When I started, I learned:
Lithium, Heart Shaped Box, Karma Police, China Grove, Sweet Home Alabama, Freebird, ...I think it's safe to say that I haven't played any of those songs in years. That was before I learned Paranoid Android and my head disappeared so far up my arse, I couldn't see the light of day, much less learn a new tune for a long time. peace, -nick

they're not impressive but every guitar player should know at least these songs. they spice up any dying jam. whether or not it's to rock it out or fall over laughing at the cheese you just pulled out.
steppenwolf - born to be wild / magic carpet ride led zep - dazed and confused / communication breakdown sabbath - iron man / sweet leaf skynyrd - sweet home alabama CCR - proud mary iggy and the stooges - i wanna be your dog nirvana - smells like teen spirit neil young - rocking in the free world for the most part they're 3 chord songs. heck most of rocking in the free world is E hahaha. don't let the simplicity fool you though, they're exactly the kind of songs that just about everyone has heard a million times with melodies and changes simple enough that most people could pick them up relatively quickly in a impromptu jam session. |

Well I'm just starting... so some songs that I'm learning are
Karma Police- Radiohead- A great song to play, taught me some new chords Ziggy Stardust- David Bowie- Really fun to get right, and can help with double picking Mr. Jones- Counting Crows Fun to sing along with Anything by Neutral Milk Hotel- These songs are so simple to learn but can help early on with strumming patterns and easy chords Anyways these are just some songs that I have learned, and I've enjoyed them so far. |

Great ones of varying difficulty:
Dick Dale & the Del-Tones - Misirlou: A great gateway into alternate tunings. Miles Davis - All Blues: Learning this song totally changed how I thought about playing music. The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again: Feel good about yourself by playing easy chords fast. R.E.M. - Driver 8: How to arpeggiate like Mr. Peter Buck himself, the best right-hand in the business. The Clash - I Fought The Law: Mick Jones: Making crappy guitarists all over the world just a little more badass. The Jam - That's Entertainment!: Probably the best song to learn first.

Bigmouth Strikes Again Chords (ver 2) by Smiths @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
Easy chords, great tab. You need a capo mind you, or it really won't sound right. |
