Easy Guitar Songs To Help You Learn Acoustic Guitar
When you learn to play acoustic guitar it’s a good idea to learn the right techniques but also to make it a bit more fun and learn a good number of songs. There are a number of easy guitar songs that are now huge classics and every guitarist should be able to play them.
When I have a new student I normally start with “Stand By Me”. The song has been written with a popular turn around (I VI IV V) for both Verse & Chorus with the melody changing in each section. The reason why I choose this song at the beginning is that there are quite a number of songs that use the same chord structure so with one shot you are actually learning a few songs. Some of the most popular songs are: “Lonely”, “I Believe I Can Fly” and “Every Breath You Take”.
Another great song writer to look at when learning easy guitar songs is Bob Dylan. He wrote many big hits in his carrier and many of them have been covered by numerous artist all over the world and sold a silly number of records. Some of the titles you should learn are “Knocking On Heaven’s Doors” covered by the Guns & Roses, “Blowing in the Wind” and “All Along The Watch Tower” made even more popular by Jimi Hendrix. All these super mega hits have one thing in common: they have been panned using 3 simple chords.
If you are looking for simplicity than you should start looking at British boy bands and the 1st one is the Beetles. They have written huge classics some of which are not so easy to play. Some of the titles I suggest you learn are “Hey Jude”, “Let It Be”, “Here Come The Sun” and “Yesterday”. Their songs are not always that easy and they do use 7th and sus chords so you better know your chords before you start exploring their songs.
Other great british bands renown for making great music with few simple chord structures are U2 and Cold Play. I just decided to teach my students “Clocks” and I was amused how easy the song is. The same story applies here, 3 simple chords and a riff (using the same chords ) and off you go.
These are just a few title you can start with but look around and you’ll find plenty easy guitar songs you can learn on acoustic guitar. Hope this helps!
