I don't remember any of them being particularly difficult. Something like Who Feel Love is an exception because it's hard to get that to sound right on guitar but I wouldn't say there's anything difficult about the majority if not all of the songs. Any song with barre chords are really difficult for beginners especially if you didn't go for lessons like me. Yeah,barre chords are so difficult,the only song that I can play with one of them is SCYHO,I want to learn Some might say,but the barre is a problem

The best way to get used to them is to play something like She's Electric or All Around the World for extended periods of time. Just keep repeating it and it'll get easier.

I'm much better now, still not mastered barre chords but I'm getting there. I said barre chords are difficult because as a beginner you want to play songs but barre chords make that difficult. The OP said he wanted easy songs so anything without barre chords is easy and so not all oasis songs are easy for beginners at least. And believe me EVERY beginner finds barre chords really difficult to master and it has nothing to do with the guitar. Edit: lol, just checked, the quotes must've got mixed up I thought you were talking me...oops sorry.

Lol I know probably 30 songs. Maybe more. The easiest ones I know are: (in this order)
Songbird Columbia Live Forever Morning Glory Cigarettes & Alcohol Cloudburst (It's good) To be free Full On Whatever
There are more, sure, but these are the easiest because there are few chords involved, the chord-changing speed is low, it's only minor and major chords (no 7th chords, that may cause trouble to beginners), or there's too much repetition.
The funniest songs to play with lead guitar are:
Supersonic, Columbia, It's good to be free, DLBIA, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Strange thing, Slide Away.

I hate it when people/instructors just give you the chords and make it seem like it's the easiest thing ever but don't explain to you the exact strum pattern. That's one of the hardest things to get a hold of when you're first starting out. The strumming sequence gives the rhythm to the song, I see so many videos that just expect you to fiddle around and somehow figure it out yourself through trial and error, which is near impossible to do unless you're a seasoned vet. Or am I missing something?

When I started out on the guitar I would get the chords to a song online or elsewhere, then I'd turn on the record and play along until I got it somewhere near the track. Over time you can get quite good this way.
As for barre chords, well ..... it only gets easier with time.

Live forever is the easiest to me,first song that I've learned TIOBI and SCYHO (Noel's acoustic version) are pretty easy EOTR is more difficult,but it's fucking amazing! I want to learn WDIAGW? is it easy? WDIAGW is a jam on the acoustic. I play it regularly with my brother who takes the lead in the middle and the harmonies. It's fantastic. I don't think it is very difficult at all.

The strumming sequence gives the rhythm to the song, I see so many videos that just expect you to fiddle around and somehow figure it out yourself through trial and error, which is near impossible to do unless you're a seasoned vet. Or am I missing something? Just let it go dude, you feel the strumming pattern with the heart (aka, aesthetic intuitive part of the brain), i know it sounds foolish but it's the easiest part. Just let the rythm flow naturally, don't try to calculate it, it just comes out naturally. It's a matter of practising relaxed. Don't try to achieve perfection when you are playing, try to enjoy, and your brain will learn much faster. Do it relaxed. Music is a language, and you learn it faster if you get to like it first. To summar: Don't try to calculate or learn by immitation, just do it bad until it starts feeling good. When you get to know that good feeling, your brain will be put in the right track, and the whole learning process will be more relaxed, efficient, and joyful. But yeah, do it bad first, but don't stop playing just because it sounds bad. Keep playing, and you'll see, eventually, just for the sake of it, the right pattern will come out naturally. 100% guaranteed.

You're right, I totally agree with that. georgiarose on YouTube through who's videos I've learnt a lot of songs almost never gives the strumming pattern but once you get comfortable with the guitar you just pick it up from hearing it. I remember the first week when I got my guitar I had a hell of a time getting the strumming for Wonderwall right even with instructions but over time I got used to listening to how it sounds and figuring out the strumming pattern by myself. Now I don't ever check for strumming patterns, I just figure it out by myself. So I agree with you it's not a calculated science, you just have to feel/hear it to get it right.

I like playing the newest version of Supersonic that Noel does, which is very easy and almost the same as Wonderwall. Most of his songs are easy, especially if you follow georgiarose's guide.

They're all easy to be fair. The riff in Fuckin In the Bushes is as hard as it get really. One Way Road (but that's just because I hate fretting Dm7 ) was a little difficult for me and so was Roll It Over. And as for barre chords it's really about leverage. The more leverage you give the more your hand will have enough strength to pull them off. When I first started I had to always remember to get my elbow as straight down to the ground as possible, so pointing nearly directly downward. And then as I got used to them I slowly starting bringing my elbow closer and closer to my body because my hand built up enough strength where I didn't to get as much leverage. And in terms of strum patter, you really just feel it. You don't always have to play the rhythm pattern to the exact record. If you're playing it on your own, often times it's very good if you mix up the tempo or the rhythm a bit. In the end, that's how you develop your own style as a guitarist.

Being an Oasis fan is really great if you start playing guitar, as there are at least 10 songs that are really easy but sound like something - Wonderwall, Cast No Shadow, Whatever, Morning Glory... When I started out on the guitar I would get the chords to a song online or elsewhere, then I'd turn on the record and play along until I got it somewhere near the track. Over time you can get quite good this way. As for barre chords, well ..... it only gets easier with time. Exactly my experience as well. Started playing one and a half years ago and I just looked up chords and tried to match the song's rhythm...worked fine. Also, if you have a capo, there are acoustic versions with easy chords on a capoed guitar for a bunch of great ones (DLBIA and Slide Away, for example).

Cheers to everyone on here--I'm like Binary Sunset, thinking of finally learning acoustic guitar and this thread is very helpful. Especially because like Bruno I don't have the time for serious guitar lessons. Or much money! A related question: what sort of acoustic guitar is good for beginners? I went into a guitar shop and they had a Fender (think it was a Sunburst?) that seemed pretty good.

I went into a guitar shop and they had a Fender (think it was a Sunburst?) that seemed pretty good. Whatever feels good(and budget wise as well), you could bring someone who plays guitar(or play/judge it yourself) to help you to decide on wich one to pick. Just don't pick one because of it's looks, you could be buying a guitar that looks fine but has high action(that makes harder to do barechords) and could make it harder to learn how to play in the guitar. Angel Child is another one that could be performed with some ease.

Songbird is the easiest by far. G - Em That's the whole song. Enjoy. you can play it like that (it sounds just fine) but don't forget technically if you want to play it correctly you need to have the F# in there as well
