    this is some of the song called free falling by tom petty its not hard but its cool to learn for a starter it is played in an acoustic but it doesn’t really matter if you play it on electric u may have to listen to the song for timing so here it is: note that it goes in order from
    left to right

    5 string six 6 string six 6 string six
    6 string five 6 string five 6 string five
    5 string four 5 string four 5 string four

    5 string six 1 string six
    6 string five 1 string five
    5 string four 0 string four

    there is another part to the song that is a lot similar you can find it at guitaretab.com

      Heaven’s on Fire by Kiss. One of the easiest. Also, anything by Poison or any of those 80’s glam rock bands. Motley Crue is a little more difficult.

    Ryan Boyle

    hey, look, im not that good at playing and i would like to get an easy tab to play so i can get started at least. if you could send it ot my email address i would highly appreciate it, thanx! I’m 12 years old so anything i would recognize, ozzy, linkin park, metallica, suppin like that. Oh, and if you can, tell me how to read tabs, lol, i’m kinda confused, i forget how so just do whatever you can for me, thanx!

    1. Re: i want an easy tab
      Zach

      hey i can tell you how to read a guitar tab…. firts you have to find out what string it is on. and the number is what riff. so if it says E-1-3-3-5-5-6slide-6side-6slide-6slide you do the first riff the the 3rd one twice then the 5th one twice and then you put your fingers one 6 hit the e string slide to 7 and put you fingers back on six hit the string and slide to 7, four times. I am also a newbie at the guitar so i am also lokkin for easy guitar tabs. if you have any more problems e-mail me at [email protected] but tell me in the subject box that it is about guitar tabs or i will delete it

  15. click here for easy tabs
    Rachael

    ok first i’d like to ask some of these people a question. how freaking lazy can you be?? there are a million websites out there with tabs on them. now, it can get pretty tricky if you have no idea what you’re looking for. So i’ve got a list of songs that are wicked easy to play.

    1) Smoke on the Water, by Deep Purple
    2) Jingle Bells
    3) Ode to Joy
    4) Yankee Doodle
    5) Greensleeves
    6) Basketbase, by Green Day

    All of these are easy to find, just google their titles with the word "Tabs" after them, or use ultimate-guitar.com.
    To start you off, I’ll give you the tabs for Smoke on the Water and for Basketcase.
    Smoke on the Water: (in any key) 0-3-5 (pause) 0-3-6-5 (pause) 0-3-5 (pause)3-0.
    Basketcase: (in the key of low E [the fattest string]) 7-7-5-5-3-3-222 (repeat)

    Good luck!

      : All of these are easy to find, just google their titles with the word "Tabs" after them, or use ultimate-guitar.com.
      : To start you off, I’ll give you the tabs for Smoke on the Water and for Basketcase.
      : Smoke on the Water: (in any key) 0-3-5 (pause) 0-3-6-5 (pause) 0-3-5 (pause)3-0.
      : Basketcase: (in the key of low E [the fattest string]) 7-7-5-5-3-3-222 (repeat)

      : Good luck!

      ***-that does not sound like basket case at all. i would say its ‘Hitchin a Ride’ ….
