First song I learned was Take it Easy. Very simple, three chords, all strumming, no picking, as I recall.

Anything by CCR

"Who'll Stop the Rain?" was one of the first songs I learned. along with Dylan's "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" and John Denver's "Leavin' On A Jet Plane." Simple three-chord songs that build your confidence and interest by allowing you to quickly manage one of the first hurdles of the guitar: smooth chord changes.

First thing I learned was a half-assed version of the intro to Metallica's Wherever I May Roam, all on the high E,

--0-0-1-0----3-3-5-1-0----0-0-1-0-

then let that low E ring out, at age 14 I thought it sounded so badass

depending on your level, and if you like lucero, this site has a ton of tabs and videos and their singer isnt particularly good at guitar but the songs still sound good!

Anything with just major/minor chords. As long as you know those you can play a ton and learn from there. Go here type in a song or band name and have fun. I say start with a really hard song, if you can play the harder stuff, then everything will be easy.










Joking of course.

Same four chords over and over. This is a good one actually.
