Ten Songs for Beginning Guitar Players

Few instruments are as appealing to learn as the guitar. It’s portable – sure, the piano is awesome, but can you just pick one up and jam with your friends when you’re on the go? There’s a lot of repertoire for it – yeah, the glass harmonica sounds amazing, if you don’t mind playing the same three things over and over again. And, perhaps most importantly, it’s sexy – who doesn’t dig musicians, and what better way to start than by strumming a guitar?

Try your hands at one of these favorites. It can be hard to find good songs that are easy enough to play… so we did the work for you! Missing anything? Let us know!
