my first song was nothing else matters. maybe should have started with another music, it is a bit complicateded for a beginner ( but when u leran it its pretty easy actually) but helped me a lot because it was not a song based on the most common chords structures C Em E A Am and G.

mine was Face Down by: the red jumpsuit apparatus, but the easiest song i know is Every Rose has its Thorn by poison (G and Cadd9 are the chords). Another good easy one is The day i Left the Womb by: escape the fate (C and Em are the chords)
