Horse With No Name
Knockin' on Heaven's Door
Rockin' in the Free World

First lead guitar pieces I learned were the solo from Yellow Ledbetter, and most of SCOM.

The first song I learnt was the sex pistols - pretty vacant!  I was probably playing it wrong though (that is if you can play the sex pistols wrong)

use drop d tuning, cos then you only need one finger to play loads of songs! (Slither for example)

Make sure you know power chords before any 'proper' chords, new chords can take a while to get used to so its nice to have something to play in the meantime.
How do you tune to Drop D? I've seen plenty of songs tuned in it but down know how to do it myself.

Tune you low E (top string) down to a D.  So then you have DADGBE.

Slither, Serial Killer, What I want (Chris Dautry with Slash).

But Remember, GNR plays a half step down.  So everything is flat from standard tuning.

Csharp = Dflat....

the way i drop d tune is pluck the top E string and the D string at the same time and then detune the top e until they resonate the same....its real easy to hear ok

Neemo, that is easy, if you have developed an ear, if not there yet, just use a tuner.  Wow, what a run on sentence.  I think a tuner is good so that they can see what is going on.

I practiced with Patience when I started to learn chords.. of course it was hard first, but I just needed a little patience ok I think it's a great song for learning.

Zombie by the Cranberries has to be the easiest song ever. You can play it using only one finger. Not a good song for learning though hihi
