"Basic Guitar tunes???"

Ok, I know there are plenty people on here who play the guitar.

Any chance some could take the time to give me the name of fairly basic guitar tunes. I am still learning the basics etc and wouldn't mind some easy songs to play and to practice with.

thanks

The Strokes

The intro to Just A Day by Feeder is pretty easy to play, sounds cool as well.

Most White Stripes stuff is quite easy to play as well. Wonderwall is a good song to practice on, and Live Forever, both use basic chords.

Nirvana is easy but great. See In Bloom, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Lithium, Breed (great song), and Heart Shaped Box.

an impressive one to do quickly and real easy:

Slipknot riff.

damn GAD system, I was gonna write you loads more but their stupid system has put me off. Just buy Tab boos or go to www.mxtabs.net Thats the best site ever for tabs.

I made the mistake of going for power chords over proper chords when I first started out as it seemed alot easier. As you are just learning ALiboy you are probably trying to teach yourselfs chords, its the best way so stick at it.

I would name some songs to play using just the easier chords (C, E etc etc) but I'm in a rush so sorry.
