Post, and add whether it's for an amateur, rookie, or steve vai-wannabee.

Wonderwall (Oasis) - amateur

Soldier's poem (Muse) - amateur

As you can see, I'm an amateur...

Why should everyone know such a boring song to play like Soldier's Poem

I agree with 'Paul43 it's pretty boring.

But I think everyone DOES know Smoke On The Water, but obviously you don't HAVE to know it just most people do.

That's what I would've said... I think it's just a song that most guitarists first learn how to play. Also Smells Like Teen Spirit, every decent guitarist I've met plays that song.

Well yeah, I'm an amateur myself, it was one of the first songs that sounded easy, so I taught myself. It's emotional bondage I guess.

sweet child o' mine, johnny b good, master of puppets, smoke on the water, 007 theme, etc. just random easy bollocks.

I'm surprised noone has said Stairway to heaven yet. Almost every novice knows how to play atleast the beginning of it

Enter Sandman is a very easy one that most people can play. I recommend learning Master Of Puppets, its pretty good and somewhat difficult.
