i know where to find tabs- and sheet music too, but i dont know any easy songs

how abuot taking some of those tabs and actualy attempting to play them. You can easily make the assesment on whats easy or hard to play by (get this) playing it.

try proudest monkey, its what i started with. and also at the same time you could try sattelite. it might seem hard, but once you know that, you'll know alot of other songs.

i just picked up a guitar after a long time and the first thing i learned was granny and it was pretty easy to get started on.

it takes 2 steps and yahi-thanks for the tips (songs)

yeah i just got a guitar for christmas...i really really suck so far but i am trying to play the intro to dreaming tree...it is kinda easy and sounds really cool

[bullhead1987]

Lie in Our Graves is a good song to learn...it will also teach you some strumming pattern stuff...and the Satelite hand stretch takes a while to master...but what I did was just play the riff really slowly....over and over...ad nauseum...until I got the hand stretches. Once you get the "add9" chord used in the Satelite riff...you'll be able to play many of Dave's riffs as well as some Police songs (Message in A Bottle, Every Breath You Take). These stretches still give me trouble, though.

in my opinion, Grey st. is by far the easiest song. also try trippin billies, crash, two step, and maybe drive in drive out

Here's One...

Just try The Stone....

very simple

:D

[DaveFantasy]

i'm still a newbie to guitar..but typical situation, crash, proudest monkey..were the first ones i started off with..im working on satellite right now. almost there..i just have to start speeding it up.....(u do really start to get sick from the riff...over and over again) but it will be worth the practice in a few days :D

[Rippy]

for me the stone is as hard as shit

[DaveFantasy]

couldn't of said it better myself =)......(hoping they were j/k )

[Haiku Jimi]

EASY DMB SONGS:

Watchtower
Sweet Up and Down
Don't Drink the Water
Big Eyed Fish
Crash
Halloween
Dancing Nancies

I agree with Jimi there. Those are good ones to learn. Everyone else giving this guy crap for asking here, just settle down. Don't read the topic, and it won't hurt you. Give it a shot.

I agree, but you may need to change the fingering.

[bluewater03]

Well he just gets that extra "ding" sound wiht the 12 string. It sounds fine with a 6 tho.

hey, i just got a guitar for christmas too, and ive learned parts or all of these songs so far:

tripping billies, grey street, crash, christmas song, stay, typical situation, proudest monkey, say goodbye (my favorite so far, i love playing this)

[DrkroomCrush]

I have been playing guitar for only a few weeks. I have found "Where Are You Going" and "Christmas Song" to be really simple. Practice makes perfect though. Good luck!
