Nate2112 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Maybe Tom sawyer....idk Tell me, now what songs would be easiest to play via ze guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invisible To Telescopic Eye Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) The Camera Eye...Seriously...Check this out. The song might be long but it's the same few chords over and over again with slight variations in picking...I truly believe this could be the easiest song except for it's length.

danielmclark Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Go back to some of the early stuff for some easier tunes. I'm a terrible guitar player but I can muddle through Bastille Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stdio Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 New World Man is pretty easy, and no solo TS would fall in the middle of the list maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perchance to Dream Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Give In the End a shot. My grandma could probably play that (except for the solo) and she's dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Tom Sawyer is not that easy. The dum dum du dum part is obviously easy but the rest of the song is at least medium difficulty and the solo is a bit challenging due to some of the unusual licks. Closer to the Heart is probably the easiest, even the solo is very melodic and not that fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 O Baterista or Der Trommler...even I can play the guitar parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliFan Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The easiest song is clearly Tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheY2k Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 2112 overture! The solo is the only thing difficult. The only thing that rivels that in easyness is Far Cry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sco703 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Well it's definitely not The Spirit of Radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 QUOTE (ChiliFan @ Sep 6 2011, 11:36 PM) The easiest song is clearly Tears. That was one of the first ones I could play all the way through. I've just picked the guitar up again last fall after a 30 year gap. There are many songs I can play bits of - anything from just a lick to most of it. But the ones I can play all the way through number about half a dozen. And if I can play them, they must be easy: Closer To The Heart Resist (acoustic) Bravado Faithless How It Is Tears I'm going to try some of the other ones thath have been suggested, now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliFan Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thought of a couple more, perhaps not for complete beginners but certainly some of Rush's more simple songs: The Pass Vital Signs Subdivisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babycat Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 QUOTE (sco703 @ Sep 7 2011, 08:12 AM) Well it's definitely not The Spirit of Radio Or La Villa Strangiato..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlaaps Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Something for Nothing is an easy one. Am G D E. The melody at the beginning of the tune is based around these chords too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psionic11 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 These are what I can play on my acoustic. I'm mostly a bass player and keyboardist, so I don't do guitar solos. I do like playing without a pick, so there's a lot of songs below with finger work, so don't know if that makes it easier or harder for you. Can you read music? Or tab? Or do you go by ear alone? These songs I consider "easy to intermediate". They aren't hard technically, you just need lots of memorization of Lerxst chords and riffs. A lot of these are singable too, which makes if perfect for solo acoustic guitar. Years of enjoyment! Guaranteed, or your money back! Broon's Bane The Trees Xanadu Jacob's Ladder Discovery Oracle: The Dream Soliloquy* Heart and Mind (easy!)* Cygnus: Bringer of Balance The Sphere* Closer to the Heart Different Strings (current favorite) Freewill (minus solo, of course) Tide Pool/HyperSpace* (surprise!) Later on, you might surprise yourself by learning YYZ, Red Barchetta, and even La Villa Strangiato. Simpler versions of The Spirit of Radio, A Passage to Bangkok, and New World Man are fun. I better stop now, before I mention High Water, Chain Lightning, Dreamline, and Cut to the Chase... * easiest songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I surprised myself when I learned to play most of La Villa. The tabs are what did it for me. The day I played the harmonics at the beginning of Red Barchetta was another moment for me. I can also do most of High Water and Prime Mover. But you do learn that hitting the notes and playing them are not necessarily the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I teach guitar lessons and a few months ago one of my students came in and wanted to learn Working Man. Other than the solo, it is pretty straightforward and slow enough to master pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rendclaw Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Believe it or not, Circumstances is a very easy song, its just a freight train that if you mess up on, its very obvious. The hardest part about it is playing the melody before the chorus. When you get it right and are on time with it, its a good feeling but you have no time to celebrate it because the chorus comes barreling in and you need to get that right. Subdivisions is not that hard either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudbuytjane Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 QUOTE (Perchance to Dream @ Sep 6 2011, 06:11 PM)Give In the End a shot. My grandma could probably play that (except for the solo) and she's dead. Another vote for "In The End." Lots of power chords that are easy to play but sound really powerful. I prefer the 'All The World's A Stage' arrangement, which doesn't have the key change the studio version does (if I'm remembering correctly). Hmmn, and the solo isn't that hard, as far as Alex solos go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
