    Question Good pro gat songs to learn guitar and chords with?

    Hey out there.
    I've been learning acoustic guitar for a few years but my motivation wasn't quite strong enough and i enjoyed playing rock band / gat hero much more so bought a mustang / RB3 to help me out. Particularly with the basic chords.

    I've found Space Oddity is good for learning C and D chords on medium, but haven't found any other songs that have many - most seem to be more suited for electric / single note guitaring..

    Can you suggest some other songs in RB3 or that I can download to learn chords or would be good for acoustic guitar?

    The Only Exception and Private Eyes are good ones to start with.

    Have You Ever Seen the Rain? by Creedence Clearwater Revival is probably one of the best for what you're seeking.

    This one gets my vote too. It's the only song I was able to jump into on Expert due to my limited knowledge of chords.

    The Only Exception is modified barre chords with ringing open strings in an alternate tuning. and Private Eyes is all power chords and single notes.

    so, no on both counts.

    Only the Good Die Young - Billy Joel

    Mostly open chords (one barre) and a nice easy rhythm. Throws in a couple minors and some 7th's, too. Good stuff.

    You should really check out Rocksmith, too, if your guitar has a pickup and you're looking for a learning tool.

    sorry for the late reply.
    Thanks much for the suggestions guys - I just checked out Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots and it's exactly what I was after
    Had never heard of the song / band before so didn't even try it till now! What'd be your next suggestion from the included RB3 songs?

    I quite like billy joel and CCR too so might buy good die young and seen the rain too
