Actually it comes out to 31% which makes it "almost" 1/3 of the songs. So, to the other posters defending GT's stance I personally think that's too much.

I have to disagree, 31% I do not think is too much for a website looking to teach people of all abilities, I personally think GT has a very good mix in the songs and lessons added to appeal to all it's subscribers.

There's also so much more to do on GT than just learn songs and Christopher has given us some amazing new lessons this year, infact it was his content alone that made me decide to sign up for another years subscription.

I agree. I joined this site as a beginner. It kind of annoyed me that Jamplay both seems to cater to electric, and tougher songs. I like that guitartricks has a nice selection of acoustic songs, and that I can sort by both difficulty and acoustic guitar.

I think all of us want to ultimately learn songs as the artist intended. But there is a need for both types of songs, and this site is obviously catered more to beginners, as is demonstrated with the "Fundamentals 1" path being so basic. Maybe ask the same teachers that are releasing the "easy mode" lessons to also release an "as the artist intended" version.
