What easy intro songs for electric guitar?

[BlackKunji]

I want to learn electric guitar but the tabs on the internet are too hard. Can someone tell me what are some easy intro songs? Thanks

 

[AEnimic]

Come as you are - Nirvana has a cool intro yet easy to play
alot of Blink 182 songs is cool to learn though,I don't know any..but I heard from my friends that they are easy to learn.

 

[HarrisonYeo]

fade to black intro pretty easy

 

[BlackKunji]

But what do tabs mean when the Key:G ?

 

[markedymark]

means,well, the its in the key of G, or rather, the G family of chords/notes.

 

[BlackKunji]

that means the tuning is G? How to tune the guitar to Key G? Sorry for such a stupid question. Just started learning electric guitar

 

[incara]

no need to tune to G, just play the chords/notes in the KEY of G etc etc.

imho if you're just starting, do some chording first. get your strumming right before doing anything. at least that's what i did.

 

[BlackKunji]

Actually I played acoustic guitar before. So now I don't want to learn strumming again. What do you mean by chords in the Key of G?

 

[Gr3y]

dude, juz learn happy birthday 1st.. i feel you are doing a big jump as you dun even understand the meaning of key of G..

do happy birthday in the below ways:
-try many different keys to play that song
-try to sub jazz chords like 7ths 13ths n such in..
-do in many different strumming pattern
-learn to pick the melody out in all different kinda picking method
-change the whole progression to minorish
-understand how a major n minor chord, how they work

there are just way damn many ways you can learn from a simple song like this.but unless you just wanna have fun learning songs from tabs.

Key of G

means

G A B C D E F G

you start to play the song with G chord,

like happy birthday

you play G D D G G C G D
something like this i forget happy birthday chords. haha

you can explore using this set of chords G A B C D E F G

Key of C is

C D E F G A B C

something like this..i think so lah..i also not sure..correct me somebody?

haha..i didn't take up lesson.. i read forum and try to figure it myself lah..

coz their theory quite confusing..

best get yourself a teacher.

 

[empihsrow]

You've got some parts of the theory right...

Playing in the key of G[If you learn vocal theory]-it means that your doh is the note G.

The whole song is played with an emphasis in the sequence GABCDEFG with the first G being the low doh and the last G being the high doh.

Now, this should be simple to understand...

 

[markedymark]

dude, if you've played acoustic before, the ground should be there. but you shouldnt ever be too lazy to pick it up again, it helps going back before moving forth

 

[bigbaddaboom]

key G means the doh is G......

or u could bang the guitar and say "DO'OH"

 

[Gr3y]

i wonder where have the f# gone..

 

[BlackKunji]

I still don't really understand. Never mind, I will ask my teacher. Thanks

 

[BadgerS88]

what genre does this guy wanna play?

 

[BlackKunji]

I'm not really very sure. Just look around in ultimateguitar.com for those easy tabs then play. But I wish to play songs by Guns N Roses but it is to fast for me

 

[bigbaddaboom]

take californication from the RHCP.....easy song......easy lead as well....

 

[TequilaSunrise]

Try playing Knocking on Heaven's Doors by Guns & Roses since you're interested in them - It's a very simple G D C progression that repeats throughout the song (or G Am C -> G D C if you want to be exact)

 

[deathism]

i got a fren..he started out playing guitar with chord strumming..

his first song was hotel california..took him 2 weeks to be able to strum it right.


i dunno if 2 weeks is too long or not..but nevertheless..he benefits in the end.
