Simple guitar songs for beginning musician


I am a little better than a beginning guitar player. I would like suggestions for artists who use mostly simple guitar chords along with voice accompaniament. Songs and or artists who specialize in this genre would be appreciated. My idea is to improve my playing by playing and singing along. I hope this does not sound ridiculous.

What genre of music do you like?
There are also a lot of other things you can do to accelerate the learning process. Finding a good teacher (easier said than done) and learning how to practice are your best bet. Try to seperate the elements. One of the most important is rythmn, make sure you practice rythmn with a metranome by clapping along to written patterns, this is very easy to learn...getting good takes a little practice, even if your fumbling (a little) with your chords if you can maintain your rythmn (pattern) your friends (audience/yourself) will still enjoy it.

If you learn how and what to practice you can shave years off the learning process.


Piezo, I'm happy to see you so enthusiastic to share/go past the simplicity of the basic building blocks of western music, triads (3 note chords), and for taking the time to do so but in my experience as a teacher it is very easy to overwhelm a begginer who is just struggling to make basic chord changes and sadly when presented with basics that way you have here you will see many beginners just scratch thier heads and put their guitars in the too hard basket rather than be excited by how simple it can really be. Mknowles16 is right in that there is no sustitute for practice...you dont get nothing for free.

I see too many people go the long way around, the shortest line between a and b is with the proper help.
