PLEASE suggest a EASY and POPULAR song....... my skills - i can play all the bar chords and open chords with a little bit lead here and there.... also i have a freind who dosent know much but plays basic chords like c d a g so bottom line......i know i m being stupid....but i really need to perform.... also the guitars are acoustic....... so far i have narrowed down to eric clapton's - wonderfull tonight...... its a damm easy song and popular too.....i just need 2 more songs any help is welcomed. PeAcE
Jack Johnson- Sitting waiting wishing Ben Harper- Walk away Snow Patrol- Chasing cars Bryan Adams- Summer of 69, Heaven etc Def Leppard- Two steps behind Foo Fighters- Times like these, (My) Hero Any hit of Greenday, most conducive to acoustic would be Time of your life Guns n roses- Patience Toad the wet sprocket- Windmills, Something's always wrong If you can get a decent female singer, Evanescence- My immortal There you go. A good list to pick from.
HI d_ist_urb_ed, thanks so much for this list..........i am going to check them all out..... but buddy.......i feel these are pretty tough songs....... i mean....i was just trying out rembrants - i'll be there for you... and frankly speaking i m finding i hard o play.... so please suggest some thing of my skill level.... thanks anyways though
Most of the songs that i listed have simple chord patterns. You either strum them or pick the individual notes. It's not that difficult once you get into it. For 'Walk away' and 'My immortal' you need a strong sense of rhythm to play along with a singer or to sing it yourself. The timing throws you off sometimes. Anyhow, check them all out, select two songs and run with it. Also, if you want a quasi-emo love song, you can also look at Plain White T's- Hey there delilah. Again, dont be intimidated if you cant get your head around a song right away, keep at it and you'll be playing it soon enough.
