31 Songs - Play Guitar Chords

Hello and Welcome! This lens will provide you with a list of guitar songs that my family has played and collected over the years that are fairly easy to play. There is nothing more beautiful than to play, listen and enjoy songs through the years. Playing guitar chords whether on an acoustic or electric brings a special sound to the mix. I hope you can enjoy these songs too! Once, you start playing some songs you will feel so into the moment of wanting to play and learn so much more!
