Question:
n two days I will have an acoustic guitar. It will be the Yamaha APX-10 I'm a begginer so I want to know what are good songs for begginers. The song have to be easy and they have to sounds very well on an acoustic guitar

Answer:
Firstly, what music do you like to listen to and what do you think you'd most like to play on the guitar? List about 5-10 songs and I'll reply back saying if I think they are easy or not. If you like Oasis or Stereophonics, or most pop/rock songs then there are usually quite a few from each band/artist that are fairly easy to learn. My best recommendation is www.songplayer.com. It's a free professional product that comes on some music album CD's such as the latest one from The Stereophonics. It shows you where you need to place your fingers on your guitar, in time to the song. If you have the album on CD then put the CD in your computer and it will play the song at the same time as it displays where your fingers should be. I learnt my first song with www.songplayer.com, I highly recommend it. They also have a Free First lesson on there, again very good. All the latest pop albums are on it. You can download the demo of the song and see if you like it. The demo is usually the intro and the first verse, if you want more then you have to pay BUT your 1st song is totally free, no catches. You got to register to get songplayer, but they don't send it out to any 3party junk emailers. Can you read guitar tab? Good free lesson and guitar site: http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~desmith/guitar/picking/lessintro.htm
