Easy Guitar Songs Volume 1: Number 1

Authority Song - by John Mellencamp

I love playing John Mellencamp songs. Playing and singing his easy guitar songs always thrills me, and they never get old. Learn to play and sing the Authority Song and you'll quickly understand why. The chords are a straight E-A-D pattern - just like the chord pattern taught in the online lead guitar lesson series - lesson 2.

The lyrics and chord pattern can be found here.

The Gunther Anderson lyrics page is a TREMENDOUS resource btw. Definitely bookmark it.

Easy Guitar Songs Volume 1: Number 2

R.O.C.K. in the USA by John Mellencamp

Hey guess what! Another John Mellencamp tune! Another E-A-D 3 chord masterpiece. Who'd have thought that? Given the chord pattern is the same and the chords are the same... you guessed it, you can use the exact same material learned in the free guitar lessons series.

Runnin' Down a Dream - by Tom Petty

Hey, I didn't mean to throw you a curve ball here however I thought we'd take a quick look at another classic American easy guitar songs artist: Tom Petty. Now don't be scared but you'll have to learn a new chord in order to play this song, because the chords are E-A-G (hint: you should be able to figure out a way to play a G chord here). You'll also have to do a little homework to find a scale to use to solo over it: hint review free guitar lessons online lesson 4.

As before the lyrics and chord pattern can be found here.
