Dust in the Wind - Kansas
More than a Feeling - Boston
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

These are a few of the first ones I learned, I tried to pick some that are generally recognizable.

Some good easy songs there. I think the first song I learned on guitar was crazy train. It sounded like shit for a long time.

Metallica
Tool
Nirvana

these bands all have lots of easy songs I learned a lot of them when I first started guitar.

fail.. dont ever tell a beginning guitar player to play metallica.
strongly suggest the nirvana though.
easiest garbage you could play. learn 4 chords and ul already be better then kurt kobain

dude.. metallica has a ton of easy songs

For Whom the Bell Tolls
Enter Sandman
My Friend of Misery
Nothing Else Matters
One
Fade to black

etc etc.... only parts that are kinda hard are the solos

Yeah.
The stuff metallica rights may sound cool, but it is VERY easy to play

definately house of the rising sun, its a song every one has heard, it teaches some chords plus it just sounds awesome

Nirvana is easy and it is garbage I agree. The only beef I have with your post is the fact that you should
never tell a beginner to play Metallica. The first song I learned was Nothing Else Matter's. The best way
to better your playing abilities is to learn harder material. I've met people who have been playing seriously
for 4 year's yet can't even play the simple finger picking in Nothing Else Matter's. The more difficult the better
with beginner's, it will show how committed you are to the instrument you've chosen. But if your not serious at
all then yeah I agree play Nirvana.
