Your First Five Songs to Build Confidence, Skill, and a Stunning Repertoire of Songs

Audio And Tips

Welcome. Below are the audio “Playalong” tracks for the five songs – “Happy Birthday”, “Jingle Bells”, “Amazing Grace”, “Drunken Sailor”, and “House of the Rising Sun”. Each sounds wonderful and is so much fun to play! I tell everyone, learning your first five songs is the first big goal all guitarists should have. These five are great proven choices!

To make practising the songs easier, there are multiple versions of each track, including full speed and slowed down versions. (I recommend you start by practising with the slowed down versions). The “Final Track” features both the melody and the strummed parts. These let you hear exactly how the tune should sound. There are also “Melody Only” and “Strummed Only” versions of the songs too.

You can practise along with the tracks in a variety of ways. Each will help you to perfect the parts. For instance, you might want to :

Practise the melody at first along with the “Melody Only” track and do so at a slow speed.
Then you might want to try the melody with “Final Track”.
After this, you might want to play the melody along with the “Strummed Only” track – this is fun and is like jamming with a friend.

So, as you can see, there are loads of fun ways to use the tracks. Most of all, take your time, work on perfecting one song at a time, and enjoy. Your first (or next) five stunning and fun songs await you!
