Easy song suggestions

[Ben Thorpe]

Any suggestions for songs that are relatively easy to learn for beginners? I keep finding myself learning chunks of songs, but not other sections due to the techniques and skill those sections require (Enter Sandman being one example). Many thanks!

Dammit – Blink 182
Boulevard of Broken Dreams – Green day
Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd
Wonder Wall – Oasis
I’m yours – Jason Mraz
Breaking the Law – Judas Priest
Basically, almost all pop-punk or punk rock songs are easy enough and give you a good challenge in the beginning.

Cheers Marques! I’ll be sure to look up these tabs and give them a go!

White stripes-seven nation army
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Otherside
The Beatles-Help
The melody from the imperialisme march is also a fun one
You could also learn the Chords of songs like So Far Away and seize the day

A lot of RHCP songs are not that hard to learn

Yes that’s true but at the same time John Frusciante uses alot of embelishments which can be a bit tricky. I just remember That I learned Otherside when I just started and that went pretty well.

 

[Filip Tomiša]

Otherside was also one of the first songs that I learned.

Linkin Park songs are pretty easy as well. Also Metallica Fade to black and One. Nothing else matters is not too tricky ,might need a bit of patience. Wake me up when september ends by Green Day is an easy and interesting melody too.

 

[Filip Tomiša]

I think that most of Linkin Park songs are not in standard tuning

 

[Joe Giumarello]

A lot are in drop d or c#

AC/DC! Back when I was a beginner I lived on AC/DC. Angus’ solos are a bit tricky but most of them are pentatonic type shapes. Even if you were to skip over the solos, there’s still a ton of great technique to take away from Angus’ and Malcolm’s playing.

 

[Matt Wildman]

For A7x, Shepherd of fire is relatively easy to play…until you get to the solo! Its played in Drop d. ultimateguitar.com has a good tab for that song

 

[idssdi]

@matt Wildman that goes for a lot of songs off Hail To The King actually

 

[Ben Thorpe]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
