5 Simple Guitar Songs You Can Play Acoustically

By Maria Lopez


If you want to study the acoustic guitar, you're in for a genuine treat, and the same is true for your audience. Many who start to learn how to play can't comprehend the number of popular songs on the radio only make use of a small number of chords. You will find very well-known songs available today which are unbelievably easy to learn. To make the point, listed here are five easy guitar songs you're able to learn.

1. For What It's Worth This song comes from Buffalo Springfield, and was originally played in '67. Most of this song makes use of E and A chords, but then chords C and D are played during the chorus. This song can be played pretty quickly, and you can easily find instructions all over the internet telling you what to do.

2. Knockin' on Heaven's Door It might be too good to be true at first blush, however this Bob Dylan (no, the first to sing it was not Guns 'n Roses!) song is also simple to play. One can find good YouTube's on how to play this song, and when to play the chords and even covering how long you need to hold each note.

3. Redemption The third on this short listing of acoustic easy guitar songs is Bob Marley's tour de force, "Redemption." This can be a little bit more intricate to play since it uses more chords than the other two songs, but continue to be within the beginner's chord range and may be learned from that point of view. This song uses Am, Em, G, D in addition to C chords. It can seem more complex, but it is a good quality beginner's doorway to guitar.

4. Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd is responsible for making, "Wish You Were Here" renowned back in their time. There is certainly, again, a number of chords used in this song, but because they are spread out a bit, you will have time to get your fingers in place. Wish You Were Here uses the following chords: A, Am, D, G, Em and C. This like the others is a very traditional (modern) song, easy to try out and with striking results when you want to show your family and friends that you're mastering guitar.

5. Time of Your Life The final of the easy guitar songs which you can play unplugged is called Time of Your Life, made prominent by the famous alternative band Green Day. This song is pretty repetitive, you may find. Because of that, it is easy to play (you even play a note nine times over at one juncture). It could sound basic, but it's a work of art. This song will show you the G, D, C and Em chords.
