warm up songs are always good, I'll give it a listen as I've never heard it before.

Or you could just play Hallelujah a lot. And it goes like this, the IV, the V, the minor fall, and the major lift...

Thirded. If you like Lily Allen also check out Rilo Kiley. "Portions For Foxes" and "A Better Son/Daughter" are two of my favorite warmup/cooldown songs. Three chords, catchy, fun to play.

Haha, who doesn't love that song?

Come Together by the Beatles is surprisingly easy. And you have a slide that is easy as well. Plus.... the bass part is great

I'm actually working on this song right now too. Love that slide.

[morgansterne]

fascination street by the cure.

repetitive as heck, but key to the song. if you can nail that riff fifty times in a row, you're ready to join a band.

Running with the devil - van halen very simple

[RxFunk]

So many songs in here I've never heard before. I need to get crackin' on some new music.

Oooooh, I want to learn this one, thanks!

A some of songs in first learned were:
Jesus just left Chicago by ZZ Top
Green Onions by Booker T & the MG's
Holy Diver by Dio
Unchain my heart by Ray Charles
These songs helped me get in some good ear training because the bass is so prominent. They are also fairly easy to play.
