Strumming some of the common chords on your guitar? In recent history some of the greatest songwriters have created their entire careers by transitioning between the same three chords, G C and D.

Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan only learned a few simple chords but managed to reach great heights of success. You may know the Beatles song ‘Love, Love Me Do’, this is comprised of a simple three chord arrangement. Simply learn the 7th chords of A E and B and you too are ready to play it.

Most of the best online guitar lessons will have easy guitar song lessons included in them.

If you have recently started learning how to play the guitar learning a simple song is the best way to increase your confidence and feel you are making headway. The song “A Horse With No Name” is an time-honored favorite for new guitarists because it is said to be the absolute easiest song to play.

It is nothing more that a mere two chord arrangement of E minor and a slightly different variation of D. There are four beats per measure (known as 4/4 time) with only one chord change after every measure.

You will hold down two strings within the 2nd fret, the E minor is your fingers on the 4th and 5th strings, the D will have your fingers on the 6th and 3rd strings.

All you do now is strum the guitar, switch to the other chord on the 4rth beat, and repeat.  Now, you’re playing a classic that tipped the charts for the band “America”!

This is not the only song which is easy to learn. “Lay Lady Lay,” written and performed by Bob Dylan, is easy to learn quickly.

‘Comfortably Numb’ is a simple song to learn as well, by Pink Floyd, it is only five easy chords.

‘Seven Nation Army’ is another great song to learn easily, by the White Stripes. Simply knowing how to play the main chords (CAGED) means you are ready to learn some simple songs.

A great song to learn relatively easily is ‘Hey There Delilah’, the huge hit by Plain White T’s.
