After the success of my recent post on , I’ve decided to continue the series with 20 more easy guitar songs. These ones are a little different, though, because the focus here will be more on riffs and tabbed songs (rather than chords).

Most of the tabs I’ve linked to here will require you to have the tab program “” (read my and why you should buy it!).

Just click on the title of the song to download the tab.

1.

If you haven’t learnt this one yet, where have you been? This is an absolute classic and the great thing is: it’s not too hard to get the main riff down. A must for beginner guitar players everywhere!

6.

O.K…so it’s Metallica…the solos are going to be difficult! However, the main rhythm section is made up of arpeggios and chords! Anyway, it’s probably the easiest Metallica song there is!

7.

Mostly known as “the theme to Trigger Happy TV”, this one was originally played on keyboards.

8.

The main riff is only three chords…three chords that’ll make you want to dance around your room and air guitar until your fingers bleed (except you’ll actually HAVE a real guitar)!

9.

I searched hard to find an easy Kiss song, as you gotta have a bit of Kiss! This one is basically a pentatonic pattern for the verse, followed by powerchords in the chorus.

10.

If you’re my age or older, you’ll remember this from the chewing gum advert…

11.

Another tune from ACDC, the band that have a knack for turning three chords into a classic rocker!

12.

“School’s out for summer…”

…well even if it’s not, there’s still the hope…

13.

If you really want to get into playing lead guitar, my new book ‘Awesome Lead Guitar’ is out now. In it you’ll learn the most common scales and techniques that lead guitarists use with full scale diagrams and tabs!

Then, you can practise along with the 17 included full solo examples and backing tracks! for more.
