This will sound pretty corny at first, but read on and give it a try.  You will see how popular easy guitar songs can be a lot of fun for a beginning guitar player.

I recently went to a friend’s birthday party.  During the course of the evening, one of my friends brought out her guitar and announced that she was going to play a song in honor of the guy having the birthday.  She started playing and we all recognized the tune instantly.  But the funny thing was that she had written her own replacement lyrics including the chorus verse and they were all jokes things going on in the guest of honor’s life.

I think we all rolled our eyes at first, but then the fun started.  A couple girls stood up and joined my friend with the guitar.  Soon others joined them.  They read over her shoulder and sang along.  When it came time again to sing the chorus, the whole room joined in.  It turned in to a really fun evening, one that the guest of honor won’t soon forget.

You can try this out even if you are an absolute beginning guitar player.  All you have to do is learn a few chords.  If you write your own silly lyrics it makes learning a lot more fun.  It also takes the pressure off.  You can stop comparing yourself to the original artist and simply start having fun with the music.

Rewriting older tunes is a time honored tradition in folk and popular music.  Even the U.S. national anthem is a rewrite of an old drinking song.  Most rock and blues tunes follow similar patterns and chord progressions.  Spend some time learning the chords for older popular easy guitar songs and you might find you can also play along with many other songs as well.
