Greetings fellow guitarist. I really appreciate your visit. So, I hear you are looking for some cool, easy songs to learn on the guitar? Very good then. You have found the perfect place.

It is true. One of the best ways to gain more experience with your instrument is to learn popular songs. Be careful however. This should not be your ONLY form of practice. Learning popular music is certainly a great way to learn chords, chord progressions, strumming patterns, solos and more, but it should not take the place of other forms of practice. Variety is key when learning how to play the acoustic guitar. Just keep that in mind as you play along with the songs below.

That being said, below are 20 popular songs for you to dive into right now and start learning. These are all aimed at beginners however there are some that are very simple and others that may take a bit longer for you to get the hang of. I purposely designed it this way to challenge you. If you never challenge yourself or try new and different things, you will never improve.

As you are going through these songs, please keep in mind that the following 20 are only a small sample of our easy acoustic guitar songs. If you follow the link below, you will find many more songs you can start learning and playing right away. You will find songs in a variety of genres including country, rock, pop, folk and more.

Great site. I have learnt a few of the songs on the list. Knocking on Heaven’s Door is my favourite. They are really easy to learn, but very effective and everyone loves them. One song I picked up recently was Chris Rea’s Road to Hell. Really easy. I think it would be suitable for this site.

You actually make it appear really easy together with your presentation however I to find this matter to be really something which I think I’d never understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely extensive for me. I am taking a look ahead for your subsequent submit, I will attempt to get the grasp of it!
