3 easy acoustic Songs to learn for any beginner (In my opinion)

Learning the guitar is a great decision that i have never regretted, but looking back on when i used to play and could only form around 3 chords, it was far less interesting than 4 years later when i would call myself reasonably skilled. Due to this, i feel like it might be helpful to any aspiring musician to know some songs that are not only easy, but also sound great as a beginner to play on any calibre of acoustic guitar. All of which are in standard tuning.

1. "Every rose has its thorn" Poison

This classic 80's love rock ballad is recognisable to any musician and ,though some may laugh at its cheesy nature, it is undoubtedly a song that any young non-musician will enjoy hearing. For the majority of the song, it consists of three chords: G, C, D, and due to the formulation of these chords, it is not necessary to move around the neck or indeed move the palm of your hand and thumb and so is a perfect song for a newbie who wants to play something recognisable and classic.

2. "Knocking on Heavens Door" Bob Dylan

This song has only 4 chords for the entirety of the simple version of the song which are G,D, Am and then G,D,C. These are some of the first chords any guitarist whether they are taught by a teacher or self taught such as myself and so it is handy to help them learn quicker chord changes and is another classic. The song has been covered by many including Clapton and Guns n' Roses. It is also a very easy song to sing along to due to the rhythm of the song.

3. "Come as you are" Nirvana 

This is a classic and well known song by people of all ages and tastes and will never fail to impress others. It is slightly different to the other two options as it is not chord based but instead single-note based around the first two frets and mainly over just two strings; E and A. This one is slightly harder to sing along with due to the odd picking pattern but others will be able to sing along and it will make people in their 30's nostalgic of their teen days.

These songs are all easy to find online and they will take minutes to learn. They can also be added to as you become more advanced with solos and reggae versions. Carry on practicing and you'll never regret it. Good luck and thank you for visiting as always.
