It'll be worth your time to learn Tenacious D - Fvck Her Gently.


For the ladies.

How are you learning to play? I took classes, it never stuck with me though. I need to practice more. What method are you going to be using to learn?

oasis - wonderwall

 

[clamum]

Nirvana - Polly

Seems to me that everyone who learns how to play guitar starts with "Smoke on the water"

 

[StageLeft]

Wish you were here by p. floyd.

also dust in the wind by kansas

Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here

Heh, maybe we had the same teacher!

Thanks to Old School, I can't hear that song without thinking of Will Farrel.

YOU'RE MY BOY BLUE!

Wish You Were Here is very easy; so easy I can almost play it! (I got the "strum G a few times down pat!)

Smoke on The Water has a very very easy main riff, but beyond that, I have no idea.

Enter Sandman is also very very easy, but sounds awesome when you get it, even on an acoustic.

I learned the song "Short Stories With Tragic Endings" by From Autumn to Ashes when I first got my guitar as well; the intro is a bit tough if your fingers are inflexible, but it's nothing terribly complex or that requires a lot of fret changing.

Just don't try to play Eric Clapton's "Hey Hey" That's pretty tough

 

[thirtythree]

radiohead - karma police

anything by DMB. Learn Stairway too!

third eye blind - jumper
coldplay - the scientist

 

[DaWhim]
