What are some good songs to learn guitar? There are quite a few that I can point out. It appears very obvious that it is needed for you to start learning guitar with popular songs but sometimes we like a song so much that we need to learn to play it right away, it is not the common scenario, but it happens.
Also, if you are real about this, it is a good idea to get the guitar video lessons to improve your skills faster.
Well, the smart thing you can do is to begin with good songs, popular songs. If you think about it, a reason why those songs are popular most of the time is due to the fact they are simple. If you begin with easy songs, you will not feel frustrated and you will be more comfortable with your Guitar.
A song that I like very much and was one of the first songs I tried is KNOCKIN’ ON HEAVEN’S DOOR, by Bob Dylan. This song is very easy, you only need to know four chords: G, D, C and A minor or Am (most commonly known). What can be difficult here is to go from one chord to the next, meaning that at first, you will not be changing from G to D for example very fast, but with a little practice you will be playing this song very likely in less than seven days.
KNOCKIN’ ON HEAVEN’S DOOR is a great song to practice the rhythm, the movement of your right hand (if you’re not left handed of course).
Another song that is very easy to learn and fun to play is Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver, It actually plays the same chords than the first song we were talking about, it only changes one chord. Instead of Am you will need to play Em. The difficulty level is really the same; the one significant difference is that this song is a little bit faster than Bob Dylan’s song.
Also, if you are like me and like punk rock songs, The Ramones have a lot of songs that are pretty easy to play, like Blitzkrieg Bop, one of my favorites. The truth is for this kind of songs, you don’t even have to learn all the chords, you just have to learn the Power Chord.
What is the Power Chord? Well, it is a chord that you can play in every fret getting a different chord. For example, to get the G note, you place your index finger on the sixth string on the third fret, your ring finger on the fifth string on the fifth fret and your pinky finger in the fourth string on the fifth fret, below your ring finger.
Once you master the Power Chord, you can play a lot of punk rock songs from bands such as Green Day, The Ramones, Blink 182, The Offspring… You get the Idea.
To practice the Chords, Here is a good list of songs that you can play:
1. Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver
2. Free Falling by Tom Petty
3. Yellow by Coldplay
4. Come On Get Higher by Matt Nathanson
5. Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynard
6. Clocks by Coldplay
7. Teardrops On My Guitar by Taylor Swift
8. Lost by Coldplay.
9. Realize by Colbie Caillat
10. You’re Beautiful by James Blunt
Remember, the key to play guitar is patience, so practice, practice and then practice some more. Learn one song first, and then move on to the next one. My best wishes and I’ll see you on stage.
