Easy Songs.

GoldFever · #1 February 8th, 2006

Hello. I was wondering (And I Know This Sounds Silly) if anyone knows any very very very easy songs I could play. I have been trying for awhile without seeing any real improvement besides I know the G, Em, A, C, And D Chords. I want to play a song. Any song as long as it sounds like a song. My wife keeps telling me to give up and I really dont want to. Can someone help me out with a easy song. For my peice of mind. When I say easy. Think about the first day you ever picked up your guitar. Thats what I mean by easy. Thanks a million.

Have you checked out Kirks begginer lessons?- http://www.guitarforbeginners.com/fo...splay.php?f=14

Try the one for Knockin' On Heavens Door, its a strumming lesson.

Anyway, I hope this helps...

whatever you pick you gotta practice for a while. I MEAN A LONG WHILE lol just joking with you!
if you really concentrate i am posotive you can get a song to play for your wife every hour of the day 7 days a week 65.... you get the idea.

You can play 'Stand by Me' with those chords, GF.

Two bars of G, two of Em, one of C, one of D, two of G .... repeated over and over. Sing that to your wife, with feeling

, and she'll never tell you to give up again.

Here's a quick mp3 I just did for you: you can hear the strum pattern ... I choke the ringing off with the palm of my strumming hand.

Kirk's stuff is always great, Also you might want to try this site http://www.guitarnoise.com/easy.php its got lots of pretty simple arangments, try "Horse with no name" only 2 fingers and 2 chords, doesnt get much easier than that, good luck, it all comes in time.
