I’m just crazy about The Beatles. And justifiably so, in my opinion.

I self-educated myself how to play the acoustical (and subsequently the electric) guitar by performing easy guitar songs that The Beatles have written. It was amazing to me how easy the chord structures were for such a large percentage of their songs considering how sweet and attention-getting their songs were. So how do I define easy guitar songs? I would say the song can sound sweet enough without the chords being all overly intricate and it suggests no more than four to five chords in total.

Here’s a sample of one of many easy guitar songs written by The Beatles with only three plain chords

She’s a Woman copyright 1964

A7 D7 A7

My love don’t give me presents

A7 D7 A7

I know that she’s no peasant

D7

Only ever has to give me love forever and forever

A7 D7 A7

My love don’t give me presents

E7

Turn me one when I get lonely

D7

People tell me that she’s only

A7 D7 A7

Fooling. I know she isn’t

I am letting you know right now that this song is really fantastic understanding possibly you have but, I don’t know if you have ever listened to this particular song in the past. This song will never really get old. It might easily make it as a hit if recorded by a contemporary musical group. Plenty of musicians throughout the many years have performed what were truly quite easy guitar songs by The Beatles. I almost always favor the originals, if I’m going to be honest.

Here’s another great instance of one of the easy guitar songs written by The Beatles.

You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away

G D F G C F C

Here I stand, head in hand. Turn my face to the wall

G D F G C F C D

If she’s gone, I can’t go on feeling two foot small

G D F G C F C

Everywhere people stare. Each and every day

G D F G C F C D

I can see them laugh at me And I hear them say

G C D

Hey you’ve got to hide your love away (repeat x2)

OK, I realize we now see 5 chords in this song, but I still see it as one of their easy guitar songs that someone can show up at a party with and be noticed.

Because I placed my focus on learning easy guitar songs that I thoroughly enjoyed, I had the motivation and determination to practice so doggedly when I first started learning how to play guitar. So tell the clerk at your local music store that you would like to buy a music book with basic chords for novices and then ask for a music book full of songs by a variety of your favorite musicians. Then, before you decide to buy, peruse the books to find if the songs you want to learn actually are easy guitar songs or not. Best of luck!
