What kind of music do you like? Are you a singer wanting to acompany yourself with a guitar? Or are you playing guitar for another singer? Chordie has some really great resources and songbooks...
Bree-03...for the first you made an good choise to go to chordies forum.
And for the second : some easy songs to play are "house of the rising sun"(the animals), "sweet home alabama"(lynyrd skynyrd), "bolevard of broken dreams"(greean day), and other songs with like 3-8 chords. try these ones and then you can level to "anrchy in the U.K(sex pistols), "bulls on parade"(rage against the machine) and "sweet child O' mine"(guns n' roses)
I did these and can play solos for many different song and im makin' my own... and by the way i have played in 4 months now...
Good calls.
Try the public books from the top menu bar. They are full of inspiration. I have a wee browse through them quite often - chordie is such a huge index you can miss a lot. Having a look through other people's songbooks always brings a new treat or forgotten classic.
You'll love it here.
Yeah, for one thing, thank you, and yes, i am kind of into both, I do solos, and accompany other guitarists. I like Alot of music ranging from Jack Johnson, to lifehouse, greenday, los lobos, dashboard confessional, billy talent, Pretty much like everything lol. I also like to fingerpick too. Also, since I am multilingual, I love a lot of spanish music.
Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson was the first song I learned to play that wasn't just a strum (with the mini-riffs in the chorus, lol). It is fairly simple and a fun song to play. Rodeo Clowns is another that's just four chords and has a cool little intro too.
Dashboard plays a little bit tougher stuff, but Hands Down is a good easy song to learn, as is The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most and Vindicated.
Hero by Enrique Iglesias has a simple, but sweet fingerpicking pattern to it and that's always fun to sing with a passionful spanish accent. Haha.
Some of my firsts:
Bad Moon Rising - CCR
He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones
Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison
Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
Little Pink Houses - John Cougar (Mellancamp?)
Turn The Page - Bob Seger
a nice one to begin with is
Free Falling - Tom Petty
Ok i've been playing 1 month and ive been trying to master 4 songs which are pretty straight forward
Oasis, Songbird - Cracked it quickly as its only 2 chords and a fairly easy strumming pattern
Snow Patrol, Run - A good song for practising quick change to C which i've found difficult but im getting there
Foo Fighters Times like these accoustic - A great wee tune and a gain has a change to c granted from Am which makes it easy
The Pogues, Dirty Old town - Again a few common changes G - C which im finding in a lot of songs so its good practice.
bree.... i think you should play more fast blues with solos its pretty nice and u can take normal blues scales but on the like 12;th, 9;th and 14;th bands instead for the common.
