What song should I learn to Play on guitar???

Question

Im a beginner guitar player and I have an acoustic-eletric guitar but i usually just play it acoustic. I need to pick 2 songs that i want to learn to play but I do not want to pick something that is too hard to play that ill give up and quit or something.

Answer 1

when I learned to play bass guitar, the two easiest songs I played were "Shock The Monkey" by Peter Gabriel, and "Smoke On The Water" by Deep Purple...those should be good starting songs for you. They're repetative and don't have too much variation. You can also go to a music store where they sell instruments, or even an F.Y.E. if there's one near you, and they'll have guitar and base tab books, including songs from a lot of really popular bands, so you should check that out and pick your own that you wanna try!

Answer 2

Most Johnny Cash and June Carter songs are really easy and fun to play on the guitar.

Answer 3

I usually finds it easier to play songs that I like, else I might not enjoy learning it even though its easy.

Anyway, try Sweet Misery by Michelle Branch

C-G-Am-G
F-C-G
C-G-F-C-G-Am-G

interlude: F-C-F-C

very simple chord patterns with the commom open chords, and there's also the F chord. It's hard but barred chords are very important and should always be practice along with open chords.

Answer 4

One song that i really like to play is Smells Like Teen Spirit-Nirvana.. lots of chords but very fun song. Also Them Bones-Alice In Chains. and Stairway to Heaven- Led Zepplin.

Answer 5

ok, for the electric learn bat country caus that uses electric and accoustic, and its not to hard yet its not just the same thing over and over. On the solo look up the part that Zacky Vengiance plays caus its really easy. The song is Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold

NOw for the second song, learn.....hmm.......thinking......lol still thinking............dont rush me............lol jk jk Ok for the second song learn the intro to MIA by Avenged Sevenfold, caus that uses accoustic at first then electric later on, and it sounds effin awesome

Answer 6

You should learn to play Drifting - by Andy McKee

Any beginner should be able to pick that up in one night.

Answer 7

"smoke on the water "( deep purple) and "stair way to heaven" (led zeppelin), both work on elec/aocust guitar and they are not to hard ..but not so easy , always do your finger exercises and keep those fingers supple because if you don't ..it doesn't matter what song you try to play ...it will be harder.... good luck and stick with it
