Some of them are very popular, and you’ve probably heard them before – especially if you’re a rock fan.
To be able to play the songs you hear on your favorite radio station, you need to have a bit of experience, so trying to start playing difficult songs such as “Enter Sandman” by Metallica as soon as you pick up your first guitar will leave you disappointed.
