3 Easy Beginner Guitar Riffs
3 Easy Beginner Guitar Riffs
Learning to play the guitar can be a frustrating process. Unfortunately, mundane repetition is a necessary evil for the beginner guitar player. In this article I have listed three easy beginner guitar riffs that use a basic four or five chord pattern and will hopefully come as a welcome break from your usual practice regime.
Before trying each song, listen closely to the original track. The songs I have picked here all have easy to follow strumming patterns and you will pick them up after a few attempts.
Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay – Otis Redding
Verse chords: G,B,C,A. Chorus: G,B,A,E.
Playing along with the song is the easiest way to pick up the strumming pattern. There are no rapid chord changes so you should be able to play along relatively quickly. The great thing about this easy beginner guitar riff is the many guitar techniques that can be added as you improve.
Situations – Jack Johnson
Song chords: A,F#M,D,E.
A very simple song to play by Jack Johnson. With a slow and easy to follow chord progression this is an ideal beginner guitar riff to practice. This is also an excellent song to practice singing as well as playing.
Take Your Mama Out – The Scissor Sisters
Song Chords: A,G,Bm,A.
A great and very popular track to play and sing along to, with its immediately recognisable strumming pattern. Again, the chord progression is very easy to follow with no rapid changes. Although the original basis for the song is played on acoustic guitar, it does sound equally good on electric guitar with an added “grunge” effect.
Hopefully these three songs will be something to add to your practice list and will carry on playing and adding to as your guitar technique improves.
