Tips fo metal/rock songs to play as beginner

[Kim]

Hi all
I play electric guitar for 6 months now.
I just learned For Whom the Bell Tolls – Metallica. And I really playing that songs, because of the different guitar parts. Other songs i play is mostly an intro or same chords over and over again.
So i am looking for some nice metal/rock songs to play that are not too hard, but fun too play and challenging too. Would be nice if there are multiple nice parts in the song, so not just an intro
Some songs I can play: Polly, Lithium, Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana, but u probably know ), American Idiot, When I come around (Greenday), Seven Nation Army, Zombie, Wonderwall
Also do you guys know some easy finger/solo part to play? I can play Smells Like teen spirit solo, but thats it

Otherwise by RHCP is a nice one, Dirty little girl by burn halo, the river by good Charlotte, everlong by Foo fighters. I’m not that great in judging difficulties of songs but these are the ones I could think of

Thanks, Ill check them out

Hmm, I don’t want to say it’s easy but Nothing Else Matters, including the solo, will provide a good challenge. Maybe Come Out And Play by the Offspring if you are into them? Slither (Velvet Revolver), Jeremy (Pearl Jam), Famous Last Words (MCR), Enter Sandman.

Crazy train is always a fun one.
Whole Lotta Rosie is a blast to play. The verse is based around a blues progression, so it’s fun to play with other people too.
Blink 182 stuff – Lots of power chords, it will really train your hand positions
Back in Black – The verse will get you using chords and hammers and pulls
Sweet Home Alabama – Will teach you how to pick through chords rather than strumming.
Happy playing

Check Go With The Flow by Queens of The Stone Age and Take It To The Edge by Godsmack. You can watch my covers of these two on my profile. Inhale by Stone Sour and Halo by Soil is easy to learn aswell. And for solo try Say You’ll Hunt Me by Stone Sour or Nothing Else Matters.

Thanks Bartosz. Also some nice songs. I have a lot to choose from, so thats nice! Ill checked your covers, great playing man! I want to be that good! I like your bending in Qotsa. I think the Godsmack song is nice to try for me. Ill start with that one and Everlong from FF
Thanks all for the advice for songs

take anything from Green Day or Linkin Park. Most of the songs are pretty basic and leave lots of room for you to improvise.

The rhythm parts of second heartbeat are pretty easy to wrap your head around. Can easily play the simple parts through the whole song and the short little technical parts are a good challenge.
