[Genesis]

Welcome to the jungle, outta get me, it's so easy, so many...

[*Izzy*]

"Umm bop" by Hanson?

Welcome to the Jungle
Double Talkin' Jive
Patience
My Michelle (This is a bit harder than the rest)
Used to Love Her

  Izzy?

[Rhythm-n-Booze]

learn some zeppelin
Whole Lotta Love
Heartbreaker
Communication Breakdown (extremely easy)
The Ocean

[Wheres Izzy]

When I first started playing I learned "53rd and 3rd" "I just wanna have something to do" "The KKK took my baby away" and "blitzkreig bop" by the ramones in the first week. If you're a fan of them they're fucking fun to learn and extremely easy.

[gtaxe25]

Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Zephyr Song (hardest...sort of))
Metallica - Enter Sandman (easy)
CKY - 96 quite bitter beings
Tantric - Breakdown
Zakk Wylde - Stillborn
14 years
hair of the dog (easiest)
Zakk Wylde - Sold my sold

first song i learned to play on guitar and is one of the funnest and coolest is "seek and destroy" by metallica

it will also impress the shit out of your friends as all kinds of cool shit is in those riffs.

[Walk]

Don't be lazy. You'll never get really good if you don't push yourself. That said, Motorhead songs usually aren't so bad.

[Sakib]

smoke on the water- deep purple
back in the saddle-aerosmith

[N.I.B]

walk this way
crazy train
enter sandman
breaking the law
smoke on the water
seek and destroy

[Pike Pounder]

I think a good one that everyone can respect that is quite easy (except the solo...) is Don't Cry. Truley a powerful song to let roll off your finger-tips.

[sg4eva]

AC/DC is fairly simple, just about anything by Nirvana, most punk songs (Ramones, Sex Pistols, etc)

[VolcomStone]

"patience" is pretty easy all the way through... if you can play lead at all, the solo isn't bad.
"knockin' on heaven's door"
"whole lotta love"
"basket case"
"come as you are"
"smells like teen spirit"
etc...
it seems like when you're first starting out it's always a good idea to learn easy chord progressions that are instantly recognizable.  that way if you don't suck at rhythm and especially if you have a voice, you can still impress some people.  don't get frustrated, but i suggest you try learning leads to songs early.  you'll thank yourself later.

[slash4ever]

Paradise city.
Your crazy
Champange Supernova (Oasis)
Wonderwall &  Don't Look back in Anger (Oasis)
Stairway to Heaven
  and other stuff like Nirvana and Green Day and Red Hot Chilli Peppers

[*Izzy*]

Paradise City and Your Crazy, I wouldn't call them easy songs. Your Crazy has the fastest tempo out of all Gn'R songs, I think.

  Izzy?

[ClintroN]
