1. Knocking on Heavens Door– Bob Dylan
This song just had to be on top of our list of easiest famous songs to play on guitar. We know we might be a little obnoxious putting it on almost our entire list, but it is that easy. Even the biographer of Bob Dylan described it as “an exercise in splendid simplicity”. Although you might get the impression that Bob Dylan wasn’t much of guitar player, the fact was that he just pays more attention to the lyrics than the accompanying music. If you really like the song, once you perfect the craft of playing the guitar, you should revisit it, but the way Guns N’ Roses play it.
