I don't think anybody has learned to play guitar without adding this to their repertoire.

Am C D F
Am C E
Am C D F
Am E Am E


There is a house in New Orleans,
they call the "Rising Sun",
it's been the ruin of many a poor girl,
and me, oh lord, I'm one.

My mother is a tailor,
she sews those new blue jeans.
My husband he's a gambling man,
drinks down in New Orleans.

My husband in a gambler,
he goes from town to town.
The only time that he's satisfied,
is when he drinks his liquor down.

Go tell my baby sister,
never do what I have done.
Shun that house in New Orleans
they call the "Rising Sun".

One foot on the platform,
the other's on the train,
I'm going back to New Orleans,
to wear that ball and chain.

Going back to New Orleans,
my race is almost run,
I'm going to sped the rest of my life,
beneath that "Rising Sun".


or The Animals version:

There is a house in New Orleans,
they call the Rising Sun.
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God, I know I'm one.

My mother was a tailor
she sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gamblin' man
down in New Orleans.

Now the only thing a gambler needs
is a suitcase and a trunk.
And the only time that he's satisfied
is when he's down and drunk.

Oh mother tell your children
not to do what I have done.
Spend your lives in sin 'n misery
in the House of the Rising sun.

Well I've got one foot on the platform
the other foot on the train.
I'm going back to New Orleans
to wear that ball and chain.

There is a house in New Orleans,
they call it Rising Sun.
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God, I know I'm one.

Yup, I learned that one. One of the first ones my guitar teacher showed me way back in the day.


I've recommended it once, I'll recommend it again - Learn 'Comfortably Numb' by Floyd.

Verse is Bm - A - G - Em.

Chorus is D - A - C - G.

That's simplified down, but you'll be able to figure it out.

I recommend Wild Thing the Hendrix Version. Well, you might not be able to play it at first, but you'll get it.
A D E A
A little later
G A G A
That's the basic.

If you thinks it's a boring song, you need to listen to Jimi's Version.

You might wanna learn some Nirvana. I'm not really sure of any sites, but I just wanted to tell you that. Every Nirvana song kicks a$$, but they're suprisingly easy.



And Kirk Hammett is God!!!

If you want a easy song to play just try to play anything new. Every new band has the absolute easiest guitar work you'll ever hear. Granted it all sucks but it is easy.

I played guitar for about one month. My roomate taught me how to read the music. I picked it up pretty quick, and I thought Lifehouse's "Hanging by a moment" is pretty simple. Well the opening is for fingerpicking.
