Easy Guitar Songs
When learning guitar, a very common problem for most beginners is not knowing where to start from. Every guitar player has been through something like this in the beginning of his career, so don’t get discouraged if you’re feeling the same way. The answer you are looking for is very simple and it is called easy guitar songs.
Easy guitar songs play a key role when learning guitar. Not only they give you a steady foundation of music knowledge to build on, but they also help you build a serious repertoire, which you’ll see will be of great use to you when you make your first steps playing in a band.
Easy guitar songs are also a great way to complement your daily guitar exercises. While exercises help your both hands to get used to the instrument, playing songs puts your guitar skills on a test into a whole new situation, challenging you in a way that you will never experience while exercising.
As your repertoire grows, your technique will improve as well and you’ll start seeing a notable difference in what you can do with your guitar, reaching a point when all these easy guitar songs don’t seem hard anymore. When this moment comes, don’t just abandon them. This is a mistake that way too many aspiring guitarists make. They jump immediately into attempting advanced techniques and playing songs that require a serious amount of guitar playing experience, neglecting or not being aware of the fact that easy guitar songs make an excellent base for learning guitar improvisation and music theory.
Take an easy song and start jamming over it, while trying to build your own melodic lines and solos. Most probably your first attempts won’t be very successful, you won’t know which notes to play, which positions to press or where to place your left hand in general. That’s very good! These are the first steps in learning guitar improvisation.
Guitar improvisation and music theory are connected. Said simple, music theory is what will teach you which are the right frets to press and why. Don’t get scared, you don’t need to be a music theory expert, neither you need to have a degree in this field. All you need is the desire to learn, the passion to play the guitar and your favorite guitar songs to support the learning process.
Once again, take any easy guitar song, but before starting to jam over it, analyze its harmony – what are the chords used throughout the song? Knowing the chords, try to figure out what key is the song in. Knowing the key, see the scales you can use in this key. Take the minor pentatonic scale for example and locate the right fingering for the current key. Now start jamming over that easy guitar song you chose, trying to build your own melodies and you will hear the difference.
As a conclusion, learning easy guitar songs is an important aspect of your development as a guitarist. They help you improve your skills, broaden your horizons and grow as a guitar player.
