Find some good songs to learn on guitar, figure out how to play them and you'll always have
an ace up your sleeve if there's an acoustic guitar lying around at a party. When the next
opportunity arises, you can become a 15 minute hero because it's easy to add some real 'crowd
pleasers' to your repertoire, even if you only know 3 chords.
There are so many 3 chord guitar songs to choose from so it doesn't really matter too
much if you're a beginner guitar player. Just remember that the more famous the song, the
more likely people will sing along which means it's of less importance how good you are!
If you like the thought of getting a party going and having a group of people in the
palm of your hand, let's look at some songs.
How to find good songs to learn on guitar?
You'd be surprised how many beginner guitar songs could be classed the most recognized,
if not the greatest guitar songs of all time. If you're a beginner, start looking for tracks
right away by making a note of the chords you can play and simply searching online.
However, if you know E major, A major and D major, why not try this:
Wild Thing - The Troggs
Chords : This song has 3 basic chords (E major, A major and D major) which are normally the
first 3 chords that you would learn in a guitar course. So, you should be able to play this
very soon after starting to learn.
Strumming: The strumming is basic and you can manage to play the full song using only
downward strokes. Not only that, there's quite a nice space in between some of the chords
so you can get your fingers in the right place, just in time.
Even if this song wouldn't be your first choice of style, it's worth knowing it because it's
so simple and one of those good songs to play for people when in the party mood.
