Note: Perfect for Absolute Beginners

These songs are written specifically for absolute beginners. Some have been carefully adapted to help you learn in the best way while you’re starting off with guitar riffs. Our goal is to make the learning process enjoyable and approachable, so even if you’ve never touched a guitar before, you’ll be able to jump right in and start playing.

1. Starting with the Classics: Nursery Rhymes and Children’s Songs

We kick things off with simple melodies that are perfect for beginners. Songs like “Mary Had A Little Lamb,” “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,” and “Old MacDonald” are great for developing your finger coordination and understanding of rhythm. These timeless nursery rhymes are familiar to everyone, making them a comfortable starting point for young learners.

2. Stepping into the World of Film and TV

Once you’re comfortable with the basics, we’ll introduce you to some iconic themes from movies and TV shows. Play along with the epic sounds of the “Star Wars Theme,” the adventurous “Indiana Jones,” the magical “Harry Potter,” and the thrilling “Pirates of the Caribbean.” You’ll even get to enjoy the quirky tunes of “Wallace and Gromit” and “Meet the Flintstones.” These pieces are a fantastic way to add a bit of excitement to your practice sessions while developing your skills.

3. Exploring Popular Music Across Genres

As your skills grow, so does our song selection. Dive into classic rock riffs like “Smoke On The Water” by Deep Purple, the bluesy “Sunshine of Your Love” by Cream, and the groovy “Under Pressure” by Queen. We also feature reggae with Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song,” iconic pop with “Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison, and some hard rock classics like “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath and “Enter Sandman” by Metallica.

We haven’t forgotten about modern classics either.
