'south of heaven', or perhaps 'seasons in the abyss' sound pretty nice unplugged.

...yes! Usually the highlight of the evening!

my personal faves:
On the Road Again (Willie)
Various Allman Brothers
Various Flight of the Conchords

and Carl, if you can pull off a decent rendition of the Insane Clown Posse armed with nothing more than a 6 string, I give you props indeed.

"Should've Been A Cowboy" : Toby Keith
"Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" : Nelson

You will be an instant superstar if you throw all of these out into the campfire air.

Friend of the Devil by the Greatful Dead, any Bob Dylan song, and/or In an Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel (or anything by them for that matter).

Who needs a 6-string? I perfected my beatboxing skills over the long nights guarding the meth lab with my pit bull

If you learn an original rap cover you will be an instant sensation. I would request Loked Out Hood - Dj Quik

No one likes the guy who brings his guitar to the campfire. Just drink beer and spray about how you almost sent a V10 that day except you really should have had a rest day - like the rest of us.
