If you’re just beginning to learn the guitar or looking for ideas for kids guitar lessons, you’ll know that it’s not always easy to work out what’s best. Between tabs and chords and varying confidence levels, it would be nice to have some basic guitar songs to learn. Luckily for you, we have compiled just such a list below. The songs will be split into tabs and chords so you can choose whichever you need more practice on. Let’s get started then.
The best tab songs to learn:
- Mary Had a Little Lamb. This song is not just for guitar lessons for kids, it’s a great starter song for everyone because most people know the tune and the notes are all on a single string.
- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Again, not just for kids. This is a slightly harder song because the notes are more spread out, but still great for beginners.
- Seven Nation Army. This one is harder to play because it’s a bit faster and has trickier timing, but don’t let that put you off. Practice makes perfect after all!
The best chord songs to learn:
- House Of The Rising Sun. A song involving four main chords, three of which are beginning chords. The F chord is also featured, making this a great choice of song for guitar lessons for beginners who are slightly more confident.
- Free Fallin. Another great beginner song, just slightly quicker than the first one.
- Wish You Were Here. The introduction to this song forms the main part. There are only a few chords here but it gives you an opportunity to practise your riffs in the beginning.
There you have six of the best songs for beginner guitarists to learn. If these are too easy or a little too challenging at this stage, consider finding a professional to give you more nuanced recommendations and advice.
