k o r e y Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I just started playing guitar a little bit ago and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some easy Wilco songs to play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jhc Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Misunderstood is a great one D GD GD GG D Handshake Drugs is just D G F (the F might be a pain though) IATTBYH is easy with capo on 2: A [Em D] Box Full of Letters is a little more complicated, but the chord shapes are all easy (D A G Em - capo 2) and once you get it down it's a blast to play.

Gobias Industries Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 tweedy solo sometimes throws in Em A on Misunderstood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Groo Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Is that G D C fingering with the capo on second fret? Indeed. Finger away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 bob dylans beard is G C D (capo 4?)someone elses song is A D E7 (capo 2?) These songs are all much cooler if you throw in some hammer-ons and/or alternate bass notes, but hey, you can certainly get away with just strumming the open chords and singing to your heart's content.

therosycrucifixion Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 IATTBYH: A (hammer on B-string), Em, D (take off high E-string)also, solo spiders is pretty easy, there's a cool riff and then it's just D and some variation of D that i do not know the name of, but you can search for the tab in the archives.

oceanman Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 tweedy solo sometimes throws in Em A on Misunderstood.Oh yeah...where at? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Handshake Drugs is just D G F (the F might be a pain though) Progression goes D to G to F, then D to G to C, rinse, repeat... via chicago... D A and G all the way you might find it easier to play as Jeff does, capoing on the 2nd fret, then playing C, G, F. Whatever's easier on your fingers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Oh yeah...where at? 2005.03.05 Live At The Vic. I noticed it too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim G. from NYC Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 http://www.chordie.com/song.php/songartist/Wilco/index.html and http://www.gumbopages.com/wilco.html These are the two best...I am a beginner who can play slightly more than chords right now, and these pages keep me quite busy...

While some are helpful (accurate), many of them are lacking (even if just in certain parts) and will leave you playing the songs incorrectly... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever's easier on your fingers. I like to capo on 4--sounds cool as well. War on war - A, E, Bm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I like to capo on 4--sounds cool as well.War on war - A, E, Bm I've noticed Jeff playing it higher on some of the solo acoustic shows as well. Via Chicago, that is.... You left out D on War On War, btw... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PageTheSage1275 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 How 'bout Kamera... all Ds, Gs, and As until the chorus, which (if I'm not mistaken) is that nifty A, Bm, G, Bm, A...sure, Bms can be tough for a beginner, but it's a good way to inure yourself to them. Hah...I said Bms can be tough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhc Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 How 'bout Kamera... There are some pretty quick chord changes in that tune which might make it a little tough for the true beginner, but probably a good one for those who have mastered IATTBYH... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Well, Tweedy drop-Ds (or open-Ds) Kamera and does power chords. Shouldn't be bad. yes, there are some more complicated riffs in the bridge, but depending on the version, they're not there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
