I already learned several chords

Like

C,G,E,A,Em,E7,G7,Cm,D,Dm

Just easier chords

But what are some songs that are easy and dont have a complicated strum pattern

I already know Country Roads,Theres something,Best day of my life, and cant you see

But I want some newer songs just can't think of any and can't find any that aren't too complicated

I just picked up the guitar like two weeks ago and taught myself how to play the chords

Green day time of your life.
Dont worry about picking the notes

An older one is niel young heart of gold.
you will add another simple chord to your vocab also.

Every rose has its thorns.

Here are a few songs I've compiled through the years.
You should be able to open with Adobe Reader, I have many more but without the words.

One trick is to play as slow as needed but to play it right !

Another is to play with the song playing : first just strumm the chord when chord changes, then let the strumming come :)

I started with stuff like :

try using thin picks for strumming and medium picks for more individual string work. I also use a felt pick sometimes when I want a soft warmer tone.

After a wee while i feel like i know you a little bit through the internet. You seem to be the kind of person whod seriously enjoy drum and bass. I have a reccomendation for you to one day while bored just go through the whole druk and bass thread should only take an afternoon and you shall be achanged person after such an experience.
Good Luck man
