I need to learn a good but very easy rock song to play. Me and my parents made a deal, they said that whenever I learn to play a song all the way through they would get me and electric guitar and amp. All the songs i tried to play are pretty easy but they all have very hard solos that I can't play. So can someone tell me a very easy song to play?

Hey. A very easy rock song to play is You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC. The intro is very easy to learn and the the verse is just strait chords. The chorus is also easy to learn. The guitar solo is not that hard to learn with practice either. You couls also learn Holiday by Green Day, Back In Black by AC/DC(istead of duing the outro guitar solo u could use the alternate ending AC/DC uses in conerts), and u can also learn Come As You Are by Nirvana. Try any of those songs.

Tom Petty is generally really easy too. Free Fallin, Runnin Down A Dream, Breakdown, and Last Dance With Mary Jane (among others) are all do-able.

This an old song, and I doubt if you know it,
but your parents might ?

Intro ........C............F.............G............F

..............C............F.............G............F



..............C.............F.............G............F
...............Wild Thing

.................................C...........F..........G.........F
...............You make my heart sing


..............C............F.............G............F........C
...............Wild thing

Bridge
.............Bb.C.Bb.C.......Wild thing i think I love you


.............Bb.C.Bb.C ........I wanna Know for sure


.............Bb.C.Bb.C........Come on and hold me tight


..............Bb.C.Bb.C........You move me

Thats as complicated as the chords get - you might have to research the words..................Hope you get the gear
if you always take the lazy route

yeah, most people play it wrong way tho.

It's supposed to be only 2 strings instead of barre chords

The easiest song in the world(probably the deadest also, being that the radio raped when it came out) is Blvd of Broken Dreams by Green Day. It uses about 9 power chords. www.mxtabs.com
We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone...
