Now I should qualify that I can suggest songs for acoustic guitar campfire sing-alongs, not amplified wailing! Chords just good enough to 'suggest' the song and have folks singin' along. Polythene Pam is another good beginners song, though. If you are looking for straight guitar songs, i think a lot of beatles songs fail in this respect, honestly. I have found that not all Beatles songs are very fun guitar songs, because they rely so heavily on studio effects and the combination of a great many very simple (and often non-guitar) parts to create a complicated whole out of very simplistic pieces. and then this cool little decending riff leading out of the chorus back to the verse which should have you stumbling for a while as a beginner to learn it. Changing the G in the G chord to F#, and then you get to hammer on 7th (d on c string) during the E chord at 'Won't you PLEASE'. Same thing as in Every Little Thing with the Bm having you lift the pointer finger off the B to A on the A string. Good little fingering changes in the chorus.

Help - really nothing but chords, and strummed at a moderate pace.

Again, help you learn fingering to pick out the intro riff, learn a few simple parts that involve sliding your finger position (chorus), and the Bm to E to A part going in to the chorus involves a little walk down on the Bm if you want to add it, with the option for some cool alternate picking at the high and low side of the strings. Drifting by PJ is pretty simple too.Įight Days A Week is a good beginners song.Įvery Little Thing She Does - probably not for drop-dead beginners, but it would be one to grow on. Great beginner songs start with music from the Beatles (I'm personally not a fan, but they're almost all simple chords). Also not boring as shit (like not for you). Really not *nearly* as hard as you think to play the main lick, and a song *every* guitarist should learn ASAP.Īgain, not nearly as hard as you would think, but challenging enough to give a beginner something to practice for a while, I would think. a little blues line, most tabs leave it out for some reason. Don't forget to start hammering that F# off and on at the D string when you are hitting the A in the chorus. The chorus is a good little chord progression (G-D-A) to learn. It will help you learn how to finger efficiently, that little solo is a good way to learn fingering and bends, and the intro riff is probably something you can start off playing. If all you ever try is songs that are easy to play, you'll never learn nothin new. Not really a 'beginners' song, but its one to 'grow into'. it's easy as pie, and shows you how to 'mix' between chords and scales while only requiring you to know and fret 2 very easy chords (G and A). Good little 'solo' to get you appregiating notes (on 2 strings only), and nothing but power chords otherwise. You Get An Immediate Way To VIEW The Rythm And See All The Parts Interact.ĭoesn't really get any easier than this as a simple Echord fingering based 'riff' for almost the whole song. Learning Tab From GP is WAY More Intuitive Than Reading Stupid Tab Files.
