Topic: Some easy/medium skilled songs to play

I just got my first acoustic guitar. I played electric for around 1 year before i got an acoustic so I have a little bit of experience.
What I am looking for is some songs to play, that are in the skill range of easy to medium, or even medium hard. I don't really mind what bands or types of music it is, I am playing to get better and so I have a few more songs to mess around with. But just in case you have many in mind and only want to pick a few, here's a small list of a few bands I like:

- Violent femmes
- Sublime
- System of a down
- Foo fighters
- Neil Young
- Red hot chili peppers

Those are a few favorites, but that doesn't mean that you have to pick a song by one of them. I am looking for any song, that will help me get better, and have some fun while im at it.

Thanks all

Hi Mark,

If look in the Public Songbooks under Absolute Beginners you can scan through them and look for songs that you know and like and they should not be too taxing to play.

You can play "Shake it up baby" and "La Bamba" as a medely - onr verse of each back and forth in A,D, and E chord.
Lots-o-fun.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".

markdrago,
Try 'Maggie's Farm' by Bob Dylan, Very easy song! Chords are G, Em, D in that order.
