[b]Easiest songs to learn on the guitar[/b]

Unread post by StayorLeave87 » Sun Sep 28, 2003 9:31 pm

Im now learning how to play guitar. I have already taught myself some dave songs. I was wondering what are some of the best songs to play that are relatively easy to learn. Also some of the easiest DMB songs to play. Did eveyone who plays guitar learn by lessons or what? Cuase im trying to find the best way to learn how to play.

Wow, that really is super easy. I've been looking for something else to learn that would build my confidence. Thanks.

Blowing In the Wind - Dylan

Also, Watchtower is just 3 chords. Dave does tons of variation that makes it hard, but play it the way Dylan does, and you can get it in a few minutes.

any powerchord songs, which is basically the 90's.
