Choosing simple songs to help you learn guitar can be a little tricky.

Many songs that say they're "easy" might still be tough for beginners. They often have tricky chord changes or strumming patterns that can be frustrating. Here are some common challenges and how to tackle them:

1. Chord Changes: A lot of beginners find it hard to switch between basic chords.

   • Tip: Try songs that use just two or three chords. Songs like “Eleanor Rigby” or “Wildflower” are usually easier to play.

2. Strumming Patterns: Some songs have complicated strumming patterns that can confuse new players.

   • Tip: Start with just simple downstrokes. Focus on keeping a steady rhythm before you add in more complicated patterns.

3. Speed of the Music: Fast songs can feel discouraging when you're just starting out.

   • Tip: Practice with slower versions of the songs first. You can also use a metronome to slowly get faster.

4. Choosing the Right Song: With so many songs out there, it can be hard to pick one.

   • Tip: Look for popular nursery rhymes or folk songs because they usually have simpler structures.

By picking songs that fit your skill level, you can have fun playing while also getting better at guitar!
