Answer 2

Depends a lot on what style of guitar you are learning or playing - classical/spanish, electric / finger-pick or plectrum, - this 'box' of ours comes in all shades. If you're new to performing, go for a Leadbelly (Huddie Leadbetter) number - the chord changes are on the beat so you don't have to concentrate too much as you are singing. I think nearly everyone is familiar with "House o of the Rising Sun" and there aren't many of us that do not play the Animals version - and you can either strum or finger-pick - or even a mixture if you feel like. If you're going for your absolute first time and are nervous of the chord changes, an alternative could be any of his 2 chord pieces ( John Hardie and such ) where as a middle instrumental piece you can do some nice bass runs which do sound complicated to the none players in the audience. Have a look at his stuff - you'll be surprised how much is still being performed. Whichever way you go - Good Luck - we've all had to go through that first one - and it does get better with time.

Answer 4

how about Sunrise Sunset from the musical Fiddler on the Roof? Do you know it? You can probably find it pretty easily for piano.
