Easy Guitar Songs And Tips For Beginners
As a beginner, you don't want to waste time learning a lot of music theory. Playing his Gibson Les Paul Heritage 80 through old-school equipment like a Vox AC30 valve amp and Boss Turbo distortion pedal, Butler also added bespoke DIY physical effects, bending the guitar neck to produce that signature pitch-warping glam-rock swagger.
This song is perfect for a beginner and is the easiest for the kids since it can be played with just two chords, E and A. The kids can learn the bass line for the song by playing the quarter notes along with the fretted version of the harmonics played during the intro.
Unlike any other list posts I have done before, this list of songs is a mixture of beginner fingerpicking AND strumming songs and unlike most other guitar song list posts you will see, I have linked to the video tutorial of me playing and teaching the actual song in full (aren't you lucky, haha).
Furthermore, it includes links to easy guitar chords, tabs, and strum patterns, although, as previously mentioned, there are several advanced guitar songs that have also been included in our ultimate list of easy songs to learn to play on guitar for beginners.
Even though George Harrison had been recording with his 12-string Rickenbacker for a while, with this song, Jim (later Roger) McGuinn showed the world exactly how cool a 12-string guitar could be. Its jangly sound was the perfect partner to Bob Dylan's ethereal lyrics.
If you're more of an advanced beginner player, then you might want to try one of our songs with a few more chords, faster chord changes, and slightly more advanced rhythm patterns like either Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen, Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison or Lola by The Kinks.
Recorded in one take - the first - in a studio control room full of Warner Brothers A&R types, and the only track on Ritual where all band members were in the room at the same time, these factors seemingly conspired to up Navarro's game towards levels only previously hinted at. Limbering up (on his custom Ibanez) with a few open chords, Navarro ekes out a relatively simple top-end melody complementing the rolling rhythm section with admirable restraint (his powder obviously being kept dry), before dropping down through the scale with just a soupcon of flair and harmonics.
The simple picking pattern and chords make this a great 12-string song to learn for beginners and up. Then after every chorus is played, the song switches to the next verse. You can see Roy Orbison playing the boogie shuffle that Keith teaches in open position in this version.

It generally doesn't even matter if it's an easy song, or what the chord progressions are, beginner and intermediate players can entertain a crowd or have fun playing songs from Hey there Delilah to Mary had a little lamb. There are many popular and easy acoustic guitar songs which even a beginner, who has mastered at least three major chords, the art of strumming in time and the ability to shift between each chord, can play.
