Title: Learning guitar
Post by: Jubal on July 23, 2011, 07:04:53 PM

I'm learning guitar, badly! I'll post some ideas and thoughts on how I'm doing thus far in this thread.

Firstly, it annoys me that everyone learns bloody Wonderwall or something equally cliched as their first song. There are other easy songs out there, which I will list as I find some:
Navigator - by the Pogues
This is very simple, the easiest I've found thus far. There's only five pretty easy chords, and you can usually cheat on the Gs by using the bottom four strings only. Changes don't need to be too fast either.

I've started recently, too.

The first song I've learned was "Chasing cars" by Snow Patrol. It's a piece of cake.

Had one, learned an inkling of classic rock, then sold it.

SW, shall we make a separate thread of easy to learn songs? You can deal with the modern stuff, I'll put in the wierd folky stuff I like.  :P

No problem, if you wish so. But I don't have much songs  and I wanted to share this one because it's really simple. And the girls like it.  ;)
