Easiest song on the guitar (For a beginner)

[Axlfreek]

Amazing grace...3/3 rhythm, and just A, D,and G chords..that is if your learning rhythm?

what instrument do you play ?

[chineseroses]

try the one note song by tenacious D

[CheapJon]

try the one note song by tenacious D

yeah, don't ferget to bend it every now and then

[JohnMorrison73]

the solo on bucketheads "the ballad of buckethead"

[01matthewst]

The chorus to my michelle is easy, the main riff in coma is a nice too

[The Estranged MrFlashbax]

the intro to Blind Melon's No Rain and the intro to Civil War were pretty easy for me to pick up by ear.. so try those.. oh and Dream of Mirrors by Iron Maiden

[stolat]

Took me years to train my ear. Might try it. If I can sing it.........

[The Estranged MrFlashbax]

its fun to learn songs by ear.. cuz after i play the intro to civil war, i can play the "look at your young men fighting.. look at your women crying.. look at your young men dying.. the way they've always done before..." and keep going with the song.. i can play the vocals (the ups and downs and melody i guess, i dunno what its called) on the guitar cuz i learned it by ear rather than by tabs.. its not that impressive to play for people but its fun to play nonetheless.

[stolat]

That sounds really good. So you play the vocal line note for note ("look at your young men....etc") and then rip into the chords for ("my hands are tied...)?

[The Estranged MrFlashbax]

i can play the vocal parts until "...and history hides the lies of our civil war" 

[stolat]

i can play the vocal parts until "...and history hides the lies of our civil war"?

If your guitar is electric you could do that with a wa wa pedal.

OR, Peter Frampton could distort notes via a tube thing that he could blow into - it was attached to his guitar. Listen to Frampton Comes Alive or Live (something like that). There is also a (Steiner?) guitar, very 80s in its look that had a distortion bar on it. But in the meantime, listen to Frampton......

[gcluskey]

Sweet Child O' Mine...if you want to play just an acoustic version without the intro try this...for the first part there's just 3 chords D, C9 & G...get that first and then the chords change for the 'where do we go' bit at the end...they're like Em (where do we go) G (where do we go now) A (where to we go) followed by a C & D then back to Em...etc. It goes something like this

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.

[CheapJon]

hog bitch stomp

[spank]

GNR-Used to love her
Bob Dylan- Knocking on heaven?s door
Nirvana-Come as you are
John Lennon-Imagine

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

[Vadin]

I'd say "Come as you are" by nirvana.. That's the first song I ever learned

I actually learned how to play the SCOM-intro right after that..
