um i learned adams song by blink 182 haha

if you don't mind playing stuff like that then i would say anything from them or greenday is pretty easy, and i will second the smells like teen spirit a easy but good song haha, um if you want to get a little more difficult and have something everyone knows i would say crazy train w/o the solo or maybe some parts to stairway to heaven, then there is also alot of black sabbath that isn't that tough also such as paranoid and ironman

you just have to look around and play what feels good until you start advancing

last dance with mary jane by tom petty and the heartbreakers is fairly easy, definitely good for a beginner to add one more song to his repertoire

[crazy_guitar_man]

yep definitely tom petty...and i mean if your like me and have a attraction to the song puff the magic dragon then that one is really easy also

inna gotta da vida (sp?)

and paint it black



paint it black always sounds cool+

[crazy_guitar_man]

the ramones would be a very easy band to play

A good choice for open chords! Even a little easier than the House of the Rising Sun.

Stand By Me is great. G Em C and D. Also I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (U2) is good. Uses chords A, D and E. You will need a capo on the 4th fret to play along with the recording.

I never attempted to play stand by me. I actually forgot about that song... but now that you mention it, it sounds like one to learn.
