easy guitar songs

i’ve been wanting to play guitar, for a while now & i don’t know if i wanna take lessons or if i should just learn on my own. I was thinking about just going to guitar lessons for the basics, and just learn from there. but iam still not sure.

To be honest. I can not think of anything that is best self taught.
I know that many people teach or claim to do without lessons.
All that I have talked to: Tell me they did get help from a friend or would go to other players and ask for help or suggestions.
I decided I could do it with just a book. After all I could already read music and play another instrument.

I got so frustrated after 6 months that I quit. My grandson saw my guitar one day and picked it up and started playing. I ask how he learned?
He had take classes at the community college.
I tried to play something for him, and he immediately pointed out some mistakes that I was making, and after 30 minutes I decided I wanted to play again. He helped me about once a week until the community college started classes again.
We now really enjoy playing alone or together.
I told my story to the 8 in my guitar class. Every one of them had tried on their own, and found out they needed help.
Get some live help.

Here’s how to play Outkast’s Hey Ya, the acoustic version by Matt Weddle.

I made this video a long time ago, and I found it so I put it up.

“Make sure you capo the 4th fret. 1,2,3,4 put a capo there”

I already looked up some some website but none of them are in enough detail for me…. they’re not in my understanding. So I’m trying to find free lessons that can teach me what else I need to know. I already have a few books, so I know how to play a few chords…. I also need to learn tabs. I don’t quite understand those. So please, if anyone has a website they know about or have used, please let me know. Or if you have some words of wisdom for me, I could use anything. Thank You!

I take guitar and acoustic lessons, so I need a song that will compliment both! Please make it cool for a 13 year old to sing. I need hip songs.

it depends on what kind of music you like. maybe a song by taylor swift?

My Grandma and I want to take guitar lessons together (eaisier for transportation) but she has an acoustic guitar and I have an electric.

sure its very possible, most lessons are private, but i think there are lessons that arnt

the teacher will probably teach you individually asking either you or your grandma to play something 1 at a time

or if not the sound of an electric can be changed to accommodate for the acoustic sound

One of my friends wanted a (total) beginners lesson for that song Will Ferrell sings in that movie Stranger than Fiction– Wreckless Eric’s Whole Wide World.

Hope this helps, at least a little bit.

If you want more explanation or for me to play the whole song through- let me know. please rate/give comments so I know how to improve.

Here are the lyrics:

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
There’s only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti

I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Just to find her

Or maybe she’s in the Bahamas
Where the Carribean sea is blue
Weeping in a tropical moonlit night
Because nobody’s told her ’bout you

I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Find out where they hide her

Why am I hanging around in the rain out here
Trying to pick up a girl
Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears
When there’re girls all over the world

Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneath the tropical sun
Pining away in a heatwave there
Hoping that I won’t be long

I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her
Caressing her warm brown skin
And then in a year or maybe not quite
We’ll be sharing the same next of kin

I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Find out where they hide her
