Guitar chord forum - chordie → Acoustic → Yesterday I got my first guitar... Easy songs please
I'm learning chords and tabs pretty quickly but it'll help to get the chord progression and finger moving to get some exercise and used to the guitar. If you guys can't decide on a song, I love playin' anything from alternative & rock to grunge & blues. Thanx
Hi there 
I baught my 1st guitar yesterday too
I did do some searching on sweet home alabama on you tube. Theres one there where a guy helps you out in detail I love that tune so much its easy and you will get your fingers moving real fast.
I am at the moment still learning chords and getting use to the pins and needles on the tips of my fingers lol.
I havent really looked about this list but I am sure there are tons of easy tunes to play or easy ways to play any song for us novices lol
Best of luck with your new guitar
thanx 1 song down, a billion more to go
Hello to both of you and welcome to Chordie,
Sooner than suggesting individual songs to you why not got the Public Songbooks and click on the Absolute Beginners. There you find a host of songs that are relatively easy to play and you can then search for ones that you know and like.

Before everyone else posts it www.justinguitar.com 
Thanx for the help guys this is seriously working out. Now if there is anyone else who can suggest songs for me please reply.
Rogers got you headed in the right direction.You should check out some songs youhave heard ,then try them out. You might also try out some easy play tunes by creedence clearwater,neil diamond,bob dylan, and buddy holly. dino
Thanx dude for the tip-off. please continue to reply
How about 'Lady In Black' by Uriah Heep, real easy Am And G. Same two chords back and forth.
just listen to the song to get the rhythm. Also 'Maggies Farm' by Bob Dylan, G, Em, and D, in that
order.

Hi,
I am also new to this forum and I will recieve my new acc guitar later this week
Have not played since...........very long ago
keep´em easy songs comin´
Good to see so many folks getting started. Have a blast everyone! While you're picking those beginner songs, pick some "stretch" songs too. Don't start working on them yet, but know that you WANT to do those songs. As you learn, pull them out from time to time, see what you have to learn to be able to play them. Work on those skills. Someday, maybe next week or maybe three years from now, but someday, you'll be playing that "stretch" song and you'll think back to when you didn't know squat.
Congratulations on starting what I hope will be a fun and rewarding trip for all of you.

Thanx 4 the tip. now, that i got a basic idea, can some people post some easy songs and keep on postin'
Hi, friends!I have been playing guiter for 9 years and writing songs. Its a nice hobby for me. I learned the little I know all by myself. Now me and my friends have decided to make a band.But we dont have the sound grip over music which is needed.We do our music in a rather erratic way than doing it methodically.It sounds good though!!Suggestions and practical help are soughted from experts.
here's an example of an easy tune:

Thanx. keep postin'
boyinthebubl - Erratic can be good. Listen to live albums of the Allman Brothers or the Grateful Dead or Little Feat. They didn't get to sound like that from book learning. Sometimes I wonder if the Allman Brothers were all playing the same song.

Knocking on heavens door - GnR's
bad moon rising - CCR
Mr Tambourine Man - Dylan
With or Without You - U2
wonderful tonight - Eric Clapton
Every rose has its thorn - poison
boulevard of broken dreams - Greenday
Chasing Cars - Snow patrol

Good riddance - Greenday
How to save a life - the Fray
Too much love will kill you - queen

Look at the top of this page and find "Public Books" tab. Click it and you will find a column of choices on the left side. One of the choices is "Absolute Beginner". Search through these books until you find a song that you like and is familiar to you (know the melody) and that is easy to play. There are thousands of them. Print them out and make your own song book.
Chordie, I think is the best resource on the internet for beginners. Explore it and learn.
Justinguitar is a good suggestion above. He's got the knack. Also try Knockin on Heaven's Door G, D, Am, G, D, C... Wonderwall's a good hit, but might be a challenge on the rhythm. I just started this one and it goes over with the crowd... Wagon Wheel by OCMS. It's just (Capo on 2nd fret) G, D, Em, C, G, D C thruout. Emphasis on strum pattern. There's two levels of guitar playin'. Entertaining to yourself, and entertaining to others. In less than 4 months I expect you'll get to level 1 (LOL).
Sometimes I wonder if the Allman Brothers were all playing the same song.

Keep on playin', you'll get where they're coming from eventually.
