guitar songs, fingerstyle songs, riffs, and guitar intros for you. It’s all here!

First thing first. When you pick up a guitar you want to make sure you hold your
guitar in the right way, have proper posture and good hand positioning so you don’t
risk any injuries over the short and long term. Don’t underestimate this. Now there
are a few fundamental keys you need in order to play easy guitar songs: Basic open
chords, switching between chords, strumming patterns and playing with a capo. If
you work on these core elements you can learn any song you like.

Let’s elaborate on those elements real briefly or if you want to head right over to the
easy song list check out the Table of Contents.

Right from the start you want to learn how to read and how to play the most
important basic open guitar chords: C – A – G – E – D – Am – Em – Dm (see chord
diagrams below).

Once you got those under your fingers you can add the F and Bm chord and some
dom7 chords like A7 – E7 – D7 – G7 and C7. You can check them out right here: The

Second Most Important Guitar Chords For Beginners  Chords are you building blocks
to create the harmony for the songs. You don’t need to learn all the chords at once, just
start with the ones that are in the song you want to learn.

After you’ve learned two or three chords you want to practice the switching between
chords which is playing a smooth transitions between one chord and the next. This is
where it all comes down to. It’s the art of playing your chords clean and clear and
switch in time to the next chord while strumming your strings.

This might be challenging in the beginning but after some practice you will soon get
the hang of it. The faster you learn to grab your chords the easier the chord transition
will be. It will really benefit playing these songs.

Rhythm guitar is all about the strumming and strumming patterns. It defines the
groove, the beat and tempo of the song. For easy songs we’ve got easy strumming
patterns that are universal for many songs and played in the most popular songs of all
times.

Most songs have a 4/4 time signature which has a variaty of strumming patterns you
can use starting from real easy to more challenging rhythm patterns. Besides 4/4 time
songs are also played in 2/4, 3/4 and 6/8 time, but for most popular songs that’s about
it. Don’t worry these are all simple strumming patterns.

Some of the songs in this list below are played with a capo. A capo is a small device
that you can clamp onto the neck of a guitar and allows you to easily change the key
of the guitar. It makes it possible to play the song in the original key but use simple
open chords to make the song easier to play.

This is a common thing in guitar playing and guitar players do it all the time, not just
beginners. It’s also a way to be more creative with your guitar playing. I always say:
“Life is too short not to use a capo.”

In the song lists we’ve got links to video guitar lessons and tutorials, song chord
sheets with lyrics and easy‐to‐read guitar tabs to learn the songs even faster. We’ve got
easy songs of all times from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 2010, 2020 up till now, but also
every style of music from easy rock, blues, country to jazz songs.

Finally we added some easy song riffs and intros to spice up your playing. Remember,
take small steps, practice daily and diligently, and you’ll be playing these songs in no
time.
