Fun Guitar Intermediate/difficult Songs To Play

What are some intermediate/beginner songs on guitar?

Thanks for the A2A!It’s been a while since I’ve been a beginner, but here are the songs I remember first learning.Tom Petty - FreefallingFirst song I ever learned how to play, I remember it’s easy, just D, G, and A if I’m not mistaken. Very good song for beginners.Violent Femmes - Blister in the SunGood for beginners learning riffs as opposed to chords, very very easy to pick up at first. As a bonus, you basically learn La Bamba by learning to play this!ACDC - Back in BlackWas never a fan of ACDC (And honestly I don’t think I ever really sat down to learn this song, I digress) but this song is good for learning to transition from chords to single notes more easily. Pretty good for beginners.Flogging Molly - The Worst Day Since YesterdayOne of the very first songs I ever learned to play, and I still love to play it. A great song for learning to play and sing at the same time, and it’s a hit at drunken parties. ;)Blue Oyster Cult - Don’t Fear the ReaperSounds more difficult than it is, and it’s a great song to help train your right hand, good for learning to pick strings consecutively.Now into more intermediate songsACDC - ThunderstruckThe song that really taught me the secrets to pull offs, as a beginner it’s a great for practicing pinky strength when doing pull offs, and it teaches you precision when moving all up and down the fretboard after each note pulling off to 0.Metallica - Seek and DestroyNot only is this a fun song to play, it’s not terribly difficult (The solo is another story, but the main riff is intermediate at worst). Helps practice hammer ons, and palm muting.Kansas - Carry On My Wayward Son One of my classic favorites, another fun one that everyone knows and it’s got a lot of different techniques in it.Hope this helps, it’s been a while since I’ve done any of these, but I remember these specifically being stepping stones. :)

What are some good songs for an intermediate bass player to learn?

I agree with anything by (and eventually for your own grand finale: all) songs by the Chili Peppers, just like the other Sven said, something tells me Sven knows his sh*t. And Billie Jean too for repetition stamina like Jimmy D said. I already had thought of those two myself, before I read all the answers, before my own post actually :o)Iron Maiden is also good for speed like Jason G said. Good picks there fellow bassists!My personal fav at this moment is Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen.You also can check out these, of varied intermediate difficulty, and varied bass lines:9 to 5 - Dolly PartonShut up and dance - Walk the moon (good for picking)Don't stop me now - QueenBasket Case - Green day (good for picking)Play that funky music - Wild CherryLet me entertain you - Robbie WilliamsDancing Queen - ABBAAnd if you can stand Swedish vocals, I recommend a fun song, by an artist named Magnus Uggla, called "Efterfest" :-) (That's "afterparty" in English and his last name means owl, yes the flying animal. Isn't it great playing bass, learning other stuff at the same time too??)Best o’ luck!ROCK ONSWEDE

Is “Paranoid” by Black Sabbath a beginner, intermediate or hard electric guitar song?

The entire library of Black Sabbath, musically, is intermediate level and some of it could be played reasonably well by a beginner. Fans of Black Sabbath may balk at this, but most of Sabbath’s capital comes from being innovators or the seminal “Heavy Metal” band and not from any sort of technical skill or fantastic songwriting ability. They have a few catchy riffs that can be learned fairly easily. Black Sabbath had a dark sound that wasn’t really based on blues and sex like say Free or Led Zeppelin was, but on a gritty machine-like punctuation and doom. It was different when it came out but it wasn’t challenging to produce.Don’t get it confused with Ozzy Osbourne’s later solo albums, which usually feature a guitar virtuoso. The lead parts on those albums would take someone who has notable skill to play properly.
