    Those 2 songs are easy to play. You can pick them up fast and sound like a rockstar in like 10 minutes. Fun to play along too.

    Good list of nice guitar riffs that are easy to play even for a beginner. But some of these songs are a bit harder to master even there are easy riffs. I’d suggest to learn these full songs, it’s a good practice as well!
