What are some songs I should learn?
Hey, I just started guitar lessons like 3 weeks ago. I can't think of any partiular songs I want to play that I can actually play. (I'm really into metal.) I have been playing piano for 4 years, so I know plenty of music theory, if that will help. I want to play anything between hard rock and death metal, but preferably not like doom metal. As for what I can play right now....I think Crazy Train is the only song I can play, besides the one I wrote.

Preferably not in tunings lower than Drop D, because I don't know where my chromatic tuner is, and I'm currently in standard.

I'm guessing Christian songs, since this is in the Christian section?

Hmmm, "Artificial Immortality" by Becoming the Archetype would be fun. Also, "Death of Me" by RED.

I'm asking for kind of easy songs. I've had 3 lessons. But thanks, I'll check those.

You'd be pretty solid with any array of Christian songs because many of them feature similar strumming patterns and chord progressions.

Here are some good places to start:

I could be wrong, but isn't that in Drop C?

End of the Age on that cd is in Drop D though I'm pretty sure.

Though either of those are probably a bit hard if you've only played for 3 weeks.

You could transpose it.

I think that song and transposing are most-likely out of the question for someone who just started learning guitar three weeks ago.

Hillsong United's new track "King of All Days" is pretty easy, modern, and Christian IF that's what you're going for.

No, but I'm not too familiar with any death metal songs that are easy to play; I was going with more simplistic stuff with basic chords and progression.

I learned two Skillet songs last night. Thus, I don't really need this thread anymore.
