Simple Guitar Songs-Learn 4 Simple Songs Right Now

Simple guitar songs are what make guitar playing so cool, especially in a group setting-when was the last time you were at the beach and someone pulled out a trumpet for a quick sing along? Finding suitable songs to play in a situation like that can be a bit of a challenge though, so I’ve put some together along with the chords so you can play then straight off the bat!

Simple Guitar Songs Number 1-
Knockin On Heaven’s Door-
This was originally Bob Dylan’s song, but has been covered by lots of people including Clapton and Guns N Roses.
A real classic and great fun to play as almost everyone knows the words. It’s in the key of G major, so if you know the G major scale or G major pentatonic you can spice it up with some licks and fills as you see fit.
The chords are-
G, D, Am7, just cycled over and over again. Cool? I think so.

Simple Guitar Songs Number 2-
Freebird-Lynyrd Skynyrd.
This song is also pretty easy to play-people tend to think it’s really difficult though, so they’ll think you’re great if you can do it! This is also in the key of G major, so the same scales apply, although if you slot in some G minor it will sound truly cool!
The chords for this simple guitar song are as follows:
Main Verse- G, D/F#, Em, F, C, D
Chorus-Cycles through F, C, and D over and over,
Outro- it’s just G5, A#5, and C5 over and over.

Simple Guitar Songs Number 3-
Fallin’ -Alicia Keys
A really beautiful song, always goes down well with the ladies and is super cool to play if there is a talented singer nearby.
It’s only 2 chords Em and Bm, cycled the whole way through. You can get the timing easily from the record, and if you are feeling cheeky a bluesy solo in Em may go down well.

Simple Guitar Songs Number 4-
Sympathy For The Devil-The Stones.
A cool dark song, and there’s always someone in the room who wants to do the “oo-oo” part too! This song has great simple chords that go together really well. The chords are:
Verse-E, D, A, E cycled over and over
Chorus- B to E over and over-the chorus can be tricky so be sure to listen to the record to get the changes down.

So there you are, 4 truly cool simple guitar songs. If you’re going to a party or to the beach or wherever be sure to take your acoustic and get some fun happening!
