For Piano beginners I'd have to say Celine Deon - My Heart Will Go On. It must be the most-played movie theme on Piano! I've played different versions (and difficulty) of this song in G2, G3 and G5. I'm sure you guys played this songs before xD

songs for beginners

any songs with major chords....nuff said

any beginner MUST learn this

major chords only? @@
how bout minor chords?

then later go there la...baby steps man..baby steps..

I didnt noe tat.I saw once dat he controlled the violin sound tru a gadget. But who knows all the effects gadgets can produce these days...

If i able to play 80% of tat, i wld be student no more . Classical is very delicate IMO. Cld u?

isnt that in all key got minor chords, why wouldnt u just pick that minor chord?
it's same, 3 key, minor or major chords only need 3 notes.

its easy for u coz u haf oredi know d chords very well
but for beginners (mostly...) i bet they just know major chords only..
cheers

lol, my point is, even for beginner, they usually learn the key first.
learning key, means major and minor chord also got.

like the most basic key of piano:-
C major key:-

u need to learn C major, A minor, D minor, G major... bla bla blaa...
it sounds different, but major and minor chords both constructed from 3 notes only.
and on C major key, it looks the same. 3 fingers.
just need to shift the positioning.

even on guitar:-
holding major chord not necessarily means easier.
Am chord still easy to hold what.

most of pop rock music also have minor chords.

should learn Hotel California (acoustic live version)....the first song i learned....learned the solo and the chords......it'll take hard work and dedication but its all worth it......if u can nail that song at beginner level,u can nail any song after that.....for me at least....

Wei, where got so easy wanna find song all in major key only? How to resolve? The easiest songs use the simplest progressions which almost always uses M & m chords.

ade lol....
sliver - nirvana

i used to play dat song when i was really3 dumb on guitar...

dont believe u better play it urself...

oh, and 'i will survive' by cake also play all major chords...

Any nice songs for violin? Just wondering.

I heart this thread so much~ =)

For gui*ar: The EADGBE tune song

For bass: The EADG tune song

For piano: The middle C song (counting 1 2 3 4 on whole notes, half notes and quarter notes)

If you haven't even passed this, something is deeply wrong with you.


As for real songs, you must be able to play Pearl Jam's cover of Last Kiss on gui*ar. As for bass, I'd say Otherside by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

lol..actually all song hv key..n u cant play all major chord theoritaclly in the entire song..but u can when u hv the creativity n the vocal part able to handle the chord..yes, kurt cobain did..

but to a beginner i guess minor chord is essential dude..minor + major..


btw, cake song actually in Am key..

ye ke?
but i play the M key. hahahhahaha.....

but thinking it back, it depends on how u play it rite?

mmm..im not that expert to clarify this..but my teacher did told me that sumtime in a song..we can pinjam2 chord yg xde dlm list key 2..

but, bout the major chord song..i dunno..coz even a song play with only two chord..yet it one major one minor (Lydian mode)

Guitarist

pro - Born Under A Bad Sign, Lover Man by jimi hendrix

beginner - Drive,11am by incubus

can anyone suggest some easy newbie songs from any of the following bands? thanks!!

foo fighters
audioslave
incubus
nirvana
metallica
alter bridge
soundgarden
SOAD

or any simple solo's would be nice. thanks again

Is it for guitar only, or for all instruments? I only know Audioslave well though.

Audioslave:
Be Yourself
I Am the Highway
Like a Stone (you'll need a whammy pedal for the solo)
Light My Way (drop D tuning)
The Last Remaining Light

Their riffy songs like Cochise, Show Me How to Live and Set It Off require some speed, but they're actually quite easy.

Foo Fighters:
Learn to Fly

Soundgarden:
Black Hole Sun (drop D tuning; I think it's easy)

Nirvana:
Smells Like Teen Spirit (the obvious one)
