The Best Guitar Songs For Beginners And Their Attributes

By George Balibrera


The best guitar songs for beginners have certain attributes that make it easy for them to play. Pieces like Hurt by Johnny Cash, Last Kiss by Pear Jam, and Let It Be by The Beatles contain these attributes and this is why they are popular pieces to learn. This article will look at these qualities and these tunes in some detail.

A song that is easy to remember is one that is most likely easy to play. This is because one can practice from memory as they already know it. In order for it to be simple however, it cannot have too many chords. A large number of chords will cause someone who is just starting to learn to either miss certain chords or forget the piece altogether. This is also true for more difficult chords like barre chords.

These types of chords are quite difficult for most beginners and the songs played should also have a low number of them. These are the kind of chords that have to be played with in a particular fret. The fretting hand is the one that forms the chords and the index finger holds all six strings in a fret. So if a beginner can find a song with few barre chords, the better.

One of the things that also make a song easy to play is the popularity. Popular songs that are current for the time are great for beginners because they a well-known. But, a popular song does not have to be written recently. There are many well-known pieces that have been written years ago that are still popular today. It all depends on who performed them and how simple they are to remember.

There are certain songs that some people take and make their own, even though they are not the ones who originally wrote them. One such song is Hurt which was originally written and performed by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. A different version was done by Johnny Cash and has been simplified a bit, making it a bit easier for beginners to play.

Last Kiss as performed by Pearl Jam is another song that is very easy for beginners seeing that it only has four chords that one has to learn. These chords are simple and easy to remember. This song did not do very well on the music charts when it first come out several years ago. But, it is still a favorite by many especially when it comes to playing the guitar.

Another song that is good for those who are starting out is Let It Be by The Beatles. Even though it came out in 1970, it is still quite popular today. There are also a few chords to remember with this song, so one can easily master the song in a short space of time.

There are no hard and fast rules for choosing the best guitar songs for beginners. You can decide on your favorite song even though it might be complicated, but it might take a good while before you master it. So it is best to choose simple songs that you are motivated to play. Once you are mastered a few techniques, then you can move on to other songs that are more challenging.
