Guys

I have been playing for a while now and I have been struggling with trying to find a list of cool songs I can stick with and learn. I seem to jump around with no real direction. Here are some songs I have started learning...some better than others...can you guys help me add to my list.

-Crash Into Me
-Lover Lay Down
-Jimi Thing
-Everlong - Foo Fighters
-Times like these - Foo Fighters
-Knockin on heavins door - Dylan
-Wish you were here - Pink Floyd
-Redemption song - Bob Marley
-Burn One down - Ben Harper

Basically looking for songs that are catchy, people know, and that will allow me to build my confidence and move along to more difficult things down the road.

Thanks

Dave

learn the whole song. you probably can play the verse of jimi thing and lover lay down, but it will help you more to learn the chorus and everything.

if you want something fun to play at parties learn big pimpin'. i always get a good response

That opening "solo" is pretty much straight-forward. Using the natural minor and some blues scales.

if you're counting jimi thing as a beginner song then pretty much most guitar you can get in a somewhat short period of time. once you learn to play dave style, most everything else, save for funky tunings and blues stuff is mostly just open chords. just go through your CD collection or your iPod and just learn to play songs you like. and learning whole songs helps.
