Question:

Easy guitar tabs?

im a beginner and i want to play something but everything i print is to hard for me right now

so i was wondering if there is any easy tabs that i can start out w/

thanks


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Try some songs by Nirvana like Polly or About a Girl. Otherwise Waiting and When I Come Around by Green Day are pretty easy and catchy. All these songs are pretty slow, and have easy and not too many chords. Usually punk rock is not very complicated. At the beginning, look for slower songs from the bands that you like, and then increase the speed as you progress.
From my own experience, listenning to the song with the chord pattern in front of you and trying to play along works pretty fine...
Look at 911tabs.com (link below) to find your tabs, it has a huge collection with many artists and genres. I would also recommend you get a software like GuitarPro 5: it's a software that plays the tabs you download (file formats gtp, gp3, gp4, and gp5), and it also shows you the finger positions, strumming patterns, etc...

Addendum: other cool songs
Blink 182 - All the small things
Deep Purple - Smoke on the water
Lenny Kravitz - Fly away
Metallica - Creeping Death (maybe a bit faster/harder)
Rolling Stones - (I can get no) Satisfaction

Addendum 2:
Another great way to learn would be to check out the video lessons of NextLevelGuitar.com (link provided), or look for their videos on Youtube. They have a bunch of videos showing how to play popular songs on both electric and acoustic guitars. I find them very good!
