Guitar Players - easy cover songs?

raygun187 · 11-05-2002, 06:54 PM

What are some easy cover songs that would sound good on an acoustic. I'm looking for songs with not too many parts since I tend to screw up songs with lots of changes. Disarm is a good example of what kind of songs I'm looking for, but I know enough pumpkin songs to play a whole set, so give me some non-pumpkin ideas. Hell, if you have some good tablature, that would help too.

White Stripes - Hotel Yorba

3 chords.

Lots of Oasis stuff, if you like them.

I'm just starting to play too, so this is what I've been playing:

a lot of early beatle songs.
and I second Hotel Yorba and Oasis, heh
and Boxcar Racer's (

)"Letters to God" is pretty easy...just Em->G for the verse and Em->C->G->Am for the chorus.
and Coldplay's Green Eyes is good if you can get that Bm chord. I suck at the guitar man.
