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.

All they usually know is the first riff and by the way it is on distorted hammond organ not guitar.

For electric guitar:

The "whole lotta love" riff is good value.

Sabbath's "Paranoid" is classic.

ACDC "back in black" is also tasty.

Master of puppets is great but to play it right is pretty tricky.

Wild thing.........troggs good easy song

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.

Yup I totally agree, when I started that was probably the 3rd song I learned...next to Pens and Needles by Hawthorne Heights

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.
