Again, this is list is just the tip of the iceberg there’s many more just waiting to be discovered.
The trick is to play all these songs with easy chord shapes while still being able to accompany the vocalist(s) in a key that best suits their voice.
The ideal way to achieve this is to master the three basic chord shapes in the guitar friendly keys and then use a capo to transpose these easy chord shapes into other keys.
The three basic chords in the key of G are G, C & D7.
The three basic chords in the key of D are D, G & A7.
The three basic chords in the key of A are A, D & E7.
The three basic chords in the key of E are E, A & B7.
The best news is you don’t even have to know all the chord shapes listed above, you could play all these songs (and a whole lot more), by learning only three chords in one key. However it’s better if you know at least two keys.
Take your time and learn these basic chords on the guitar, you will be glad to did, they will reward you with many hours of fun on the guitar.
