Shane - Hope you had a great time onstage, you were certainly rocking from where I was sitting (onstage, in the drummers chair!) NOW you know how its done in the musicians World - with minimal rehearsals and maximum confidence! We'd love to welcome you back onstage anytime you feel up to task! It was a great experience for us as much as you! All the best, buddy!

Shane you were AWESOME! Loved the eye makeup ;)

Try something simple, like 'You can't always get waht you want' by The Rolling Stones. About the only song I can play.

Shane if my Son who is 15 can be a lead guitarist then I think you can play an easy song.

Black Dog by Led Zeppelin
Black Night by Deep Purple
Day after Day by Badfinger
Starman by David Bowie
When September Ends by Greenday
Iron Man by Black Sabbath
Sunshine of Your Love by Cream
Breaking the Law by Judas Priest
Mississippi Queen by Mountain

These are all songs I learnt when I started that are not to heavy for Mix 94.5

Shane,
As someone about to learn guitar a bit of "Twelve bar blues" is the simplest way to go...."Whatever you want "- Status Quo will get the ball rolling mate ...

Hey Shane you could have a go at "To her door, by Paul Kelly simple as to play...verse GDCG
Chorus GEmDCD

Best of luck and keep at it

Hi Shane what about Stairway to Heaven.
I can remember my son learning the guitar and I think that was the 1st song
he ever learnt to play and one that could actually recognise.
Good luck
Maureen.

Leaving On A Jet Plane... by good old John Denver. It was the first song I learnt to play on the guitar....only a few weeks ago.....good luck and enjoy...and use nylon strings to save the fingers!!!

Posted by Kaz Thursday 30 October, 2008 02:24 PM

Love me Tender by Elvis - who can do the lyrics?

Posted by Sal Thursday 30 October, 2008 01:50 AM

Ode to Joy - coz it's really easy and needs few chords.

Shane - at least you're having a go.

Posted by Diane Burke Wednesday 29 October, 2008 09:26 PM

I think as a learner the fastest song to pick up would be Good Riddence (time of your life) by Greenday. Great acoustic number, simple chords, crowd pleaser and fun with a few beers!! Persevere with the finger pain while learning, takes a month to get over. Good luck mate!!

Posted by Corey Tuesday 28 October, 2008 09:54 PM

Tears from Heaven - only if you can play it like Eric Clapton.

Posted by Lavinia Foster Tuesday 28 October, 2008 05:53 PM

Shane,
"Toe'in the line", Rocky Burnett I think.hehehe.
Good luck with the stitches,
Love, Annette

What about 'Air Guitar' by 'I.M.Defnau" - cause that might be the best way to hear him after only 9 lessons! And I did call & offer to help by learning & practicing with him...but he didnt call me back! interested!

Posted by michele simpson Tuesday 28 October, 2008 04:59 PM

Hey Shane, judging but what I've heard so far, how about playing "Softly Softly Far Far Away"

Posted by Mark Salmon Tuesday 28 October, 2008 08:10 AM

Shane love you to play that clasic smoke on the water
bum bum bum bum bum ba bum

Posted by Garry Monday 27 October, 2008 03:56 PM

Hey Shane,
Have a go at ""Knocking on Heavens Door mate, it's only 4 chords.
G, D, Am and C.
You'll kill this one in 8 weeks.
Good luck, Steve

Im goin through the same thing (learning guitar).

U want easy and very few chords??(and im guessing u r using an acoustic?)

Start with medium or light strings...they will b easier to play!!

"Horse with no name" has 2 chords but the strumming pattern is very catchy or "Leaving on a Jet Plane" or "brown eyed girl"

I started with them and I still go back to them for warmup each time I pick up my guitar.

Good luck and stick with it (ur fingertips will toughen up in a few days but expect PAIN 4 the 1st week)

Posted by brett Friday 24 October, 2008 08:28 AM

I think Rose Of Cimarron by Poco is a good choice

Posted by bigunit Wednesday 22 October, 2008 09:05 AM

Hello Shane Mcfarlane what about Hot Hot Hot.

Posted by Benjamin Ong Tuesday 21 October, 2008 06:29 PM

Just hearing Mix now, what about Smoke on the water, every guitar nerd plays that to begin with

Posted by Macca Tuesday 21 October, 2008 01:40 PM

Hey Shano, wat about "Guns In The Sky" by INXS - its like, 3 cords.

Posted by Gordie Tuesday 21 October, 2008 10:51 AM

Pretty hard to play guitar to, but "I'm Too Sexy"?

Posted by Lionel Monday 20 October, 2008 04:24 PM

Maybe you should give Sultans of Swing a crack?

Posted by Ruby Monday 20 October, 2008 04:23 PM

Why don't you try "Stairway To Heaven"?

Posted by Mark The Cleaner Monday 20 October, 2008 04:20 PM

What about "Classical Gas"? That shoul dbe an easy one to learn

Posted by Steve Monday 20 October, 2008 04:19 PM

Posted by Barbara Monday 20 October, 2008 04:14 PM
