Free Fallin' by Tom Petty

Free Fallin' showcases Tom Petty's gift for writing straightforward yet captivating songs. Built around a simple chord progression, the song features a unique blend of major and minor chords, creating an emotionally impactful sound that beginner guitarists can replicate easily. The D-G-A chord progression is an excellent opportunity to practice your chord progressions, and the song's mild pace is perfect for refining your timing and rhythm.

Working Class Hero by John Lennon

John Lennon, renowned for his poignant songwriting and unique guitar style, was a master at making complex emotions accessible through simple melodies and chord structures. In Working Class Hero, he uses only two chords, A minor and G, but imbues them with a melancholic depth that resonates with listeners. This song is perfect for beginners to practice finger-picking techniques and explore the chromaticism in Lennon's writing.

Redemption Song by Bob Marley

Redemption Song is one of Bob Marley's most beloved songs, featuring his distinctive voice and compelling storytelling. The song's acoustic solo offers a great opportunity to explore scales and how they contribute to the song's emotional depth. The solo predominantly uses the G Major scale, making this an excellent practice piece for beginners. It also introduces the concept of slides and hammer-ons, essential techniques in a guitarist's toolbox.

Angie by Rolling Stones

Angie presents a more complex challenge with its arpeggiated chords and fingerstyle technique, offering the chance to delve into arpeggios and the open-string riffs that create the song's distinctive sound. The iconic opening, played by Keith Richards, is an arpeggio passage revolving around an Am chord. This song provides a perfect opportunity to practice these techniques while also enjoying the music.

Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud, with its soulful lyrics and timeless melody, offers beginner guitarists a chance to explore syncopated rhythms and percussive strumming.
