More beginner songs

I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a good site where more material is available with more beginner rock songs. Guitarticks only has a handful of truly beginner rock songs and I am looking for more. I know I will probably have to pay for them because everything is copy written but I am finding the best way to learn is to play songs. Thanks for any suggestions

Yes, I agree is there anymore beginner rock songs or country songs for beginner on the site so we beginner will just continue rocking the guitar with out getting bored with the same songs. Please!

JustinGuitar Songs - Justin Sandercoe,

or his website where songs are colour code graded by difficulty

Andy Guitar - Andy Crowley. You'll have to sift through that lot yourself; or go to his website. This link is songs by artist. From the main page, you can sort by various filters.

Guitar At Work - Shane Simpson. Just search for "How to play" at that link. Superb instructional technique. Shane's got 'the touch'. Also here. Click on Download Songsheets for songs.

Shutup & Play Pick of the bunch. Andy's just the best, but material here might prove a tad more challenging if you're a rank beginner. Also here.

[br]That should get you started.

Maybe we need to direct the question to one of the teachers?

I'm pretty new here. I thought I saw a whole lot of songs. I just went and (quickly) checked to satisfy my own curiousity.

There are:

- 14 labeled Absolute Beginner

- 172 labeled Beginner

- 379 labeled Easy

Plus there is a song request forum.

Additionally, if you've watched Lisa's videos she recommends how to find songs using google and at the end of her chapters she has recommended songs to try to learn.

Further, manXcat, just gave a bunch more resources (thanks!).

Personally, I feel overwhelmed by all choices!

Hi kenmiller8128,

Have you had a chance to check out our Made Easy song lessons here?

https://www.guitartricks.com/songs.php?input=beginners

These are songs that are usually a bit more complicated, but we've simplified them a little bit so they're easy enough to play on just a single guitar. I suggest checking them out!

I am just shutting down for the night manX but wanted to throw this together quickly for you. Take heart my man.

For manX

Edit: I love the song Jolene manX but never dug into it. Justin's color coding was easy to follow and there it was - a 4 chord wonder!

Totally Grateful. My bad. I had not seen the responses, somehow, before I responded about asking Guitar tricks. I like rock, so less choices, but still all great suggestions. I am still a fetus of a guitar player, at best. Appreciate the effort people took to provide me information.

You all rock.

To select from the choice of Rock songs available on Guitar Tricks by difficulty listed from easy to hardest, go here

You can categorise for yourself any genre of song in ascending or descending order of difficulty rating, or other categorisation, i.e. artist, alphabetical, through chosing the category from the clickable Songs header button displayed on the front page.

A considerably wider range is available at the sources I listed in my initial response. Andy Crowley for the easiest generally, JustinGuitar next for a mixture, although whichever level of difficulty you are looking for is easy to triage due to his colour coding legend. Shane Simpson makes the complex 'easy'. He has a undeniable gift as a dynamic tutor. Andy (IDK his surname) of Shutup & Play is an perpetual source of inspiration and growth for me. Attention to detail, he explans every nuance.

[br]Thanks William MG. Gladdens me even more you found something in it there on JG [u]for you[/u].

My subsequent post wasn't the ego feeling unappreciated, rather an unwavering aspect of personality arguably ever more an anacronism in this epoch, of values which align with Tommy Lee Jones' character Captain Woodrow F. Call's statement demonstrated here in a this clip from the 1980's mini-series adaptation of the book "Lonesome Dove" illustrating it far better than I could ever explain it. Age and wisdom have tempered tolerance to exercise restraint, force always in my case being 'diplomacy continued by other means' of last resort even when I was young, subtlety by way of word ordinarily sufficing, these days with a care as the wound dealt from the rapier tongue can leave a 'bruise' never forgotten. Despite self-discipline [u]most of the time,[/u] that human frailty still leads me into trouble.

Diverging for a moment as I am wont to do, I noticed in your YT vid that your capturing or editing software is [u]mirror imaging[/u] your recordings to make them appear you are playing left handed. As it occured with both the phone camera capture previously and this capture which I presume isn't your phone (?) camera, it must be the software.

Look at the Pacifica logo on your 112V clearly discernible in that vid. and it's the unmistakable giveaway.

It's the way my Note 9 processes the image. I use selfie mode when recording these.

Ken, it is not a suggested site, but you might look at a book series called "Easy Pop Melodies". There is the one I just listed and "More Easy Pop Melodies" and "Even More Easy Pop Melodies". I don't know for a fact but I suspect that they are produced by Hal Leonard. Each one has 20 songs "dumbed down" for the beginneing guitarist. A great way to get to playing some music early on. I'm sure you can get a description on Amazon

Good suggestion matonanjin2.

I was going to suggest Hal Leonard myself earlier. I have a couple of their publications including this and this, the latter being the spiral bound hard copy edition with interactive online audio tutorials (used to be a CD, now digital access).

To the OP, for guitar, go here, select Songbooks from the menu under Guitar Bass Folk Instruments, and in the drop-down sub-menu you'd be hard pressed to not find something [u]at a preferred level to suit[/u] to appease the appetite. Edit: PS. That last link works best in a desktop browser. For some reason, it doesn't present accurately at the same sub-menu within the same browser on an Andriod tablet or phone.
