"Smoke On the Water."

Answer 2

Do you mean rhythm or lead guitar?

What style of song do you like?

If anything you like has any relation to Rock & Roll, "Johnny B. Goode" is a good place to start. It is the 1, 4, 5 three chord proggression that makes up the foundation for rock, blues, country, bluegrass, rockabilly, rhythm & blues, and their related forms. Therefore it is good for a beginning shythm guitarist.

It is also good sto sturdy for lead guitar. If you can imitate Chuck Berry's licks you will be off to a good start as a guitarist for rock, blues, country, etc.

PS: If you want to blow people's minds, show them how both"the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" and "You Shook Me All Night Long" have the same chord progression, then change the words a bit: "She was a short machine/She kept her pipe week clean/she was the best darn hobbit that I ever seen..."

Answer 3

Try writing your own tabs
Seriously it's pretty fun to write your own stuff

But a really good riff is Kashmir by Led Zeppelin

Answer 4

I can't remember who, but might be Hal Lenard or Mel Bay, or Alfred, but there is a book that is called a Three cord book, (great for people like me) who can't read music, but it has a variety of songs like Christmas, cowboy, Blue moon rising by John Fogerty, (love that guy!) or if you remember Credence Clear Water.

Answer 5

"Smoke on the Water". Every American family has to suffer through one of their kids playing that riff over and over and over.
