4 Easy To Learn Guitar Songs

The following list shows you 4 easy to learn guitar songs that anyone may play within 7 days with the right tuition. If you want to learn guitar songs that everybody knows, these choices are a good place to start.

1. Space Oddity-David Bowie

Bowie wrote this song after seeing the 1968 Stanley Kubrick picture, 2001: A Space Odyssey. “Space Oddity” is a play on “Space Odyssey.”

This tells the adventure of Major Tom, an astronaut who cuts off communication with earth and floats into space. Major Tom is not based on a bona fide guy.

This was originally released in 1969 on Bowie’s self-titled album. It was purchasable only in the UK and timed to coincide with the moon landing. In 1972, the album was re-titled Space Oddity and released in the US for the first time.

2. Father & Son-Cat Stevens

This is about a Russian household where the son wants to team up with the revolution but his father wants him to remain home and work on the farm. Stevens made up the story.

The dialogue between father and son hints at Stevens’ lonely youth. The number contains a lyrical trick of verse and chorus sung by different people with contrasting perspectives on the situation.

This was a hit in Europe for the Irish group Boyzone in 1995. Stevens, currently known as Yusuf Islam, was delighted that the wholesome group had success with it. This was distributed as the B-side of Steven’s hit “Moonshadow.”

3. Always on my mind-Willie Nelson

This was penned by the songwriting trio of Johnny Christopher, Mark James and Wayne Carson Thompson. It was first recorded by Brenda Lee in 1971.

This tune tells the story of a guy who admits that he didn’t always engage in the things he should have to show high regard for his lady, though wants her to know he was always thinking about her.

The Country Music Association selected this, Single Of The Year in 1982.

Elvis Presley recorded this in 1972. His adaptation reached number 9 in the UK. A cover version by The Pet Shop Boys made UK #1 in December 1987. They had issued it after playing it on a BBC Elvis tribute show.

4. Black Magic Woman-Peter Green

This was a hit for Santana, but seldom people appreciate that this number is actually a cover of a 1968 Fleetwood Mac song that hit UK #37. Peter Green, who was a founding member of Fleetwood Mac, wrote the lyrics. The original’s music sounds very similar to the sound Santana added on his version.

The original version is based on a Blues song Peter Green wrote for Fleetwood Mac’s inaugural UK album called “I Loved Another Woman.”
