It can help you relieve stress, improve your social life, build up your confidence, teach you how to be more patient, how to express your creativity, it will improve your memory, develop a discipline, and give you a sense of achievement. Often, regardless of the age, people who want to learn how to play guitar are giving up at the very beginning. The reason behind this action is because they are choosing hard songs, unlike the easiest and best songs to play on guitar we’ve listed below. Many people are choosing fast and difficult songs and since they cannot get a single note right, they are giving up hope and stop playing.

Now without a further ado let’s see what Insider Monkey has investigated for us. We have picked three songs from their list.

The first song is Am I Evil by Diamond Head. Although this song is today more recognizable as Metallica’s song it was actually released in 1980 by British heavy metal band Diamond Head. The tricky part of this song is hidden in the arpeggios, but they are kind of basic, and a good thing to learn as a beginner. The second song is Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden. Heavy metal would not have gone far without this legendary band. So here’s a suggestion for an easy heavy metal song to play on guitar. Having in mind there are three guitars in the band (this song written for two though), you can choose which one is easier for you to play, if you want to skip tricky solos at the beginning. At last, but not least let’s see Countess Bathory by Venom. Considered as a great influence on black metal (with their album Black Metal), Venom is an NWOBHM band. This is a rather easy song especially because there are no complicated solos.
