Beginner Guitar Songs

Here is the classic song from Bob Dylan – “Heaven’s Door”. This is a must learn for beginning guitarists, as it has the three most used chords in songwriting, Dmajor, Cmajor and Gmajor.

Once you have these three chords down. you will be able to move ahead on playing, and start into Barre Chords. 

The song first came into the public as part of the classic cowboy movie Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid. Below is a quote from Wikipedia.org about the song.

“Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” is a song written and performed by Bob Dylan for the soundtrack of the 1973 film Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid. It reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. In 2004, representatives of the music industry and the press voted it #190 in Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time issue.

The song has been covered by many bands that include Guns N’ Roses and Babyface.

This is known as a “common ground” cover song for many guitarists and bands, and should be learned by any cover band to let other artists and performers join in.
