Spec: Songs For A N00b Guitar Player.

Spec 11.22.10	I'm almost proud to say that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is not on the list.
Spec 11.22.10	What I Got by Sublime as well.
Jakeitwasaghost 11.22.10	When I first started playing, I just learned a shitload of NOFX songs. Punk rock is good for getting your power chords down (as well as basic rhythms). Then, of course, you gotta drop that shizz down to drop A'zzzzzzzzz.
Spec 11.22.10	As dumb as it sounds... I can't seem to figure out power chords.
Jakeitwasaghost 11.22.10	It's the muscle memorization. You'll get it. Gotta stretch that pinky out kid. Or, if you're lazy, just tune to drop D. Power chords become just a straight bar.
Jakeitwasaghost 11.22.10	I normally play in drop D, everything down half a step. E string 2 1/2 steps down, the rest half a step.
Spec 11.22.10	Worth a try. Thanks! I'll go learn me some NOFX ;)
AnotherBrick 11.22.10	check out this site http://farhatguitar.com/index.php great for beginner guitarists
Spec 11.22.10	Alright i'll check it out!
climactic 11.22.10	"I can't seem to figure out power chords." wut
alachlahol 11.22.10	power chords are the easiest shit on the planet even when you're starting out what open chords can you play (ie. E, A, D, G, C)
Spec 11.22.10	A, Am, C, D, Dm, Em, F, G. Something like that.
Strider 11.22.10	"I normally play in drop D, everything down half a step. E string 2 1/2 steps down, the rest half a step." Drop D is everything in standard, and the E string down 2 steps, cause that makes a D ;)
JJwins 11.24.10	learn some 311. easy, catchy songs. I'm self-taught also, and say I'm pretty good. Started off playing nothing but Nirvana and 311 songs, along with the normal n00b songs. Really give you a good base to build off of.
FromDaHood 11.24.10	Fred era Taking Back Sunday isn't too tough
D41V30N 11.24.10	Mudvayne - Dead Inside XD rofl
fr33convict 11.24.10	Learn lots of Brand New. Jesus has two chords (Am and C) in the whole fucking song.
Strider 11.24.10	I started playing Metallica songs. Just try a lot of stuff with tight rhythm sections if you want to sing at the same time and not too confident about yourself
fr33convict 11.24.10	Learn some 80's hardcore like Black Flag. Easiest shit on the planet.
Awesomesauce 11.24.10	+1 for Metallica stuff for noobs. All of their good songs are in standard tuning and their not too hard. Sounds manly too.
whywontyoudie 11.24.10	i think i'm the only person on this site that doesn't play guitar.
D41V30N 11.24.10	I don't play guitar. I play keyboards XD.
fr33convict 11.24.10	"All of their good songs are in standard tuning." Load and Reload are in Eb, "The Thing That Should Not Be" and "All Nightmare Long" are in drop D, and St. Anger is drop C or lower.
deathcap 11.24.10	I learned with nirvana and whatever else sounded easy. Keep fooling with power chords, cuz you're gunna be using them through all levels of guitar skill.
whywontyoudie 11.24.10	i take piano and dabble in drums whenever i get a few minutes to spare. never even attempted playing guitar.
climactic 11.24.10	"Drop D is everything in standard, and the E string down 2 steps, cause that makes a D ;)" actually you fail hard cause thr E string only goes down 1 step
fr33convict 11.24.10	to give him the benefit of the doubt i think he meant half-steps
couldwinarabbit 11.24.10	WONDERWALL
Spec 11.24.10	Drumming is still where it's at.
climactic 11.24.10	well thats what would be correct but he got the terms wrong. and why say "2 half steps" if you can just say 1 whole step
Strider 11.24.10	"actually you fail hard cause thr E string only goes down 1 step" oh yeah sorry !
fr33convict 11.24.10	cause he's strider jk not really jk for real
Strider 11.24.10	in my head it was actually two half-steps sorry.
climactic 11.24.10	oh jk wait uhh jk
fr33convict 11.24.10	why did i start this ????
liledman 11.24.10	sum 41 was always good for me back in the day. mostly power chord stuff with a few riffs here and there, nothing too difficult when starting out.
liledman 11.24.10	oh yeah and never learn wonderwall or stairway to heaven otherwise you are a faggot.
fr33convict 11.24.10	Learn AC/DC and Rammstein and instantly double your masculinity.
Masochist 11.24.10	Guster - "Rainy Day" (at least the beginning of it)
DrGunther 11.25.10	Paranoid/Iron Man - Black Sabbath
