Easy Rock Guitar Songs

So you want to learn how to play rock guitar? Who doesn’t? It’s a very popular style of music and there are literally hundreds of songs you can learn how to play. Below are several relatively that you can start playing right now. Now when I say easy, I do not mean you can pick up the guitar and instantly be playing these songs perfectly. As with anything new, playing rock guitar songs is going to be a bit challenging in the beginning, even the ones that are considered extremely easy by many. If you apply yourself and practice these songs every day, you will be playing them much faster.

Now keep in mind that some of these songs have complicated intro’s and solos, so do not expect to be able to play the entire song right now. Try focusing on playing only the rythm sections of these songs, then when you become more experienced, you can try incorporating the more complicated sections of these rock songs.

I will be adding to this list of easy rock guitar songs over time, so be sure to bookmark this list and return often to check for updates. If there is a particular rock song that you would like to learn that is not listed here, be sure to leave a message in the comments box below and I will do my best to add it to the list..

Fun Easy Guitar Tabs For Beginners

July 17, 2008 by rserpe  
Filed under Easy Acoustic Guitar Tabs/Songs

I know that many beginners are looking for free that they can start playing right away. There are hundreds of websites online that list these easy guitar tabs and of course there is YouTube for the video lessons of these songs, but I could not locate any one site that put every thing together in one easy location.

Below are 5 popular guitar songs that any beginner can learn how to play with a bit of practice. You can play all of these songs on acoustic or electric guitar.

“Mr. Jones” by the Counting Crows, which is their first big hit on the radio and probably their most well known song to date.

“Summer of 69′” is by the well known rocker from canada, Bryan Adams. I thought this would be a great song to learn for all of you rock fans out there.

“Heart of Gold” by Neil Young, is from his 1972 Album Harvest. Surprisingly this is Neil’s only #1 hit song.

“Who Will Save Your Soul” by Jewel, was the first song released from her album Pieces of You. Jewel wrote this song when she was only 16 yrs old during a visit to Mexico.

“Margaritaville”, a well known song by pop artist Jimmy Buffett from the album Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.

The good thing about learning any song on guitar is that you can make it your own. If the original proves to be too difficult at first, then slow it down and make your own version.

If you want to sing and play these songs, don’t try and do both at first. Learn the song on guitar first and then slowly incorporate the singing into it, otherwise you will become quite frustrated.

Take Your Guitar Playing to the Next Level

Learning how to play your favorite songs is definitely a great way to learn, but you are seriously limiting yourself if that is your only method of learning. Why not invest in your guitar playing right now by getting your hands on the most popular home study course for guitarists called Learn and Master Guitar.  Trust me…You will be glad that you did.
