gothian	Date: February 17, 2005 @ 1:00 PM there are one million of easy tracks to learn, I coul put an endless list here, but I'll put a couple of the first ones I learned: 1) Knoking on heavens door "GN'R" (cover from Bob Dilan) 2) Every rose has its thorn "Poison"

zedsalt	Date: February 19, 2005 @ 10:56 AM I've heard a lot of good things about the book, "Cheap Trick for Guitar". I'm told it's really good for showing how songwriters/performers simplify their tunes and transcribe them into Standard for ease of performance. And Rick Nielsen and Company are always great fun. Peter Buck said once that REM always goes out and buys the songbook for their latest release before touring, avoiding the work of simplifying/transcribing. Cool idea, if you're that famous.
woodhead	Date: February 20, 2005 @ 11:55 AM Knockin on heavens door is true. so is simple man from Lynrd skynrd Simpleman progression is Amin - Cmaj - Gmaj. use open chord's for the verses and bar chords (power chords) for the chorus.
Kotie	Date: February 20, 2005 @ 2:13 PM I'm not sure what you're into, but here's some stuff: Enter Sandman - Metallica Paranoid - Black Sabbath Iron Man - Black Sabbath Highway To Hell - AC/DC Blister In The Sun - Violent Femmes Float On - Modest Mouse Blame It On The Tetons - Modest Mouse There're lots....lemme know if you want sommore.

Travelsonic	Date: March 7, 2005 @ 4:31 PM Ashamed of the Story I Told by Polaris is one of the first songs I learned, it is pretty easy.
Bhairava	Date: March 8, 2005 @ 6:35 PM Learn a song you can play confidently all the way through. So you can perform it to others. I didn't actually do that until about 1 year and a half into playing. I said I could just could I new I could if I tried but performing and playing require different skills. Its something almost all guitarists do that I've met. They say they can play something until they actually perform it then they realise they can't without it sounding forced. PLaying anysong all the way through takes control. Control comes with time. I learned the parts to Wild thing on my first day playing. Then the intro to Voodoo Chile later that week. Stairway to Heavens rhythme at 4 weeks.

Hlao-roo	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 12:37 PM I learned "Aerials" By System of a Down.... and almost any Chevelle song will be easy...
BOWILLIE	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 6:18 PM smoke on the water...cocaine...loui..loui..
zedsalt	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 11:41 AM Ah, yes, "Smoke on the Water", the Holy Trinity of Rock chord progression...and possibly some of the dumbest lyrics in Rock 'n' Roll...gotta love it.
zedsalt	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 11:42 AM Ooh! The Troggs "Wild Thing"! That's a cool, simple one.
BOWILLIE	Date: March 10, 2005 @ 9:44 PM yes i completely concure...

mdearing	Date: April 17, 2005 @ 6:38 PM Anything by Blink 182. You blink and you've learned it.
spinblush	Date: April 17, 2005 @ 7:10 PM Cranberries's "Zombie". 4 chords, same succession for entire song.
BOWILLIE	Date: April 18, 2005 @ 2:35 PM tomorrow never knows..beatles. 1 chord thru the whole song.
thereisnoWill	Date: April 18, 2005 @ 6:54 PM The Cars - Just what I needed. 3-fingered power chords and only 4 of them (I think it's only 4) so very little movement, but helps teach you a little fretboard and certainly rhythm use. Verse E (0799xx) B (799xxx) C-sharp (9 11 11 xxx) A (577xxx) (the last step b4 the chorus shifts to: EBAB instead of the above - It's during the "I don't mind you coming here...and wasting all my time" bit) Chorus E B A C-sharp B That's about it...I think it's a great, fun tune to bang out
OddOneOut	Date: April 20, 2005 @ 8:30 AM Godd Riddance by Green Day although you'll struggle to find the correct tabs for it.
