Getting started on guitar has some distinct challenges. First, you need to build the muscles in your hands to play complete songs and then you’ll want to build calluses on your fingertips to play for an extended period of time. Let’s say you’ve been playing long enough to handle some simple three- or four-chord songs and sing them. (Singing them is yet another interesting challenge.) Playing guitar in time and singing along in time isn’t always as easy as it looks. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. No matter what your singing voice sounds like, it’s always nice to have a few beginner acoustic guitar songs that you can break out at a moment’s notice.

Beginners can be anyone from 6-year-olds with small hands to 40-year-olds with rough hands. With that in mind, the first songs that one learns to play on guitar may vary a great deal. A child with little fingers will likely stay on the first few frets and strings, playing simple songs and three-string chords. An older beginner might, on the other hand, start on more difficult chords and songs as his or her hands can fully reach the notes. Either way, guitar songs for beginners will vary from instructor to instructor. Some teachers may start you out on folk or Americana songs you have heard from your youth, while others may take the approach of simple pop songs or classics. Let’s take a look at some guitar songs that will help you along.

Let’s take a look at the Top 40 (but extend it to the Billboard Top 100) to see if there are any easy guitar songs we can find. It’s funny how, these days, Top 40 can include rap, hip hop, pop, rock, and country all at the same time. That’s ok, though, because within each genre there are threads from other genres that make the final product.
If you’re a diehard rap lover, you might not like Keith Urban being in the mix. A hardcore country music lover might not like Lil’ Wayne being on the list, but pop music is for the masses and can often wear many different hats.
