What is an acoustic cover?

An acoustic cover is a rendition of a song that is traditionally performed with electric instruments, such as guitars and drums, but is instead played with acoustic instruments, such as acoustic guitars, ukuleles, and banjos. Acoustic covers often feature stripped-down arrangements that focus on the melody and lyrics of the song, rather than the full instrumentation and production of the original recording. These covers can be performed by a single musician or a group, and are popular in a variety of genres, including pop, rock, folk, and country music. Acoustic covers can be a way for artists to showcase their unique interpretations of popular songs, or to create a more intimate and personal atmosphere during live performances.
