I've only been playing guitar for a couple of months so I'm not very good. I want to learn a complete song in the classic rock/metal genre and am having trouble trying to learn solos, as they're so fast and never seem to sound right.
I'm looking for something relatively easy to play, and I would really appreciate people's opinions on what's the easiest and best song for a beginner to start with. ![]() |

If the solos are fast dont try and play them at THAT speed.
Play them very slow and accurate and gradually speed up. I can't think of many rock/metal riffs that are easy its not my area of expertise. Crazy Train/Iron Man/Smoke On The Water/Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground? I suggest starting with the ramones,nirvana and such first, even if you don't like it it's simple and good to start with it and simple enough. EDIT: didnt see the poll i can play enter sandman its easy enough. |

Definately play it at a slower pace and work your way faster. That's how I learn solos and fast paced songs.
I also agree with Alixisonfire

![]() ![]() (Other) Songs that I think were/are simple include: 1."Iron Man"-Black Sabbath. 2."Crazy Train"-Ozzy Osbourne. 3."Back In Black"-AC/DC. 4."Sweet Home Alabama"-Lynyrd Skynyrd. 5."Come As You Are"-Nirvana. 6."Sunshine Of Your Love"-Cream. 7."Hells Bells"-AC/DC. 8."Smells Like Teen Spirit"-Nirvana. That's a good place to start off at."Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Enter Sandman" are pretty much the riffs that every experienced guitar player learns/plays early on.Have a great time jammin' and good luck!!! ![]() |
