Pick some early beatles music, you can get the anthology from most music/book stores and the tab is the most complete you'll find.

No Rain by Blind Melon. Easy lead, but still sounds great.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

anything by green day should be extremely easy. perhaps some easy ACDC songs, since the drumming in most ACDC songs is easy (from what I've heard) and your drummer has the least experience.

no offense, but why are you people all anti-greenday? some greenday songs are not hard... i have no dificulty playing most of them...and me and two of my friends, all not good at their instruments except me, learned a greenday song, first time we ever played to gether, in one hour, when i come around, its easy, greenday is not hard to play!

I didn't say I was against greenday, I just said there stuff was extremely easy.

however, NOW i am going to say I am against greenday. I really just don't like music that just talks about politics, especially when all they do is bash on bush and the war... both of which I support.
