except for b and f! I have a pretty good vocal range . so thats not gonna be a problem
Re: Good starter songs
Try the 2-3-4 chord songbook. Not many F's or B's there.
Good Luck!

<b></b><font color="darkblue"></font> Yes Bob dylan's ''Knocking on Heavens Door'' is simpel to play but not that fun for beginners I think.

Re: Good starter songs
If there is a song with F or B on lots of those on the Chordie site, you can hit the TRANSPOSE CHORD bar and alter the chords as it suits you.
If you have a problem 'barring' (as I do 'cos I had a hand injury) you can play F on 1st 5 strings only and - 'Lonnie Donnegan' style - use thumb on 6th, dead opposite ist finger that holds down 1st 2 strings. Working up the neck using SAME finger placings (and thumb)plays F# G Ab A Bb and your B etc
Re: Good starter songs
John Denver Country roads was my first one.
No Fs or Bs in that one.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: "Henry Lee"
It's only got four chords (am, dm, c, g) and is beautiful (and a bit macabre <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_razz.gif" border=0 alt="Razz">)
