What are some really simple guitar songs?
I’m just now learning guitar, and I want some tutorials on really simple guitar songs, I know chords D, G, and A really well, and then E, C, and G7. I know the notes on 1st and 2nd strings, but I can learn more- So if there are any simple to learn guitar songs (that in fact sound excellent), let me know!!
(P.s- I’m 14)
Now it would obviously be pretty tough to give the strumming patterns for each song here, so I have just given the chords and you will easily work out the strumming by playing along or if you already know the song!
Simple Guitar Song 1: House of The Rising Sun, as made well-known by The Animals. This is a fantastic song, very simple, and a fantastic way to get people singing along. It’s in the simple key of A minor too, so if you feel like it you can throw in some simple Am pentatonic licks and sound really cool! The chords are: Am, C, D, F, Am, E, Am. It’s literally that simple, and to make it really cool you can throw in some simple flamenco style quick strumming!
Simple Guitar Song 2: Sympathy For The Devil, as made well-known by The Rolling Stones. This is another fantastic song-all the more cool if you can get someone to do the “oo-oo!” part in the social class. Really simple chords, and it sounds fantastic acoustic or electric if you feel like some high gain! The chords are: E, D, A, E all the way owing to except the chorus which just goes B to E again and again. If you listen to the original you’ll see what I mean.
Simple Guitar Song 3: Freebird, as made well-known by Lynyrd Skynrd. An all time fantastic song, and it’s pretty simple to play if you miss out the solo at the end-don’t worry no one will expect you to play it anyway! The song’s in the key of G foremost, but in right southern rock style if you want to play a solo you can switch between G foremost and G minor pentatonics you can sound truly cool! The chords for this simple guitar song are as follows: Note-These are the chords for the main verses G, D/F#, Em, F, C, D The chorus just cycles owing to F, C, and D over and over, and at the end before the solo when it gets quick it’s just G5, A#5, and C5 over and over.
Simple Guitar Song 4: Knockin On Heaven’s Door, as made well-known by Bob Dylan, and then Guns N Roses. This is another all time classic song. Fantastic fun to play, and yet really simple. This is another one in G foremost, although Guns N Roses tune down half a step so their version is in F#. The chords are: G, D, Am7, just cycled over and over again. Simple huh?
Simple Guitar Song 5: For What It’s Worth, as made well-known by Hoodwink Springfield. This is by far the simplest of the bunch, and a truly fantastic song. It proves you don’t need monster technique or hard chords to make fantastic composition. Brilliant lyrics too. In the key of E foremost. The chords are: E, A, E, A…… and that’s it-simple but brilliant, as all the best ones are!
I hope you loved these simple guitar songs-building up a selection of tunes like this is a fantastic way to get your skills and your confidence up! Delight in!
