One of the first things beginners want to do when they pick up a guitar is to play their favorite songs. Anyone who's played the guitar for even a short amount of time would know this is difficult, as beginners need to learn the basics and practice them well before they can play most songs. If you're new to the guitar, you'll be happy to hear that there are many songs that you can learn to play whilst learning basic guitar techniques. These songs can be found across the internet in tab form, a quick Google search should be enough to find them.
Here's a few of my favorites:
House Of The Rising Sun - The Animals
This is one of those songs you either love or hate. Personally, I love this song because it's one of those easy songs you can learn quickly, and practice your finger-picking at the same time. If sixties music isn't your taste, then you shouldn't find it too difficult to find cover tabs on the internet, although you don't want to over complicate the song.
Before You Accuse Me - The Blues
Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of blues music. That said, "Before You Accuse Me" is one of the songs that will get you familiarized with the 12 bar blues, which at some time in your guitar career you'll have to learn eventually.
If you are a fan of blues music, count yourself lucky, as tabs for this song are everywhere!
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
This one is slightly harder to play than the other two, but it's one of my favorite songs of all time, so it had to go on the list!
To play it perfectly for a beginner would be almost impossible, so it's probably best to find a lesson where the song has been simplified slightly. Remember, there's never one way to play a song... in fact, those who are familiar with online tablature would know that there are millions of interpretations.
