What could you consider an easy song that a beginner could play in its entirety?
I mean, just so when I wanna show off my playing to my coworkers; I have more than just a short sequence of notes here and there.

Fade to Black, Orion, The Trooper, The Number of the Beast, all pretty easy songs.

Those all seem like tough songs. I actually meant for someone who has only been playing for about 2 months. Or do you think I should be able to play those?

Wow, thanks alot you guys. Just last night I learned House of the Rising Sun, Trooper, and Fade to Black!
They were much easier than I expected! EDIT: Although I just found out that I'm not playing Trooper fast enough This post has been edited by xucphra: Dec 23 2007, 04:57 PM -------------------- |

EDIT:i didnt mean they were impossible, but i just meant that i highly doubt he could play those entire songs, if anybody misunderstood.and my suggestion would be Set it Off by Audioslave, it can be found on freelicks.net This post has been edited by stratman33: Dec 23 2007, 04:09 PM -------------------- |

www.freelicks.net is excellent.
www.freelicks.com seems to direct you to a entirely different type of lick... |

QUOTE (Ivan Milenkovic @ Oct 13 2009, 11:04 PM) There will always be people who are not informed or not understand music well, but it's about an attitude here. This was probably some immature person, so it may be wise not to pay attention to youths when they talk like that. They usually don't have the complete picture in their mind about life, let alone music. |
