Easy songs to leearn on the guitar

[Will Wood]

Can anyone suggest some good practice songs on the guitar to play? I just need something to practice playing on. Can't think of any good songs that are at a noob level.

Thanks!

Yankee doodle

[AGDlover]

fade to black-metallica and one-metallica was the first song i've ever learned

[Enraged Monk]

Blue Oyster Cult - Dont Fear The Reaper
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Staind - Bring The Noise

Those are easy, either powercords, single notes, or barred stuff.

[Target Practice]

When I was learning bass, I used a lot of stuff by Blink-182 and Social D.

[Muzikman]

Smoke on the Water

[magsRus]

Target Practice is right. Blink182 has a lot of really easy 3-chord riffs to play. My first two songs were All the Small Things, and Ironman by Black Sabbath

[Flamebo]

Smoke on the Water

Opening riff, perhaps. Learning the solo is where you'll get the real practice in.

[Muzikman]

Smoke on the water is the one song that EVERY guitar player should know how to play. If you do not know it, you are not a guitarist

[behemoth]

Smoke on the Water

Amen, thats what all my friends learned to play first..

Try ramones though... 3 chords per song, repeat

Sid Viscious of the Sex Pistols once said "Heres one chord, heres another, and one more. Good, now you can start a band."

ALSO

Look up Guitar Pro 4 -- GREAT PROGRAM FOR LEARNING

You can tune your guitar to it, it shows you the notes, tabs, fingerings, all that jazz.

Download songs at www.mysongbook.com, and then learn em in GP4


Goodluck!

Hey Joe by hendrix (to practice those open chords)
Enter Sandman by metallica (to practice the powerchord changes)

anything by greenday/blink182 for power chords and timing

then it's time to start on learning how to do the solo stuff

[purple]

nothing else matters - metallica (kinda tough, but you'll learn tons of technique from it)

stinkfist - tool (drop d tuning, but really easy)

the hannuka song - adam sandler

malaguena - spanish classical

anything from dream theater just kidding


Purple

[WicKeD_WaYz]

my first song was sweet home alabama.

somewhat hard to learn though unless you have someone show you and break it down real simple.
