Easiest song on the guitar (For a beginner)

[2112]

If this is a thread dedicated to easy songs. For beginners.
Why than people speak about crap like Civil War, Coma and Bucketheadstuff?

If you are a beginner struggling with barr?chords etc etc, you dont sit down and play Civil War, or something similar thats riffbased.


If you are a beginner I would suggest you to play easy chordbased songs like, I used to love her, patience, sweet child o mine, knocking on heavens door etc etc in order to train fingermovement during chordprogressions.

Than you start playing stuff like smells like teen spirit in order to learn the art of quintchords.


+ its Em, G, A, C, D, G during the "where do we go " part.

I learnt how to do barrechords in 14 weeks! Easy when the theory is explained. You just think 4 frets up.

Its alot of muscle memory too.
But you knew how to play other chords before learning to play an Fm etc etc.

What I meant was that this thread had gotten braggieful.

Braggieful! I'll give you braggieful!!!! Good thing I've been playing the piano since 8 and dabbled in the violin as well!!  Just letting people know that barrechords can be done in that time. A lecturer at uni can teaches basic guitar for 1 semester and then in second semester uses that theory to teach barre chords. By the end of that semester they make alot of sense. Not a bad course!

By the way, an easy song for a beginner using barre chords is Saltwater by Julian Lennon.

Stand by me is quite easy, the first song i ever learned.

If you know your open chords/ barre chords take your pick...theres thousands.. my first songs were smoke on the water, iron man, back in black, turn the page, old man... they are all real simple songs to learn.

I was bored one day and there is this guy in Canada posting "Learn a song a day" stuff on youtube so if you search "LASAD guitar" you'll find a bunch of his lessons. Steppenwolf's born to be wild is up there. Not for absolute beginners, but when you get your slides and finger stretches down its really easy and fun.
