Just a piece of friendly advice....
If possible don't waste ur time...Play something that
can hook ur soul with ur guitar mate.....Check this out mate..Maybe this could lead you with some inspiration? Even a 9yrs old kid can play very well indeed...

what about trying acoustic songs?

like richard marx (now and forever or right here waiting)..

i thing that the songs are quite good for beginners..

 

[159]

Stairway to Heaven is good to start off with..

Layla acoustic version will be good for alternate picking

Foxy Lady intro will improve your slide technique

Tears in Heaven for finger plucking technique(NEVER use this as your first finger plucking song. NEVER. Start with Stairway to Heaven maybe)

There ya go

 

[theliverevolution]

My choice will be:

Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Jamie All Over by Mayday Parade
Adelaide by Anberlin
You're Not Alone by Saosin
All We Know by Paramore
Amaranth by Nightwish

oh ya. Drop D

But apart from it being Drop D its a simple song. mostly bar chords all the way wat. Boost the Gain, crank the volume up, got it
