First song I learnt was Highway man by Soad then I think some Incubus

I first learned to play Green Day- Jesus of Suburbia
American Idiot
Nickleback-Fellin' way too **** good
None of them are tooo tough except for American idiot nad that was just b/c of the intro

mikethecoug 05-15-2005 11:10 AM

i suppose they are hard if you are really really beginner, but to me, and i stil class myself as a beginner, are all terribly easy.

feel good inc by gorillaz is fun to play and is so easy too.

Someone needs to go back and compile a big list, instead of having to sift through 10 pages of the same 25-30 songs repeated over and over by different people unwilling to read the thread.

Any Rancid

Sunshine of Your Love - Cream

Sounds good with a guitar player, plus gets you using your fingers and some bends in there too. Good practice!

mikethecoug 05-18-2005 10:18 AM

sunshine of your love impresses people too, :lol:.
and yeah good idea, somebody preferably a mod, compile a list please, and like in the guitar forum, a thread with links to all helpful threadds.

thanks

For those of a simillar vintage to myself, who may hanker back to the early 80's Brit Funk sound of Mark King and Level 42 - "DUNE TUNE" was the very first piece I learned to play. I love it.
It's not that hard for a beginer but it gives you the chance to play bass as it's meant to be played, as lead. ;)

Rikkus_the_rookie 06-01-2005 12:19 PM

Hi guys
I'm looking for a fun song to play, something like little sister (qotsa) and i was hoping maybe you know some songs. I would like a song that goes rather fast, and is melodic. I would also like a song in the same genre as Qotsa.
Thx
Rikkus

Aquinnah 06-04-2005 09:51 AM

I've been playing for barely three weeks and so far I've learned:

Toadies: Possum Kingdom
Creedence: Down On the Corner
Creedence: Who'll Stop the Rain
Creedence: Bad Moon Rising
White Stripes: Seven Nation Army
The Transplants: Diamonds and Guns
Folk Implosion: Natural One *I do still have trouble with this one at times, but I can play it really, really slow. :p

Aneirin 06-04-2005 11:51 AM

Anyone know any good Metal songs for beginners? With the exception of Metallica (I've learnt loads of songs by them, still good though!).

Buzzbomb 06-04-2005 12:37 PM

Journey To The End of East Bay - Rancid
Time Bomb - Rancid
