Looking for some easy to learn songs, the more, the better (lemmy.world)

Hey folks!

Can you please give me some songs that would take an intermediate player to learn in one or two days? And I mean the whole guitar part.

A good example would be Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop, a counter example would be Metallica's Fade to Black, where the whole song is quite easy, but the solo can take some time.

Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here is pretty easy all around and fun to play. You get to do some picking out notes and some strumming. The one caveat is that there's an intro solo that, while easy, is supposed to be a second guitar.

Seconding Pink Floyd, in part because David’s lead parts are catchy, melodic, not difficult to learn, and they’re a great way to learn melodic phrasing.

I came here to suggest R.E.M. as well. Great jangly rhythm guitar parts, interesting chord voicings, and also easy melodic leads for an intermediate player to learn.
