Easy songs to play for guitar?

Iron man

Pretty much any Nirvana songs

"My teacher specializes in Jazz but i want to learn songs outside of Jazz while still learning Jazz from my teacher"

just curious why stick to that teacher? unless jazz is what you want to learn, but if hes not teaching you what you want move on and found a new one.

Also have you learned your basic power chord , the root and the 5th?

you move that bad boy anywhere around the neck and make songs yourself

Ex.

EADGBE

1 3 3XXX Thats an F power chord in standard tuning, and the extra 3 is another F which is an octave

you can play it like this

Ex.

EADGBE

13 XXXX same deal but it dosnt sound "as full" its what ever you like really, and its still a power chord because you have The root note F and the 5th of it, which is C

Iam sure a Jazz teacher will teach you some theroy

Good luck man, keep pluckin

You should try some Oasis songs. The chords are not that hard and the songs don't really have a lot of them. The Beatles are also nice to learn. Those two are kind of the same style, Flogging Molly is another great band, and Neutral Milk Hotel have some easy songs.

Try looking in ultimate-guitar.com they have a lot of tabs for you to look at and most are pretty accurate.

Easy to Intermediate tunes in my bag o' tricks that work well with acoustic (but not necessarily recent) are:

Give A Little Bit by Supertramp

June by Spocks Beard

Long Away by Queen

No Excuses by Alice In Chains

just to name a few

This would probably be hard to play on acoustic guitar but I had a friend who played bass and he said "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes wasn't that hard to learn.

Not sure of too many recent ones that are easy. Green day - good riddance is a pretty easy acoustic. More than a feeling by boston is fun. Check out ultimate-guitar.com

My friend is learning, and he's learning alot of beatles songs. I recommend Come Together and Black Bird, as they're not that hard.

self-esteem - offspring, jane says - jane's addiction, dammit - blink 182, two of us - the beatles, the house of the rising sun - the animals, back in black - acdc, when i come around - green day, immigrant song - led zeppelin, blister in the sun - violent femmes, wish you were here - pink floyd, breaking the girl - red hot chili peppers, bomb track - rage against the machine

Smoke On the water - deep purple

iron man- black sabbath (ozzy)

no rain- blind melon

ball and chain- socail distortion

i know its kinda stupid, but jonas brothers songs are pretty easy to play, like "please be mine."

& "six feet under the stars" by all time low has a really easy intro.

GOOD LUCK!
