hey what's your fav. song to play (Page 1 of 2)

Desperado by the Eagles....there are some barre chords in there, but it's VERY slow (half note strumming sounds great), it's a beautiful song, and it gives you practice on a dencent amount of chords

A few of my other easy favorites include:
House of the Rising Sun by The Animals
A couple other songs by the Eagles (Take it Easy and Tequila Sunrise)
Lodi by CCR
My Sweet Lord by George Harrison
Let It Be by The Beatles
Losing My Religion by REM
Hurt by Johnny Cash
Every Rose Has Its Thorn by Poison
American Pie by Don McLean

If you have a capo...
Atlantic City by Bruce Springsteen
The Scientist by Coldplay

If you like fingerpicking
The Wind by Cat Stevens

If you would like links to any of those as well, let me know, but I thought it'd look a little crazy if I put them all on there

Oh, and since your name is Jessica, perhaps you would like Jessica by the Allman Brothers (although you will probably just be able to play bits and pieces of it if you're a beiginner)

At the Moment,  Allison Moorer, " Soft Place to Fall".   "California Blue" Roy Orbison.    " Goin Gone" Nancy Griffitts.

Considering I can only play a few songs, it's not a hard one to figure.  I started playing guitar so that I could sing "I'm Going to Love You Forever" by Randy Travis to my wife on our 20th anniversary.  Well, that and I felt like it.  But she's heard me practice it so many times now that I don't think it'll be all that special.  It's still a lot of fun to play. 

Some others I enjoy:

Louisiana Saturday Night - Mel McDaniel
My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys - Willie Nelson
Down at the Twist and Shout - Mary Chapin Carpenter
Tin Cup Chalice - Jimmy Buffett
Another Saturday Night - Sam Cooke

I do NONE of these like the covers.  Not because I have anything against covers, but covers are done by professional musicians and I'm not of that calibre.  So I play them the way they're fun for me.  Some may say "cop-out" and others will say "arrangement."  I say "fun." 

I just downloaded "Good Hearted Woman" by Willie and Waylon.

As you can tell, I'm a big fan of heavy metal music...  (so long as the metal is in a Ford truck)

- Zurf

I'm also a beginner
my favourite songs that helped me to learn:

"good riddance" by Green Day
"try" by Nelly Furtado
"skin" by Alexz Johnson

Teenagers by My Chemical Romance. (if you dont like the nu-metal MCR think again, this song is TOTALLY 70's punk). There are no decent tabs online for it though, Ill post the tabs for it eventually.

the one and only
                             PATIENCE by Guns N Roses

All I can do is write about it- by Lynyrd SKynyrd
The rhythms pretty simple but it still helps build up your strumming and chord switching skills
