In a very similar effort to my last post about acoustic songs, newbies also want some electric guitar appropriate songs to play during the infancy of their guitarist career. Without further ado, here are my top 3:
1. "Smells like teen spirit" Nirvana
This classic by Nirvana is so simple, all it requires for the simplest version is one shape to be moved around 4 frets. All it requires to get the original vibe is for some rhythmic chucking and some heavy distortion either by way of an effects pedal or simply by gain cranked up as high as it can go on any amplifier.
2. "Are you gonna go my way" Lenny Kravitz
This is not as simple as the Nirvana track but sounds far more complex than it is to a non-musician. It also allows room for addition as you become more advanced and can play fills and solos.
3. "Lounge act" Nirvana
Another Nirvana track, Cobain famously wrote his songs very simply and mainly using power chords in place of barre chords and technical solos. This is another great song that requires nothing fancy in order to sound great and largely consists of a simple octave progression down the neck.
Have fun with these and once again don't give up learning. Practice makes perfect. Good luck.
