I suggest you start on Oasis and then move onto Ocean Colour Scene once you’ve got more confidence.

Someone suggested Disarm by the Smashing Pumpkins. Awesome song and very easy. Easy strumming pattern, too; all downstrokes in eighth notes. Search for it on the Web. CyberDave

Another old fart here. I would also suggest Bob Seger tunes as well as The Everly Brothers. Alot of stuff from that era is not that hard to play but very catchy and will make listeners sing and dance. Also, although many are not fans of this genre, much of rock even today is inspired by country music so consider that wide variety of music as well.

Response:
Anything by Oasis; especially the early stuff. Live Forever was the first song I ever learnt. Billy Davies Daughter by the Stereophonics is especially easy. In fact, most stuff by the Stereophonics is quite easy to play, as the chords are straight-forward, with few, if any, complicated changes. Also, the solos are quite easy, so that gives you something to start with once you get onto playing solos. Design for Life, by the Manic Street Preachers is a good song to practice your pick technique, yet is also quite simple. Perfect Day by Lou Reed is a nice slow song that is easy, but sounds good. These are just some of the first songs I learnt to play. Obviously, my musical taste is very much biased towards British-based guitar driven rock. Everything I have learnt on the guitar has been self taught, and that style of music was my favourite at the time. What I found easiest was to think of my favourite songs, that I thought sounded fairly simple in terms of chord changes, and just look the tabs up. Once I had the tab, I learned the chord changes, then once I had mastered the chord changes, started learning the riffs. Like I said, it is best to start learning songs that you are very familiar with in the first place. It makes it easier to notice what sounds right and, more importantly, what sounds wrong. I sounded absolutely appaling to start with, as does everyone, but get the hang of the chords and everything will come together. Being able to play a song, start to finish, so that it is recognisable, boosted my confidence no end. I still have a recording of my first ever attempt to play Live Forever by Oasis, and it is truly awful. But stick at it; I did, and two years later, I am now working my way through the "Rage Against The Machine" Rage Against The Machine tab book. Quite a progression, for me anyway. It just shows how fast you can progress once you have got past the initial "I can’t play a f*****g thing, why am I trying to get music out of an egg-slicer anyway?" stage. Anyway, good luck.

CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival) – They may be old, but their songs are easy to learn and everyone will recognize what your playing!

The first 2 songs I ever learned all the way through were Pretty Woman and Twist and Shout. Pretty Woman’s main riff sounds awesome and is very easy to play and so are the backing chords…. Twist and Shout is the good too…. You can actually play most of it with 3 chords…. just do searches for these 2 songs on some tab sites… they’re older songs but you can still rock with them… (They also mix together into a cool medley if you do it right!)

I gotta agree with the first guy who suggested Oasis. I think Wonderwall was one of the first tunes I learned. Plus, once you learn it, you can take the capo off, and you pretty much have Disarm by the Smashing Pumpkins! cheers, Brendon Be distinct, or be extinct. http://members.aol.com/brainsawx

I’m going to sound like an old fart, but early Beatles stuff is mostly easy. Some really nice chord sequences in there too. Stones too – even easier, though a lot of their stuff depends on syncopation – feeling the rhythm rather than just strumming along – to sound good. Jon
