For loveOkuda Tamio
Tamio Okuda’s guitar is really cool! It doesn’t feel like he’s doing anything overly difficult, but the way he plays, his relaxed presence—he just has such a unique vibe.
I think this song would still sound great arranged acoustically.
to youchiisana koi no uta bando
The band Little Love Song Band was formed from the film themed around MONGOL800’s signature track “Chiisana Koi no Uta,” by the band affectionately known as “Monpachi.” This song, “Anata ni,” was actually performed and recorded by cast members who were beginners on their instruments, making it perfect as a practice piece for novices.
While it’s a rock song, it also shines as an acoustic solo performance.
secret base ~What You Gave Me~ZONE
As a moving song depicting youthful partings and reunions, it continues to stir the hearts of many.
Its story of bittersweet late-summer memories and a friendship sealed with a promise to meet again in ten years leaves a deep impression on listeners.
Released in August 2001 as ZONE’s third single, it was also used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Kids War 3.” Built on an acoustic sound, it’s a mid-tempo number that’s easy even for beginners to play.
It’s perfect for those who cherish summer memories and friendship.
Why not strum an acoustic guitar and hum along with someone special?
I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka
It’s a masterpiece ballad that Yutaka Ozaki left to the world.
In the original, it’s accompanied by piano, but it also shines beautifully on guitar.
Tracing Yutaka Ozaki’s music makes for excellent practice.
This song, in particular, is very well-known, so wherever you go, you’ll find people who know it.
If you want to perform and sing in front of others, it’s a must for your guitar practice.
One more time,One more chanceYamazaki Masayoshi
This is one of Masayoshi Yamazaki’s signature songs, and you can really feel the bittersweet emotion coming through.
As you’d expect from one of Japan’s leading guitarists, the structure of this piece is meticulously crafted.
It’s a bit challenging for beginners, but I think it makes a great practice song for moving to the next level.
Since this song doesn’t use strumming, it also gives you a chance to really learn arpeggio movement.
AiHata Motohiro
This is Motohiro Hata’s 9th single, released on January 13, 2010.
It’s a classic with a bittersweet feel, isn’t it? It’s a perfect song for those who want to play like plucking an acoustic guitar with their fingers.
Since many of the chord changes happen every two beats, it’s also recommended for anyone who wants to test out the chords they’ve learned!
crescent moonayaka
It’s a smash-hit ballad with Ayaka carefully singing a bittersweet melody.
The chord progression itself isn’t particularly difficult, but if you play it plainly, it doesn’t capture the mood.
It’s a good idea to practice adding dynamics to your strumming to create the right atmosphere.
