid song on acoustic guitar? Yukopi’s “Neoki Yashi no Ki” is a Kaa Yuki track released in 2023.
I’m sure many of you have experienced waking up with wild bedhead.
This catchy pop song humorously captures that all-too-relatable moment.
Don’t overthink it—just play with groove and have fun! Even if you can’t do it at first, you’ll naturally improve as you keep playing.
Most of the chords are on the easier side!
Donut holeBee
It looks really cool if you can play Hachi’s “Donut Hole” on acoustic guitar.
The key to playing this song well is the strumming.
Since the strumming is fast, try to play while consciously keeping the rhythm.
If it’s difficult, practice by using a metronome, lowering the tempo, and gradually increasing the speed.
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!
Hated by life.Iori Kanzaki
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!
