I agree with most of these (and wish I could play them...)

TOP 20 ACOUSTIC GUITAR INTROS OF ALL TIME

Thanks for the video OP.

He's a great guitarist, IMHO. He did a great job (although Wish You Were Here seemed a bit off to my tin ear).
Curious that he didn't attempt Nancy Wilson. She's a wizard!

He should have squeezed in Jumpin' Jack Flash. I believe Richards mixed 2 different acoustic guitars with different tunings.

Off to create a new Youtube library on my phone of "Acoustic Intros". ETA: Well, except for Hotel California (Thanks Don Henley).

And it's funny. Most of the songs were from 60s and 70s. Silly boomers.

Sweet Home Alabama would have been on my list by Skynyrd
I guess not really a solo intro though

Just thinking out loud about how many songs have such an iconic intro that people recognize right away.  A buddy had a bar band that had an awesome mix of old and newer tunes, and as soon as an intro played, they were getting girls on the dance floor.

Played by Ed King on a '73 Strat, which sounds like the pickup selector switch was in the 4th position.

I'm a little surprised "dust in the wind" didn't make the top 20

Not technically the best, but the hair goes up on my arms when I hear the intro to Deep Purple's Anya... The rest of the song... meh.

Deep Purple - Anya (The Battle Rages On 03)
