One of the first song I learned on the acoustic guitar is Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day. Really easy song, 4 chords in total, no barre.
Keep in mind that is always best to learn songs you like: some might be hard but you'll be more satisfied when you get it. If you look for chords or tabs, Ultimate Guitar is a great resource
Writing from a 3 years old 4a running CalyxOs: the phone is a perfect choice if you want a small sized phone with a 3.5mm jack and that gets constant updates. The camera might be a little better but I don't take many pictures so I don't mind.

Cars shaped city planning, housing and by consequence our lifestyle, making us more dependent on them to get through your day. You can see it expecially in European cities that were built in medieval/reinassance times: if you live and work in the older parts you can totally do without a car. If you move a few kilometers out, not having one becomes a real handicap
Google owns YouTube, so it's technically a media corporation.

No need to be sarcastic, I'm not attacking anyone on a personal level.
I know this thread is about songs, in fact I wanted to give credit to the people who actually had an active part in writing these songs (not just producing).
I know people cannot always credit every member working behind a piece of music, like it's a scientific paper, but if you're a lover of this art sometimes is nice to stop and be curious about who these people are and how they work. If you don't you're just a consumer, which is fine but you're missing a big part of the process.
Max Martin is the genius working behind most of the artists mentioned in this thread. The dude is a total hit parade machine and the fact that no one said his name tells me a lot about how music is perceived in the mainstream.
It would be a total bummer if you spent 80$ for a candle and now your house smells like an high school locker room after the football game
Am I the only one that calls my CAT layers stuff like "koala buttfucker", knowing pretty well that I'm the only one who sees it?

My criticism is in fact focused on how the movie was directed, interpreted and cut, I didn't mention the story.
Also, the comparison with The Lord of The Rings is a bold move my friend... I mean, I understand that's about "being just a part of a longer story", but the Fellowship of the Ring is a brilliant example of how a movie should be directed, interpreted and cut.
Still together, almost 15 years later
This friend was gifted to me by my next door neighbour in 2009, when I was 17 and it has been love ever since.
Today it was it's cleaning day: I cleaned it all up, scraped the gunk from the fretboard and polished the frets with car scratch remover and at the end it came out so fine that made me want to share a picture with the community.
Take care of your instruments and they will last for a long time.
Suggestion please: overdive pedal
Hi everyone who's reading: I'm looking for an overdrive pedal that can go into distortion as well when pushed to high gain (or vice versa). I'm using a TS9 clone now and while I love the sound it provides, it cannot go into full distortion. Is there something that woulf help my needs? Plus point if it's a "budget" one
Today I'm upgrading my guitar
Last year I bought an Harley Benton Telecaster and I loved it right away. Today I'm going to make it even better by upgrading its weak spots like the tuners, the electronics and the plastic nut. I'm also going to mod the wiring with a 4-way switch and adding a "pickup in series" mode. Wish me luck.
What if aliens haven't visited us yet because they keep misspelling "Earth" in the navigator?
Maybe they keep typing "Erth" and this brings them to the goddamn Triangulum Galaxy or some sht
My latest project is done
Last month a friend of mine gifted me his 1997 Epiphone Les Paul 100. He bought it at a pawn shop 15 years ago, played twice and left it at his parents' house since. It was all beat up and dusty, the wood was so dry and brittle that when I poured olive oil in the truss rod shaft, it made the sound of someone taking the last sip of soda with a straw. The stock electronics were really cheap to begin with and all this time made them disgustingly crunchy. !
And one of the previous owners swapped the stock knobs with four Strat style tone knobs, which should be enough to be condemned for war crimes and be waterboarded for years. !
So I spent the last month rummaging second hand websites and shops for spare parts. The best deal I got was finding these wonderful Tesla Opus-2, humbucker sized P90 pickups that sound wonderful. Even at full price they are crazy value for the money, and I paid a little more than half of it.
I also gave it a new guts transplant with full sized potentiometers, shielding with copper tape and alluminum foil and a different knobs configuration: both volume knobs on top, both tone knobs on bottom. Gibson purists are gonna hate me, but I feel it more natural for me this way. !
Unfortunately I got ripped off by the guy who sold me the tuning machine heads, as one was broken (I should have checked better). So for now I kept one of the old ones for the low E string. I wasn't really happy at first but it's slowly growing on me. I might end up keeping it this way. !
As for now I'm really pleased with the result: this is the first Les Paul I ever owned and also the first guitar I fully renovated from the ground up. Giving a second life to this beautiful instrument has been super fun and taught me a lot, so if you have any questions feel free to ask
Big, Green & Loud
Something different for a change: my homemade Big Muff Pi - "Green Russian" clone. Sounds like the original but has the best Big Green Boi on it, so it's a huge improvement.
