Guitar/Campfire Diploma/Song Examples

= Songs for the Campfire Diploma =
 * Over 100 practice songs for the first 6 chords

In this appendix you will find all the practice examples from the campfire diploma and other well-known songs from commercially available songbooks. So that this guitar course can continue to be made available free of charge and can be printed cheaply as a book, we have omitted songs with copyright from the Wikibooks. Nevertheless, the compilation should show you that you can put together a full-length program with just 6 chords and a handful of strumming patterns.

All 200 suggestions are available within two months. Suggestions with copyright often include the chord progressions next to the YouTube search link. You have to look up the lyrics and melody in the songbook. Some of the chord suggestions and the accompaniment (strumming patterns) have been considerably simplified.

These songs are a good place to start playing the guitar.

Only the following major and minor chords are accepted as simple chords:
 * A D G C Em Am E

Any additions such as 7 or slash chords (bass notes that are under a fraction bar) can be ignored for the time being. Example: Instead of G7 you play G, and instead of D/F# you play D.

If a song is too low for you, or the sound example on YouTube is higher than the chords given here, you can use a capo.
