The secret to playing great guitar is practice. The biggest problem with that is playing scales all day long can get pretty boring, I have some suggestions to spark an interest in your practice.
I have selected a few Elvis Presley songs that would sound good played on an cheap acoustic guitar as well as an upgraded electric guitar. With just 3, 4, or 5 chords you can put these simple Elvis Presley songs in your repertoire.
If you can play a D, E, and A chord you can play “All Shook Up”, yes that’s right just three simple chords and you could be playing this song. After this song the next song requires 4 chords. “Don’t Be Cruel” is the next song and you only need 4 chords to play it, A D E & E7 are all you need and your on your way. The last song I’ve got for you is “Heartbreak Hotel”, for this song you need to know 5 chords, E E7 A7 B7 & E.
The tabs for these songs can be found on line in Tabs. By introducing these 3 simple songs into you practice you will make it a less boring task and will give you a greater feeling of accomplishment.
