Easy Songs to Play On Guitar

(Scroll down to see the full list of lessons in this section)

Learning how to play songs on the guitar is one of the biggest motivation and enjoyment of picking up the instrument. With proper video guitar lessons, you will have the immediate opportunity to start playing the guitar and your favourite guitar songs.

While learning to play songs on the guitar, one can learn guitar techniques, different guitar chords and strumming rhythms at the same time.

When I first started to play guitar, my main motivation was to play the guitar like Joe Satriani. Needless to say, I didn't had any success learning his songs. The experience is like trying to drive an F1 car without even having a car license. However, everybody has to start somewhere. Learning easier songs to play on guitar such as Oasis, Howie Day and other 4 chord songs made the experience extremely fun and enjoyable.

Back in those days, the best help that I've got were tab books and guitar pro tabs which were available online. Other forms of learning how to play songs on guitar were through a private teacher or other paid avenues. Today, you can easily find 10's to 100's of free guitar lessons on video hosting sites with people sharing their knowledge on playing a particular song.

While video sites such as Youtube is a great tool for learning guitar, a word of caution you should take note is that there are sometimes low quality video guitar lessons and unqualified teachers on Youtube, Google Videos. Not only will such instructions frustrate or sometimes teach the wrong stuff. This can actually hamper your progress to play guitar as you may pick up bad habits that may be hard to change later.

In this section, we include some of the guitar song learning videos from sites such as Jamplay. These are a series of step by step video guitar lessons that will show you tutorials to easy songs which you can pick up instantly. What we love about Jamplay is also the fact that they cover harder songs as well and make the learning process easy by breaking down more difficult songs into manageable parts.
