Re: Hey :)

Hey Tana ... welcome to Chordie ... in regards to what songs to play and practice ... it might be easier to know how advanced are you?  Do you know some simple open chords, power chords, etc? 

For open Chords I looked to country songs when I first started out, like George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Joe Diffie, John Anderson, etc ...

Some other good ones are songs from Bob Segar, Tom Petty, John Mellancamp

If you want something heavier try The Ramones, ZZ Top, Scorpions, Offspring, Green Day, Judas Priest, Danzig, Black Sabbath

Those are good power chord songs if you have experience with them ... especially Green Day, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath

Re: Hey :)

i know most open chords, and since my teacher is so readily available, any questions i have are instantly answered..
he's encouraging me to find my own songs, but tbh, i'm stuggling... lol..

i like all kinds of music..might give the country music a listen to, its how he started too now that i think of it..
thanks guys, much appreciated smile

HAHAHA

You have to forget about what other people say; when you're supposed to die, when you're supposed to be lovin'. You have to forget about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

Re: Hey :)

Most Hendrix is not very hard. I learned Watchtower when I was about two months in.
