I’m new to playing in a band, but I want to practice hard and get on stage…

I want to quickly cover up-and-coming young bands and show off their songs…

There are surely many people—especially teens—who feel this way.There aren’t that many songs arranged with power chords on guitar, root notes on bass, and simple 8-beat drums, but in this article we’ve picked out relatively easy-to-play tracks, including some timeless classics.If there’s any part of the songs we’re about to introduce that you just can’t manage, ask a band-savvy friend to help you arrange it into something simpler, or check out YouTube videos that share beginner-friendly arrangements.

BiSH / Promise the Star [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

BiSH is an idol group known for the catchphrase “a punk band without instruments,” captivating fans with their aggressive songs and live performances.

Their major second single, Promise the Star, lifts your spirits with its driving ensemble and poppy melody.

Since the performance overall is a standard 8-beat, it should be approachable even for beginners with instruments.

However, because the arrangement prominently features piano and strings, it’s a rock tune where the keyboard’s effort will likely be the key.

Love ParadeORANGE RANGE

It’s a song released in 2005 that was chosen as the theme for the film Densha Otoko.

It starts with a memorable A-melody featuring a mic relay by three vocalists, and the chorus has a catchy, familiar melody that’s very appealing.

Since it’s a laid-back rock ballad, it highlights each band instrument’s charm while still being easy to perform—one of its key recommendations.

There’s a guitar solo in the middle, but it consists of smooth, calm single-note phrases, so with repeated practice you should be able to nail it!

In conclusion

I introduced some easy, crowd-pleasing songs recommended for band beginners.

None of them are pieces you can play right after picking up an instrument, but they’re all quite approachable.

Many of the songs feature phrases and rhythms that form the foundation of band performance, so they should also help you level up from here.

Practice a lot, and I hope you can put on a great live show!
