I just learned "Mind Riot" off of Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger, and I think you could probably safely give it a go as a beginner.
The tuning is pretty fucking fucked up. Its
EEEeee (really no need for upper and lower case e's, just seemed like something to do here)
ITS ALL Es, and, at least the way i did it was:
e - duh
B - *way* down to E
G - down to E
D - up to E
A - down to E
E - duh
After you get the tuning straight.
Then strum a few times, bend some strings, then retune.
Then bend some more, and fine tune some more.
Then it's really fucking easy. And pretty.
Oh. And do NOT try this if you have a "floating bridge" (floyd rose, etc) ... lolzerz
"Mind Riot" tab on Songster
plain old tab easier to read tab
there's a good guitar pro file too, but i couldn't find it easily enough, sorryIf I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand?0 -

Footsteps is a good PJ song.
If you want to build up hand strength find a Ramones song you like and try to get through it. Anything off of Loco Live. The live stuff is much faster paced then their studio recordings. You could do I believe in Miracles. Its also a PJ cover song.Forced to endure, what I cannot forgive.0 -

I am 3 months into learning guitar and I have found that BLACK is a great (and easy) song to learn. It only uses 5 chords.....
E and A for the verses, then C, Em and D for the "chorus" (at least the version I am playing now).
The strumming pattern is the toughest part I find . . getting that rhythm down (especially when trying to sing it!) is tough....
Other versions have the Asus4 or Asus2 chord in there too...Barrie 08/22/98
