Good beginner songs for electric guitar

[YSR]

Cuz, alot of noobs butcher those songs like everyday and the shop owners are probably sick of hearing it. Oso, u dun wanna embarass urself rite?

Few guidelines when visiting guitar shops:

try not to act like a noob cuz if u act all pro and stuff, usually the sales ppl will treat u nicer

dun anyhow touch stuff without asking

dun play too loud if other ppl are testing stuff oso

dun listen to the sales ppl without researching the stuff urself

feel free to add on

May you can try the song HOURGLASS by lamb of god....... good for your fingers.....

 

[HandsOfJimi]

i will play my masterpiece then...appregios from hell..not...anyways...thanks man for the tip....now i'll make sure they treat me nicely when i go to their shops!

try blink-182 songs dude...their much easier.most punk songs are..
for my 1st song, i learnt Master Of Puppets-Metallica. minus the last solos. my fren was the one that forced me to learn..haha and i thank him!!

haha oh man same for me here. master of puppets was ( and still is ) my favourite song.
i even play it on my acoustic before i had my electric. hahah. play and play also still cannot get it right.

any song with tabs that does not nid to use chord or hammering all such stuffs thnx

dude, when u start, don't care what the anti-mainstream people say. just PLAY MAINSTREAM SONGS. everyone has got to start somewhere. i started off with my own classical guitar, and the first song i had tried was the calling, wherever you go (was it wherever or whenever?) i am not embarrased about that, because i had to start somewhere. once your basics kick in, that's where u slowly progress upwards and play more difficult songs. for me after that gay song i said before this, i tried Master of Puppets, on the classical guitar. lol that was tough, but i had friends helping me and that makes things alot better. get a few friends who play moderately well to help u out. All the best mate.

Forgot the Songs!

Can try these few:
1. ACDC - Highway to Hell, TNT, Back In Black (some basic hammer-ons and pull-offs)
2. Metallica - Seek and Destroy, Fade To Black, Enter Sandman
3. Blink 182 (lol really it helps your palm muting) - Dammit, All The Small Things and try more of their songs lah, they really helped me Palm mute well and tightly

well it really depends on what u listen to actually.

starlight-muse
The Arrival of Satan´s Empire-Dark Funeral

Nice to see blink-182 as a few starter songs since I'm their fan and I played their song first. But, is there songs where I can practice all my chords? I don't want to stick to playing Power Chord.

 

[billthegeek]

Hysteria by Muse is quite fun and simple to play.

Generally, Power Chords are easy to play, for me this noobie...

Eye of the Tiger...
American Idiot...

Only problem... Wrist cramps...
Is there any way to grip Power Chords, I've tried using my thumb to press the Root Note...

Pardon me for my short fingers...
