Re: easiest song to play

Play an E chord (strum ddduudd),  move the same E fingering to 8th fret & repeat the pattern move it to 4th, then 6th doing the same.... Wa La you're playing "Photograph" by Nickleback. I usually start people off on this one as it gives them something easy to play that most people will recognize. If it would help I'll throw a vid together real quick and send it to ya...

BTW  Welcome to Chordie and congrats on taking up the guitar smile

Re: easiest song to play

Please keep in mind that this is a very basic version and once you get used to it you can slightly embellish the last chords strumming before going back to the first fret with it....

I went ahead and made this really quick to give you an idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYpO5ZINRww It's real rough/quick but should help some...
