Bad Moon Rising (CCR), 1st song I learned. G D C. Something that I could never do was use my right hand. I learned chords, Bar chords, hammer ons, pull offs and so on, but my right hand just never got the rhythm. I believe the right hand is the soul of guitar playing. I even taught myself different styles of finger picking. I would play till I wrote my own guitar pieces. they sounded good but missed the soul that comes from the right hand. My right hand was/is like an old wind up toy with a stretched spring. I mention this because I realized that on Bad moon Rising. You can play many songs with the same 3 chords. practice your right hand. Left hand is body, right hand is soul. If you can get these 2 into 1, you can make music with one chord.
1st 2 songs I learned to play on guitar were "House of the Rising Son" and "Cant You See" . Very easy chords and those 2 songs broke me through the practice wall. Once I could play them, learning new songs became very easy no matter what chords are involved.
your awsome. everythng you do is a joy to watch. as someone who has recently fallen in love with guitar, i can say, you are the number 1 source of my inspiration to get better. thank you for your list. thank you for sharing your passion.
You're a wonderful presenter. I love the fact that you provide QUALITY content. Contents that actually help me (and I'm sure others ) get better at playing the guitar. You inspire me to pick up and play the guitar more often. Its interesting that 5 of the 15 songs in your list are songs that I love to listen and decided to learn to play, namely Stand by me, knocking on heavens door, heart of Gold, let it be and and who'll stop the rain. THANK YOU for your incredible work.
This video had that good old fashioned infomercial feel. I could not look away, I kept waiting to see the name of the CD and where to send my 5 easy installments of 19.99. thanks for being you brother!
great for beginners just learning to play . but as an accomplished guitarist for many years it was just fun for me to watch . nice to see someone take there time to show how to strum some easy stuff that sounds good . great job !
20 years ago i could play dozents of songs on the guitar. Than i took a long brake of playing. A year ago o bought a used guitar and started again. There is only one song left i can play. It ist "on a wagon bound to market" known by Donovan and Joan Baez.
Keep plugging away, you will pick it back up easily. It all comes back to you eventually. I have been playing for over 30 years and I forgot so many songs that I used to play. It's fun trying to remember em all and give it a go again.
I've already said how much I like your channel. This time I have some possible suggestions. Background: I don't play any instrument ("what am I doing watching this???"), but, otherwise, I am a music-loving nerd. I often forward your videos to a musician friend who also teaches music for a living and, after watching this video, he said three things: 1) he is amazed that your top three suggestions are the same he uses to teach students in our far away Argentina (!), 2) he thonks Wonderwall gets far more complicated after the initial chords you show, and 3) he also uses Tulsa Time and Chuck Berry´s You Never Can Tell. Thanks for your videos and keep making them!!!!
I really appreciate these compilations of acoustic songs :). I love Bob Dylan's early acoustic songs which were generally based on few chords. (It ain't me babe, Love minus zero, Mr Tambourine man...)
Like your content..some additional easy but great songs..last kiss..all along the watch tower..ball & chain social distortion..save a little room in your heart for me Eddie money..peaceful easy feeling
"Learning to Fly" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, with basic chords like F, C, G, and (optional) sounding really cool with use of the high E string on all of them.
one easy song that comes to mind is Bob Seger-Youll accompany me. E (might be Em) and A,with a D added in the chorus. The beatles - All you need is love is another.
Thanks for the song that are easy to play. I will take my guitar off the wall and try some of them. Elenor rigby can be played with only to chords C and Em.
That's a great list, I thought about putting Peggy Sue on the list, the chords are easy, but the strumming is not that easy unfortunately, great song though!
I am a beginner.. and if I have to sing songs that are out of my skills.. I just use my phone that is packed with acoustic instrumental.. 😁 I just give my best in singing.. power vocals is the key if you are not good with instruments.
"Hey Joe" by Jimi Hendrix was the first rock song I learned on guitar in 1968. I friend at school showed it to me and it had all the chords I knew: CAGED I'm still playing 51 years later. Mostly classical guitar, though.
I have been playing for over 4 1/2 yrs & still can't change chords fast enough to play any of those songs! Guess that I started to late in life plus wasn't born with the talent to begin with. I still have fun with the guitar that I made from scratch though! BTW, "Horse With No Name" has 4 chords not just 2. Anyway, great video as always............ :)
@@bombercountyblues Sure! Neck-Mahogany; Fretboard-Ebony; Back & Sides-Walnut; Soundboard (Top): Sitka Spruce (Torrefied Tonewood). Took me about 7 months from start to finish! Also have made Electric & Bass guitars, which are a piece of cake compared to making an Acoustic! Have been told by people that know how to play that the guitar sounds & plays great. However, for some reason, it doesn't sound that good when I play it! Wonder why?
Ha.. that does sound sweet man, real sweet but it was actually a rhetorical question in reference to your name.. I use sapele for all my c.b.g necks and bridges.
@@sapelesteve yeah, when you get some linseed oil on there that golden grain just pops doesn't it ! Tell you what though mate, looking back through the woods you just listed, that acoustic certainly doesn't sound cheap.
I appreciate the attempt. Most of us are coming to your video to actually learn your list of easy songs. You're simply playing them. We can narb on the videos of the originals to deconstruct them. We are not trying to do that. Lazy people want to be shown. We'd really appreciate 15 separate videos, good for you, to show us the shapes and strums. My fave in the list is Credence (CCR), of course. I'm an old guy trying to learn new tricks.
When you said "little and ring finger don't move" I thought you were going into Wish You Were Here. It's surprisingly simple once you see how it's played. At least the rhythm part, haven't tried the lead yet lol. (I also just realized I have never written the word rhythm before. Had to look up the spelling even though I've seen it a million times)
5:42 Woaaw dude I remembered good old Gta San Andreas days 😄 In the desert, you can remember your name, cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la laaa la la la la laa la la la laa laaa 😁
Once I was heading into this I didn’t know you would put in the boss I love him so much thank you for putting this in there I will definitely play this thank you so much for your help keep it up bro
Perfect songs for sitting around the fire pit and singing with anyone with enough liquid courage in them to join in. The memories the next day will become legend. Thanks Pilgrim!

Me I learnt guitar with Wish You Were Here - Pink Ployd. Of course that is not the fastest / easiest way to learn guitar but it's very fun to play I think
Clint Black Killin time and Beatles let it be or if we're throwing power chords in Nirvana Polly and Bush Glycerin, oh and Sublime What I got is a easy one 2 chords and the solo part is easy enough to
Dear Guitar Pilgrim: can you please make a video about how tho handle the fingernails at the left hand? How short should the nails be at the left hand? How long can they be at the left hand? Best regards from Germany - Eduard
Clip your finger nails on your left hand short. You don't need them to play guitar and you probably pick your nose with your right hand. When you press the strings with your left hand, you want the fleshy part of the finger tip to press down, in many cases at a right angle so you're not buzzing or muting the next string. If you have fingernails on your left hand you may not be able to properly press down the strings.On your right hand you'll want fingernails for picking; guitars and your nose. verstehst du?

I teach America’s ‘Horse with no name’ and it actually has 4 chords ... (2 for open verse) and 2 for the Chorus. But very easy to learn and play.
your awsome. everythng you do is a joy to watch. as someone who has recently fallen in love with guitar, i can say, you are the number 1 source of my inspiration to get better. thank you for your list. thank you for sharing your passion.
This actually helped, I’m not good remembering chords so I saw his fingers and strumming and I can follow along, thanks bro
I second that. I play the sane way :) makes it so much easier when its clearly shown 👍

‘Heart of Gold’ is the first song I ever learned to play, when I started many years ago.

Easy songs are the best, Thanks Thom.

One chord song: Coconut by Harry Nilsson
