Default Guitar

Yo, My buddy got a Guitar for Xmas, and I've been messing around with it learning a few ez songs and stuff. So the other day I went ahead and got my own.



Any of you guys play guitar, and know some good beginner songs I can start working on?

time of your life (good ridenece) by green day is a perfect beginner song. it uses all your basic and common chords and easy flow. also try some punk. Pennywise bro hym tribute, pretty easy, good for learning rythm and strumming

Flight of the bumblebee is a good place to start.

How much you pay for yours? I keep thinking about buying an acoustic, but I never do. I sold all my old gear to turbo my car.

I've got an two acoustics and one electric. Just find songs you like and search for the tabs, you can fin the mfor almost any song. green day songs are easy, blink 182. you can also find simple chord progressions for a lot of old classic rock songs like zepplin. but you won't stick to it playing ---- you don't like so just start looking for songs you know and find ones that look easy. And guitar kicks *** and gets *** so stick with it.

Brain Stew by Green Day is a good one to start out with. Remember, it takes time to learn, you're not going to turn into Hendrix overnight.

if u want to learn real music play some jimi. great stuff. in his songs you can go from easy cordal ---- to complex tweaked out solos. great learning music. any of the clasic rock songs really. at one time they were all about the same.and only dip into the punk/grunge for practice perposes like someone said abouit your strummin and rythem but fro the most part its not real music. and get a metronome
