Looking for some easy to learn songs, the more, the better (lemmy.world)

Hey folks!

Can you please give me some songs that would take an intermediate player to learn in one or two days? And I mean the whole guitar part.

A good example would be Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop, a counter example would be Metallica's Fade to Black, where the whole song is quite easy, but the solo can take some time.

Without a genre or tempo or style that's a pretty wide selection to choose from. Even taking an arbitrary limit like songs with 'big' in the title gets you a bunch of options: Big rock candy mountain, big iron, the big country, big river, big bang (bass), big shot, big train, big gun. Big love is a little more advanced, but big me is pretty simple. Look at the table of contents in a first 50 or first 100 songs to learn style book for more good choices.

I would mostly just be careful about classical/jazz/bluegrass/metal picks because of the long arpeggios or complex chord shapes. Pop, Rock, r&b, blues, folk are all usually safer picks for a quicker study.
