Hots on for nowhere Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 ok so i just started giving guitar lessons to one of my sisters friends who is in 7th grade and i was wondering if you guys could give me any song suggestions to teach (besides music theory stuff)...he already knows some stuff like where the frets are, the string names, and basic chords (G, C, A, E ect.) and he likes classic rock stuff too (favs: zeppelin, the beatles) any song suggestions will be nice thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMcLov1n Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Check out the album All Things Must Pass by George Harrison. There are many awesome songs that are pretty simplistic when it comes to guitar, but beautiful and melodic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy's A Legend Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Well if he knows the basic chords why not Let It Be, beatles, it's simple and an easy start I guess, if he likes Pink floyd, maybe We Wish You Were Here too, maybe Knocking On Heaven's Door (dylan version) Guns n roses Patience too.

Fan_S. Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Also, maybe Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice, too, a strumming version. Then later he can move on to the picking version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Camp fire songs are the best ones to learn because they are more or less about strumming and not a lot of picking involved: Coldplay - Green Eyes Beatles - You've Got To Hide Your Love Away Led Zeppelin - Black Country Woman Def Leppard - Two Steps Behind Rolling Stones - Wild Horses (or as I like to sing, White Horses) David Bowie - Starman Doctors of Madness - I Think We're Alone Jeff Martin - The Riverland Rambler Johnny Cash - Jackson Merry Christmas - Slade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
