I’ve tried my hand at both electric and acoustic guitar and cannot say that I’m very good at either. I have a tendency to quickly grow tired of things, which definitely showed through instruments as a child. I tried playing the violin, clarinet, drums, and eventually guitar before deciding to take a break from the whole learning a new instrument thing. For each one I, either took lessons or played in the middle school band, so I learned a little, but never really mastered anything. While I don’t have my guitars anymore, I can still remember a few easy guitar songs tabs by heart, to strum. Some of my favorite beginner acoustic guitar songs were (and still are) Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song” and “Blackbird” by The Beatles. As far as easy rock guitar songs go, “Blackbird” is definitely a good one.
