You knew this song would be here. It’s one of the first songs many Nepali boys and girls learn to play. Well, at least an easy version of it, which is all one needs for fun! The actual chords are a great lesson on barre chords, nuances of shifting from normal to power chords, and if you are getting into solos: learning half and full bends, speeding up and slowing down, etc.

This Eagles classic is obviously one of their most well-known songs, and a great piece of songcraft from its easy-to-remember chord progression to its lyrics that are wide open to interpretation. As a beginner, you don’t need to know anything more complicated than a three or four-string version of the F chord. As an intermediate or more advanced player, it’s a great barre chord workout and a fun chord progression that you can use to practice improvisation or learn how to play dual leads.

Last Kiss

This Pearl Jam song is probably one of the first songs most teachers teach their students. Very repetitive with a couple of minor variations where you have to hold the G chord for an extra measure.The strumming is very easy making this a great song for beginner guitar players. 

Parellima

This Nepali song by 1974AD is a classic in every sense of the word. A good mixture of easier chords (E, Asus2), intermediate chords (F#m, B) and some power chords makes it a good song to cross over into the intermediate-level territory. The solo, which is one the easy side, is an absolute joy to play as well.
