Beginner songs
Ok, this thread can be a compilation of good songs for beginners to learn. There are a hundred and one threads asking for and listing such songs, so lets compile it all in one place.
(JerrytheRacecarDriver / Grondahl gets a cookie for the idea) [img]http://i.cnn.net/cnn/2003/WORLD/europe/10/02/cookie.crumble/story.cookies.jpg[/img] Here's the plan.
