    Long Road, is the first song i learned.

    Nort for you and the intro to Corduroy are good and quick to learn
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Well.... definetly NOT the solo :p But the Verses are pretty easy imho, though the chorus I would say is a bit harder :)

    Yeah, the intro to Corduroy is one of the first things I learned :D Pretty easy. Also the lil' DTE solo (the part with the "admire me....")

    another wee easy bit is in the song "insignificance" where it goes "de de dah dah de de dah dah... dahdahdahdahdahdahdah" very easy and very similar to corduroy!

    yes and the wee stoney riff in Evolution which is good, although it takes a bit of shifting fingers... i thought chord-wise that OffHeGoes is pretty straight forward... F, C, Am kinda thingy, pretty nice to strum along to :cool:

    the bit in corduroy where he sings "i would rather starve than eat your bread" is pretty "easy" to play along to also :)

    Hey! I just realized you're from Argentina :) I'm from there too :p though I live in Florida. In that case, another easy song you should try is "De Musica Ligera" by Soda Stereo :D Very easy song. It's pretty much C, D, and A if I remember well :) and then the little solo, which by the way is very easy too :D

    Rock on! :cool:

    id say the chorus is the easiest, by far. All it is is E G D A (for the most part). The intro and the verses are the hardest, not to mention the solo. But I do agree with most of the ones you mentioned. If I had to add to that list, I would say: (all without solos, if they have them)

    Parting Ways
    Footsteps
    Corduroy
    Indifference
    Long Road
    I am mine
    Hard to Imagine

    I am sure there are more, just cant think of them off the top of my head...

    I haven't learned any song by Los Redondos yet :p I'm sure there are a few easy ones. Just do a search for the songs and their tabs, there's gotta be at least one Redondos song that's easy to play :) lol

    Good luck! :D

    Peace & LoVe,

    Corduroy and Indifference are the easiest songs to play IMO.
    Also, try Untitled.

    All those yesterdays is a nice slow, easy picking pattern.
    It doesn't matter if you're male, female, or confused; black, white, brown, red, green, yellow; gay, lesbian; redneck cop, stoned; ugly; military style, doggy style; fat, rich or poor; vegetarian or cannibal; bum, hippie, virgin; famous or drunk-you're either an asshole or you're not!
