subject: What To Know About Easy Guitar Songs [print this page] Finding easy guitar songs is not always so easy. For beginner guitar players it is important to find easy guitar songs that are both easy to play and easy to learn ' there is a difference. There are some key considerations about the most popular easy guitar songs that you should know as a beginner guitar player before you begin. These can make a difference as to how well you learn them and if you are successful at it.
Simple Chords
The first thing you should know about easy guitar songs for beginners is that they often incorporate simple chords and notes in their play so that they are easier for beginners to learn. If learned in a guitar tutorial sequence in an online tutorial website, the particular song is likely to follow the lesson about learning a few basic, standard chords. The reason they are called easy guitar songs is that they only use these simple chord patterns.
Added Techniques
Easy guitar songs also incorporate a lot of basic techniques that all guitar players will eventually need to know. Strumming speed/frequency, timing and muting guitar strings at particular times are simple skills/techniques that are often taught before any easy guitar song is played. An example of such a song is "Banana Pancakes" by Jack Johnson .
Guitar Tabs
One final thing that easy guitar songs often offer is guitar tabs. Guitar tabs are simpler ways for beginner players to read music and figure out which notes, frets and strings to hold down for the different notes. They are drawn as simple diagrams that feature usually six lines to represent each line on the guitar, with numbers on those lines to represent which fret to hold.
Finding Them
Beginners looking for easy guitar songs to learn to play along with are usually not very troubled in their search results. Online tutorial programs and websites usually use some simple, popular songs as a conclusion to each lesson. An alternative to professional tutorials is to use an internet search engine to find guitar tabs for the easy song of your choice.
