Dinosaur Jr. – Tiny (Official Video)

When it comes to practice songs for beginner bands, it tends to be nothing but classic legendary bands, so I’d like to introduce some of the latest tracks here.

So don’t feel pressured—just go ahead and practice.

Quit itMeat Puppets

Meat Puppets-Quit it

The Meat Puppets are a band that garnered attention because the late Kurt Cobain of Nirvana held them in high regard.

Their sound is somewhat for connoisseurs, so it’s not for everyone, but I think they’re excellent for practice.

Bands like this in the alternative scene value group cohesion over technique, making them suitable for beginners.

Personality CrisisNew York Dolls

New York Dolls – Personality Crisis

Probably the very first band to incorporate makeup and cross-dressing was the New York Dolls.

And this outrageously raw punk sound is also their specialty—doesn’t it feel like they’re playing for fun rather than for technique? Highly recommended rock band.

SeagullRide

Ride-Seagull

Ride and similar bands fall under the shoegaze genre, and this slightly psychedelic guitar sound is always cool no matter when you hear it.

If you perform a song like this in front of a huge crowd at a school festival, you’ll instantly become a hero and be super popular with the girls.

Let’s practice hard.

Wake up Boo!The Boo Radleys

The Boo Radleys – Wake Up Boo!

The intro layers horns and other instruments, giving it a rich sound, but I think you’ll find that once you cut those extra parts, it’s surprisingly simple.

It’s a great piece for beginner musicians to play, and above all, doesn’t it feel like a really fun song?

Boys Don’t CryThe Cure

The Cure – Boys Don’t Cry (Official Music Video) [HD]

The Cure is a Gothic-style 80s rock band that’s popular in the UK but not so much in Japan.

However, a lack of popularity is a separate matter from a band’s value.

Their songs tend to be short, so they’re good for practice.

Down In The Tube Station At MidnightThe Jam

The Jam – Down In The Tube Station At Midnight

The performance is a bit challenging, but what really matters are the feel and the knack.

Once you’ve got those down, you can become a local hero—or a school festival legend—if you’re a student.
