The Best Guitar Songs For Beginners And Their Characteristics

By George Balibrera


If one is just learning to play the guitar, they will want to learn how to play their favorite song. There are some songs that are easy to play for a beginner, but there are others that will take some more time to master. By playing the songs that one can manage, one will improve overtime. Here is a look at what the best guitar songs for beginners should include.

The song is easy to remember. - This is one attribute that is essential to a beginner learning to play. Complicated pieces are not only harder to keep in mind but also take a long time to master. This means that if a song has a few simple chords that one already knows, the song should have these chords as well, which can make things much easier.

Barre chords are played with the fret hand and this is where the index finger is used to hold all six strings in a fret. This can be difficult for a beginner to do at first and they have to have lots of practice to do this effectively. So it is best to start off with as few of these types of chords as possible so that the song will be easier to play.

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.

One of the many songs that have these attributes is the song called Hurt. There are two versions of this song. It was first written and performed by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. Close to the end of his life, Johnny Cash covered this song. His version is more simple to play and so it is ideal for beginners.

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.

Among the best guitar songs for beginners, there are many pieces that one can choose from that have the attributes mentioned earlier. When one has learned the simpler songs, they can then learn the more complex ones. If one decides to try the more complicated pieces at when they are just starting to learn to play, they might have to practice for a long time before they become good at it. It is better to be good at a few simple pieces in a little bit of time than to struggle to master a difficult one for a long time.
