Learn Some Easy Guitar Songs

Perhaps you have started learning the guitar and can strum the main chords. In recent history some of the greatest songwriters have created their entire careers by transitioning between the same three chords, G C and D.

If you can play these, you can play top ten hits from distinguished musicians such as Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan. Ever hear of “Love Me Do?”  Yes, even the Beatles had their three-chord progressions. Simply learn the 7th chords of A E and B and you too are ready to play it.

There no better way for an up-and-coming musician to increase belief in oneself than actually playing a song on the guitar. The song “A Horse With No Name” is an time-honored favorite for new guitarists because it is said to be the absolute easiest song to play.

It is nothing more that a mere two chord arrangement of E minor and a slightly different variation of D. There are four beats per measure, and a chord change after each measure, (4/4).

You will hold down two strings within the 2nd fret, the E minor is your fingers on the 4th and 5th strings, the D will have your fingers on the 6th and 3rd strings.

Simply strum the strings for each beat, and every 4th beat change chord. That is all there is to the song that was a huge hit for the band ‘America’.

This is not the only song which is easy to learn. “Lay Lady Lay,” written and performed by Bob Dylan, is easy to learn quickly.

The song, “Comfortably Numb,” by Pink Floyd is another one that’s among the most simple to learn with it’s 5 chords.

‘Seven Nation Army’ is another great song to learn easily, by the White Stripes. Simply knowing how to play the main chords (CAGED) means you are ready to learn some simple songs.

A great song to learn relatively easily is ‘Hey There Delilah’, the huge hit by Plain White T’s.
