good guitar songs to learn

[samuraidragon]

whos got any favorite guitar songs? i'm trying to find some new stuff to learn.

Metallica- Enter Sandman
Metallica- Wherever I May Roam
Led Zeppilin- Black Dog
AC/DC- Hells Bells
Led Zeppilin- Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)
Audioslave- Original Fire

These songs are all pretty easy to pick up. They are all in standard tuning, too. Hope that helps! ^^

Alright, here we go.

System of the Down - Chop Suey (SUPER EASY)
Blindside - Caught a Glimpse
Megadeath - Symphony of Destruction (the solo is the only hard part)
Showbread - Mouth Like A Magazine
Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (the ultimate easy-to-play song)
Disturbed - Stricken (If you can get the timing down with your fingers/chords, its really easy)
Slipknot - Duality

I dont really care all too much for the band or what they stand for, but Black Sabbath's Iron Man is a good song too.

Hope that helps! If you want I can tell you more.

The first song I learned was:

Father I Adore You

blah.

Then I learned "Hang" by Matchbox 20, and it's really easy.

I'd just say get on line and find some free guitar chords of songs you already like, and just pick out the ones with only a few chords in them. Google is always good.

Happy callous-building!

Here is a good place to search for TABS for songs on.

Also, here is the tab for Caught a Glimpse.

Play the 555, 444, 333, 000 parts, change them to Power Chords. So, make them

C#|--X---X---X---X---7---0---8---0---12---0----X-------------|
G#|--7---6---5---2---5---0---6---0---10---0----9-{x14}-------|

Makes it sound alot better, though it makes it a little harder.

I don't play new stuff as much as I do older stuff. ^^

[Kazuya]

LOL I dont play other people's stuff much anymore. I mainly play my own stuff.

[samuraidragon]

yeah, i'd like to be able to write my own stuff, but i'm not that good yet

[rurouninaruto]

I should be that good. I've been taking lessons for about 5 years from my dad, and for the past 2 years, my practicing has been goofing off. I REALLY need to gain those 2 years back.

Relient K

Metallica (new stuff ie Nothing Else Matters, Enter Sandman etc)
Any other punk rock (Black Flag, Misfits etc)
If you are looking for hard, cool sounding stuff:
Joe Satriani
Yngwie Malmsteen
Steve Vai
Hope that helps!
