ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Loop & Loop”

When you want to get the crowd pumped at a school festival or your first live show, it’s common to struggle with song selection.

For beginner bands, I recommend “Loop & Loop” by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.

The song features catchy guitar sounds and melodies, and because the rhythm is steady with few complex changes, it’s easy to play.
