Beginners Guitar Songs

[RUFiOOOOOOO]

So, i finally got new strings on my guitar. I suck at guitar, I'm a beginner but havent really began yet. Anyone know any good punk songs that would be easy to play for a beginner?

Thanks in advance!:)

[Fobika!]

anything by the Misfits

Brain Stew by Green Day

if you can't play that, quit the guitar

[unoriginal]

From what I hear a lot of people start off with blink songs.

yeah, the only thing i know how to play is the intro to "Dammit". haha

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

"Brain Stew" by Green Day, if you can't play that, like Greg said, you really should quit altogether.

[Greg]

hmmm, easy blink songs....

dammit
aliens exist
first date....



shit they're all so easy. try any blink song.

[theused_FSF]

u should learn all your scales, memorize all of your power chords by their key, learn to play in drop d (more freedom on the guitar)

[kidinthecorner]

Holy shit, I can play "Brain Stew" on guitar and I'm a drummer. You should quit life if you can't do that.

[Frodo]

i've been messing around on my sisters guitar a lot lately and i can play a bunch of blink songs, they're all easy

[ryan]

and actually you shouldnt start with blink, just learn your chords and correct fingering and stuff. then youll be able to play whatever with a bit of practice.

if you learn all the basic stuff first, youll learn other songs alot faster.

BUT WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT

[blaarg]

yea, dude try playing a c major 11-5 in drop d.

[finch macbeth]

try to start off with rufio.... but don't start with van halen the first day though you should be able to play eruption in a week or so (sarcasm). What i did was start off with easy songs by blink like i wanna f* a dog, the grandpa song. Then move one to chord stuff probably powerchord stuff. once you learn your basic chords move to major, then penatonic scales (whee i hate those bastard scales) And uh i've never heard of a c major 11-5 scale... I've been in band and music theory and i think i musta got bored and didn't pay attention.

[jesus teh feesh]

penatonics are a bitch. just thought i would throw that in there

[The Nephilm]

go learn how to play bar cords and memorize at least the low E and A strings.

after that, learn the penatonic and major scales, and start developing your ear and picking out chord progressions. Go buy a clapton CD and try to figure out the chords in ever song... it ain't hard because it's the same fucking thing every time.. 1, 4, 5 etc.

then start learning Iron Maiden songs. <---- is the best advice you can ever have.
