Even the most proficient guitar players had to start somewhere. For The Hoosiers it was Bryan Adams, Oasis and The Beatles. But what about the other classic songs to learn on?

Led Zepplin ‘Stairway To Heaven’
So popular that it’s often banned in guitar shops. The classic learner’s tune.

Oasis ‘Live Forever’
Easy to play, this makes the novice player feel connected, man.

Jack Johnson ‘Upside Down’
Those surfers know how to make a song nursery-rhyme simple. Which is good for new kids on the guitar block.

Chris Isaac ‘Wicked Game’
Minimal effort, maximum impact.

Bob Marley ‘Redemption Song’
Much like the Beatles, Marley’s back catalogue is brimming with songs that newbies can pick up with ease.

The Beatles ‘Blackbird ‘
The Beatles make a lullaby. Guitar players use it to get over initial lack of skill.

Pink Floyd ‘Wish You Were Here’
Classic student music to learn to.

Pulp ‘Common People’
Britpop provides yet another classic song for Guitar 101.

Simon And Garfunkel ‘Mrs Robinson’
Well, everyone knows the chorus, don’t they?

Outkast ‘Hey Ya’
It’s easier than you think – and L-plate guitar players will score maximum cool points by learning Andre and Big Boi’s cyber-Motown pop classic.
