    Easy songs to learn on acoustic guitar
    So my dads been teaching me some guitar chords (I'm pretty good at D,G,F and E minor) I want to learn a song, but I don't know any easy ones. I want some newer songs (no Beatles etc) thanks :)

    Most Libraries have tons of music books, chord only. You need to learn "C". That is part of an easy 3 chord progression C-F-G. Many songs are in those chords. D-A-E is another as is E-A-B7.

    Royals by Lorde
    I Knew You Were Trouble by Talyor Swift (You don't have to tune down as directed in the video. Just realize that you will be in a different key, if you don't tune down. You can still use the same chords.)

    ... by the way, many songs are written diatonically, meaning that all the chords are in the key of the song. The diatonic chords (3 part harmony) in the key of C major are C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bdim. A beginning musician should be able to play these major and minor chords. (You hardly ever see the diminished chord used in songs). Just put these chords together, sing/play a melody in the key of C - play only natural notes (no sharps no flats) - and you are on your way to your own song written in the key of C.
