Meaning of an Acoustic Song

An 'acoustic' version of a song is when a band/artist makes an acoustic recording of their song (Usually one of their hit songs). In most cases they use only acoustic guitars and nothing else. They may use bongos or other percussion instruments. They use as little vocal effects and usually make a more mellow, sound. It's similiar to playing live. It almost always has to demonstrate good vocal technique and have a slow tempo because without any additional sound, the vocals are very important.
