When you’re learning how to play guitar, what’s the song most people want to learn how to play? A new bit of research, put together by UkuleleWorld.com, gathered average monthly searches for lessons on 1,000 popular tracks on guitar. The top three choices are:
1. “Wonderwall” by Oasis, which receives a reported 15,620 average monthly searches
2. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama,” with 14,705 searches per month
3. Vance Joy’s “Riptide,” with 11,519 searches
* “Sweet Home Alabama.” Good. Start with something easy.
* Sorry, but can we really trust a website called “Ukulele World”?
* It’s like a list of piano songs put together by a website called “Planet Accordion.”
* Remember how every guitar teacher in the world would try to make you learn “House of the Rising Sun”, and it was impossible so you gave up the guitar? Good times.
* It’s old advice, but it’s true: if you want to learn guitar, play along with any Neil Young song. Doesn’t matter what chord you hit, it will always sound right, guaranteed.
