Easiest song?

_Spinning_ 01-16-2007 04:11 PM

True.

I like your signature, and your name.

"Wild thing" (troggs or hendrix) is easy.

For riffs:
"Sunshine of your love" (cream) is easy

Mr.Jack 01-19-2007 04:07 PM

thanks

Kurt Cobain 01-19-2007 08:23 PM

Cherub Rock:laughing :laughing: jk

littleknowitall 01-20-2007 05:49 PM

Learn some **** easy pub rock, ac/dc, deep purple, darkness, its all power chords and open chords, there's nothing easier when trying to get used to working your way around the fretboard.

ddp 01-21-2007 08:05 AM

Black Sabbath and zeppelin is also great for beginners.

Iron Man
Paranoid

Just learn the main riffs.

Zeppelin

Whole lotta love
communication breakdown

littleknowitall 01-21-2007 12:00 PM

yeah but it does **** all for your playing and it's irritating to hear for anyone who has to sit in a common room listening to 80 medeocre guitarists playing it over and over, please never learn to play it....PLEASE!

skindredluver 01-21-2007 12:01 PM

gottaSCREM 01-21-2007 05:10 PM

Crown Of Thorns - Mother Love Bone

ddp 01-21-2007 06:15 PM

Easy =

"My Generation" (the who)

"You really got me" (Kinks)

"Anarchy in the Uk" (Sex pistols)

In fact anything by the sex pistols is easy.

skindredluver 01-21-2007 06:53 PM

dance dance is kinda easy.

Raine 01-21-2007 08:46 PM

I'm not sure what would be the easiet song to play but I know the most commonly played song by beginners is smells like teen spirit by nirvana

HeadingForABreakdown 01-22-2007 10:00 PM

I know I've said this on another thread, but My Iron Lung by Radiohead.

Blain 01-23-2007 12:48 AM

Time of Your Life is a great song to learn. It's got picking, chords and it's not to sing along to while playing so it's got the whole shibang.

littleknowitall 01-23-2007 05:20 AM

therapy? isnt too hard, or stone temple pilots, grunge rock n roll in general tends to be easy to play.

A_Perfect_Sonnet 01-25-2007 10:45 AM

Misfits and Ramones songs are easy.

If you prefer chords, go for Bright Eyes, and most of the singer/songwriter types.

Moon Pix 01-26-2007 01:13 PM

"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan. Its only four chords.

Loser 01-26-2007 02:02 PM

Heart Shaped Box

Trauma 01-26-2007 02:03 PM

Agreed, although when I first started guitar it took me a while to get the distortion right on the solo.

Loser 01-26-2007 02:05 PM

I play guitar as well it is difficult, it took me a week to figure that out now I play it perfectly.

littleknowitall 01-27-2007 05:41 PM

It took you a week to learn to play guitar perfectly? ...i really am tryig to make sense of that sentence...

Loser 01-27-2007 07:20 PM

No just Heart Shaped Box took me a week to play perfectly I played that song non stopped. It took me a year to play half way decent I'm still not very good.

MayorMcCheese 02-03-2007 05:20 PM

Black sabbath - its only 3 notes

musicm 08-02-2011 04:15 PM

Tenacious D - One Note song ;)
Step 1. Learn fretting a note and string bending
Step 2. Play the song.

Musician! 08-16-2011 11:17 PM

Smoke on the water definently because it can be played at ant difficulty like with single pecks with a pick or with power chords or even normal chords lol
