U2 One Easy Acoustic Song Lesson for Guitar

I've always said that the fastest and easiest way to learn the guitar is by learning songs that you love. With this list of the 100 best easy acoustic guitar songs, I'm sure you'll find beloved songs that you recognize and will enjoy learning.

The list pulls from a variety of artists, genres, and musical styles so there's truly something for everyone. I also included chords, tabs, and the best video lesson I could find for each song.

Many of the songs use just a few chords, so they're very beginner friendly.

I hope you get a lot of value out of this post (if so – share it with a fellow guitar player!).

One final note before we get started: don't forget to tune your guitar! These songs won't sound right if your guitar is out of tune… If you need a great tuner, here's my favorite clip-on guitar tuner (on Amazon).

Also: you will need a capo to play some of these songs. If you don't have a capo (or want to upgrade to a better one) here's my favorite capo (on Amazon).

Now without further ado, let's jump into these 100 easy acoustic guitar songs (with chords, tabs, and video lessons):
