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.

hmm Smoke In The Water , Sweet Child O'Mine and Stairway to Heaven are really common first songs for beginners

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

Check out www.freelicks.net, there's a bunch of good things there.


Edit: Link fixed! Sorry about that guys!

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?

House of the rising sun

Welcome to the Jungle and Nothing else Matters are both pretty easy.

+1 for the Animals

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

theres no way a beginner of 2 months could play the FULL sweet child o'mine song, that solo isn't easy lol..stairway to heaven would probably put up a really big challenge for him as well.


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

Green Day, Good Riddance. Kansas, Dust in the wind. (Travis picking, a simple pattern repeated throughout with simple open chords) it looks and sound very impressive to everyone. and many many more.

www.freelicks.net is excellent.

www.freelicks.com seems to direct you to a entirely different type of lick...

Posted by: xucphra Dec 24 2007, 12:08 AM

I realized that last night

Posted by: Tomy Jeon Dec 24 2007, 12:50 AM

Anything by Green Day isn't that tough.

Posted by: Rated Htr Dec 24 2007, 01:03 AM

Agree

Anyways, Nothing Else Matters by Metallica is the base for most people...

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Dec 24 2007, 07:39 AM

Yeah Freelicks.com is not guitar related :/

lol Ive made that mistake one to many times

I would suggest anything by green day or blink-182, they are pretty good for getting familier with power chords.
