Hey everyone, I just started playing 3 days ago and I dont know where to start. I didnt wanna
do nothing so I started learning smoke on the water. I was just wondering what I should begin with and what are some easy songs. Oh and i'm having trouble putting my fingers on multiple frets at once any advice? Thanks.

Hi SwissCheese (mmm, just typing that is making me hungry)

If you've just started, check out this thread - that'll help you to find your way around the site and forum.

House Of The Rising Sun is apparently one of the easier lessons to start off with.

Welcome! Glad you joined us.

Welcome,
Once you learn a few chords a couple of easy strumming songs are:
Every Rose Has a Thorn
Knocking on heavens door
There is even a strummed version of House of the rising sun.
Here is a link to that one with video lesson

Scroll down to Littlebrother's post.(check out the flatpicking video in his second post)
