Can anyone send me songs to play on guitar? I need to like actually read it, and I can't do any chords yet (I'm literally just starting). I can play Ode To Joy lol, it's like only 20 notes long...Ohwell. I'm getting tired of playing it though and my book jumps straight into chords and I don't know what to search for....
HALP!

I read....
I think both O.O
I "learned" from a friend of mine who'd been playing for years and years and one day me and him were smoking a joint when he brought up the fact that I'd never played guitar. He grabbed a couple acoustics he had sitting around and asked me what song I'd most want to play. I thought about it for a while and picked Ohio by Neil Young. He thought about it for a bit, then started playing it and I just watched him and tried to emulate it on my guitar. He said I had the best left (fret?? I don't know) hand of any new guitar player he'd seen having played the guitar for a total of three minutes right there. I didn't have the greatest strumming/picking though.
But yeah, I just picked a song that I really liked and because of that it was easy for me to want to practice and play more. I picked that up and then got a couple other songs from him just from watching him play them and giving me some basics and tips. I don't know the notes I'm hitting (well I kind of do by sound, but you know...) and I can't read tabs. I know no terminology. But I can play it.
TL/DR: Just think of songs you like and have good sounding guitar in them, then go google thems shits.
2) www.ultimate-guitar.com
3) Search song and search for guitar pro tabs
it has both notes, and guitar number tablature. :cool:
I'm going to try this out but it kind of mindfucked me, maybe I have to search alittle more.

Be sure to learn your chords and scales. Look around more on that site, they have a lot of good info.
Once you learn all of that start learning more of the technical stuff such as harmonics and what not and just keep practicing.
And I use my fingers, picks sound weird to me.
