Kinda Off Topic.
Looking for good, quiet music.
Classic guitar songs, no strong electric or anything with a hard beat.
Lyrics is optional.
Muse's Unintended is a good example.. And most of The XX songs.
Thanks

Cowboy Junkies - The Caution Horses.
Some of the more mellow stuff I like...
The Antlers- "Burst Apart" is a great album. Listen to all the way through, in order.
Blind Pilot- Get their album "3 Rounds and a Sound"
Iron & Wine- Music to fall asleep to
The Tallest Man on Earth- In my opinion, some of the most beautiful music ever. Get all 3 albums.

Try Vitamin String Quartet, Ronn MacFarlane, and Celtic Thunder
Does it have to be guitar?
Windham Hill's Winter Solstice 1 and Winter Solstice 2 are excellent. (later albums aren't as good)
I know you said no electronic, but check out Tim Hecker anyway. You probably won't be disappointed.
