A mate of mine, who was a proper guitarist, with grooves worn out of his fingers and everything, had an Oasis medley.
He would play 4 chords. He'd then name each chord.
Then he'd start playing more or less the entire Oasis catalogue, using nothing but those 4 chords. Just song to song to song, same chords.

Good party trick anyway, :lol:

When i started out playing guitar many moons ago (ok, four years ago) i learnt alot of red hot chilli peppers. Thats easy stuff to learn and along the way you'll gather some good techniques that every half decent gutiarist should be aware of.

I also recomend Nothing Else Matters by metallica - just the chords, you dont have to do the fiddly fingerpicking stuff.

Good luck!
