me and some friends are starting a band and we need some songs that we can cover that arent too amazingly hard

Question

we have 2 guitarists, a drummer, and bass. we're not that great yet, and mostly a cover band, so we needed some songs that arent too hard to get us started. we do all types of music, so far, we're doing 'i looked away' by eric clapton, and a few songs from Green Day, but thats it...ideas?

Answer 1

AC/DC - Back In Black, Highway To Hell
Blur - Song 2
CCR - Bad Moon Rising
Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl
The Kinks - You really Got Me
Nirvana - Love Buzz

Answer 2

I joined a band about a year ago and we went through the same thing. Try these:

1) Old Man - Neil Young ( a lot of Neil Young is pretty easy - Cortez The Killer is great too)
2) Hey Joe - Jimi Hendrix
3) Learning to Fly - Tom Petty
4) All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan version)
5) Knockin' on Heaven's Door (Bob Dylan version)
6) Wild World - Cat Stevens

Answer 3

When picking songs remember Try to get Dance tunes.
Tom Petty "Running Down A dream" is easy enough and always gets them dancing
and Grand Funk's Some Kind Of wonderful

Answer 4

Every band needs to know how to play 'Louie, Louie' by the Kingsmen.

Answer 5

Answer 6
