Sam Fender Easy Guitar Songs for Beginners

I always like to keep up with upcoming authentic musicians and artists, and this time I came across Sam Fender. Well to be honest my guitar students introduced me to his music and were almost shocked that I didn’t know this artist yet. So before we dive into the “Easy Sam Fender Songs to Play on Guitar,” let’s take a closer look at who Sam Fender is and tell you briefly how it all started for him.

Sam began playing guitar at around eight years old, growing up in a musical household in North Shields, a coastal town in the northeast of the UK, where his father introduced him to the instrument.

He spent hours teaching himself songs by artists like Bruce Springsteen and Jeff Buckley. Without much formal training, he developed his skills by ear.

As a teenager, he played in local pubs and small venues and started beginning to write his own music. His breakthrough came when he was discovered by a manager while working at a pub, launching his career beyond his hometown. His guitar playing always remained central to his sound.

He became widely known through songs like “Seventeen Going Under”, “Hypersonic Missiles”, and “Will We Talk?”, and has since built a catalogue that feels both modern and classic at the same time.

How to Stay Consistent with Guitar Practice

“Your future is shaped by the habits you repeat, not the goals you set.”

We all have those days when picking up the guitar feels like a chore. Maybe you’re tired, distracted, or just plain uninspired.

But here’s the thing: consistency is key when it comes to becoming a better guitarist. And while motivation might come and go, building a practice habit that sticks can keep you moving forward, even on days when you don’t feel like it. You’ll thank yourself later on.

So how can you stay consistent with your guitar practice, even when you’re feeling unmotivated? Here are a few tips that can help you keep that guitar in your hands and your progress on track.

1. What and Why: Clarify Your Purpose for Practicing

Before you can stay consistent with your practice, it’s important to remind yourself of what you want to achieve and why you want to practice in the first place and write that down!

When you’re struggling with motivation, it’s easy to forget the bigger picture, your goals, your love for music, or the thrill of learning new things.

Ask yourself:

• Do you want to improve your skills to play your favorite songs?
• Are you aiming to play in a band and become a rhythm or lead guitar player?
• Is your goal to master a particular technique or style of music that makes you feel good?

Knowing your personal motivations, you’ll have a clear reason to pick up the guitar even on tough days. This “why” will keep you connected to your larger goal, making it easier to push through moments of doubt.

Once you’ve got your goal in mind, break it down into smaller, actionable steps, which leads us to the next point…

Hi wonderful folks,

It’s been a while since I’ve been posting regularly on Guitarhabits. The past couple of years have been pretty crazy. I’m usually hesitant to share too much of my personal life online, especially with how things can spread on the internet. But let’s just say that people close to me passed away and I was dealing with some health issues myself.

I’m not sharing this to make anyone feel sorry for me, we all have our challenges in life. But because of your loyal support over the years, I felt it was only fair to let you know how I’m doing. I also know how it feels to follow people online and slowly feel like they become a small part of your life.

I’m doing okay now, though I’m still a work in progress. But I guess that’s what life is all about, right? Haha. The past few years have taught me some tough but valuable lessons, and they’ve also opened the door to new and exciting things in my life that are slowly beginning to take shape.

Alright, let’s move on to the fun part.

Miss the Train

I recently released a new song on Spotify and AppleMusic. It’s a song I wrote and recorded about ten years ago but never actually released. A few months ago I found myself listening to it again after a long time, and somehow it just felt like the right moment to finally share it with the world.

The song is called “Miss the Train.” It’s about the constant rush in life, how many people feel the pressure to keep running and chasing something bigger and bigger. In the song, the main character decides to miss that train and stay behind, choosing a simpler and more meaningful way of living.

I would love it if you’d give it a listen and if you happen to like the song feel free to add it to one of your Spotify or Apple playlists.
