Piss Easy Acoustic Guitar Songs

Said i'd throw this up see how it flew?!?!?


figured we'd all add fairly easy / straightforward guitar songs that do exactly what it says on the tin.

sure to start off i'll go for






FANS - KINGS OF LEON





i'm not entirely sure its 100% accurate but you can make a decent fist at it with a sliding E chord

with an 8 beat on the 1st fret to a 4 beat on the 7th and then a 4 on the 9th then repeat.

so


E (8) E(on 7th fret for 4) then E (on the 9th for 4) REPEAT.






anyways just an idea i had as i was messing about with the guitar here while at the comp.

Learn 12 bar blues, or standard rock and roll (ala Johnny b goode) and you can play pretty much every cheesey rocknroll song ever written with slight variations to the timing.

Three Little Birds (Bob Marley) can be played with A, D and E
Blowin In The Wind (Bob Dylan) can be played with D, G and A or G, C and D
The Scientist (Coldplay) can be played with very easy chords (Youtube lesson)
I'm Yours (Jason Mraz) can be played with G, C, D and Em
Sweet Home Alabama sounds ok in three chords (G, C and D)
Check out three chord guitar on youtube for more ...


I object to the title of this thread - I imagine that this is aimed at beginners and most of us find learning to play the guitar to be difficult initially.
