Yes, keep checking back and we will have tutorial videos up. Within a week for sure, if not sooner! Any other suggestions? Do you prefer tabs, videos, sheet music, etc?
hihicanvaskid on June 8, 2010
Looks like my request went through! Well it’s perfect. Tabs would be a nice addition, though not a necessary one. Now, though not necessarily on this page, would it not be wise to have a poll page to hold votes for the next top acoustic song? With registered users being the only ones able to take a vote, due to spam of course.
elton on August 24, 2010
i love to play acoustic. in fact, i’m a performer here in our place. i need someone to manage me (if possible, to have a recordings). i’m a composer, singer and guitar player..please if you guys out there are willing to manage me, i’m pretty much willing too.

headstock48 on November 5, 2010
Hi. With all due respect, If You Could Only See by Tonic is not a beginner song, with the F chord!

thedoctorsgurl on October 13, 2011
This is awesome! Thanks for making this site! Could you post tutorials for My Chemical Romance songs, or are they too hard for this section?
KissMyBass on October 18, 2011

Freya on October 26, 2011

akira90996 on October 27, 2011

learning2play on November 6, 2011

asdfghjkl on November 11, 2011
sheet music for free without a download would be awesome everthing is tabs which dont tell the rythm or strumming that great.
hjnd2396 on November 23, 2011
Good list of songs, but a bit misleading…all of them are great songs, but ones like Nothing Else Matters and Hey There Delilah will be way beyond people who’ve only been playing for a couple months or so…at least to play them right. (I speak as having played for several years and knowing LOTS of guitarists of varying skill levels).
heenal on November 26, 2011
I like your site and songs I like to learn
beginner on December 15, 2011
would anybody be able to find the easiest way to play “walkin after midnight” by patsy cline?.. an instructional video would be cool.
larivblt on December 22, 2011
loving this site.. wish i could have come across it sooner
kingabitheawesome on December 26, 2011
The site is awesome, but free sheet music would just be amazing. There is only tab out there and i can’t read it. Others have asked about sheet music… so i’m thinking people want sheet music PLEASE 😉
Vishvshrey Acharya on December 31, 2011
Guitaring made easy !!!!! loved greenday’s time of your life
rockerchic on January 2, 2012
It would help a lot if there was sheet music or something showing the chords and strings u are suppose to strum or hold down that would be a life saver but yea I found this site very helpful great work I found everything fast and easy & I like how itz not like a list of like songs from the 80’s or 50’s like most sites are
noobie9 on January 7, 2012
When she plays time of your life, all of the chords song exactly the same.
moses on January 22, 2012

Great list will have to try some of these out. Keep up the good work..
Rauanium on August 26, 2012
hello , this site is great …. i want to ask, songs ordered by their easiness ?
FireCrackaJoe on February 28, 2013
This site is a very good site to start learning some stuff, but a few songs are rather a bit harder for people just beggining or for only playing for a few months, like Nothing else matters, and hey there delilah. Other than that, it’s a good site. Keep adding more new songs please! Love what you have done here.
bones777 on May 31, 2013
kudos to the person who thought this up, bring it ive been waiting for something like this
hihicanvaskid on May 10, 2010
I finally found an all-acoustic music site! This is great, it is obviously still under-construction, but I like it! Anyways, for this easy guitar songs to learn, it would be nice to actually add the lessons here, either by youtube videos, or you guys yourself!
