Guitar Songs That are PERFECT for Beginner Players
You’ve finally taken your first guitar lesson and it is SO exciting to play and strum your first songs!
But where to go now?

That’s why I’ve curated a list of songs that include video lessons and TAB so that you can take the guess work out of what songs you should work on and accelerate the learning process for guitar.
These songs will give you a great foundation so that you can go forward confidently and play anything that you like.
