Need some full songs to learn on guitar

**bostonfreak111** · Joined: 12 Jul 2007 Posts: 252

Ive been focusing a lot about my improv soloing and theory lately, but i think i need to focus on my rhythm guitar too. so for discipline and for rhythm practice and for the sake of knowing some good songs, id like to learn some full songs, every part of them and get them down GREAT. any suggestions? i dont care if the solos are really hard ill skip them if i have to, thats not what im focusing on. ive been playing for 7 or so months, so you can send me challenging things, just no dream theater or stuff like that

if you have good tabs thats helpful too but not necessary.

She Sells Sanctuary, The Cult
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, Good Charlotte
Holiday, Green Day
Come Out and Play, The Offspring

I play these songs all the time, and I'm willing to bet that you're better than me. Give 'em a shot.

Frantic by Metallica is the first song I learned to play all the way through on guitar. Pretty simple, but fast. The rythem guitar on Whiplasj (also by Metallica) is simple, and once a agin, very fast.

Did you try searching around a bit? This type of topic is one that has been done to death, so I believe there is already a topic on this subject.

As crazy as it sounds, F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X. by Fall of Troy is actually relatively simple and fun. It is also repetitive and easy to memorize. Basket Case by Green Day is also a very easy song to learn. Just make sure you can keep track of which notes to palm mute. If you have heard the song before (and you probably have), then it shouldn't be too hard.

You probably already know this, but backing tracks are VERY useful in helping you keep the beat of the song, and the song just sounds better overall.

Tenacious D - Tribute
Deep Purple - Smoke on the water

Bruce Springsteen-Thundercrack

Great stuff, pretty much always something going on on guitar and changes quite often with a pretty simple, yet awesome solo.

Most Pearl Jam songs are pretty easy in the rhythm section. Mostly chords, sometimes some weird voicings, almost always 4/4 or 3/4. Radiohead too, but some of their songs are harder to break down.

I reccomend (sp?) Just what I needed by the Cars

Super easy, with a B.A. but easy solo. This was the first song I learned all the way through.

I would learn a Metallica song off Kill 'Em All. Those are relatively easy, but fast, rhythm songs, and the solos are fun to improv. For example, Hit the Lights is in A Minor Pentatonic, which is one of the first scales you should learn. Improving is incredibly easy with that scale.
