Simple guitar songs for beginning musician

What genre of music do you like?
There are also a lot of other things you can do to accelerate the learning process. Finding a good teacher (easier said than done) and learning how to practice are your best bet. Try to seperate the elements. One of the most important is rythmn, make sure you practice rythmn with a metranome by clapping along to written patterns, this is very easy to learn...getting good takes a little practice, even if your fumbling (a little) with your chords if you can maintain your rythmn (pattern) your friends (audience/yourself) will still enjoy it.

If you learn how and what to practice you can shave years off the learning process.

People always think they're both easy. To my limited abilities they're not.
Playing with, watching other PLAYERS who are more advanced always helped me.
