[Western Rock Edition] Recommended Practice Songs for Beginner Bands [2026] (21–30)
Don’t Look Back In AngerOasis
A rock band whose songs, openly respectful of the Beatles and deeply influenced by them, won support worldwide: Oasis.
This track features catchy, lyrical melodies and an arrangement that brings those melodies to the forefront, making it a very pleasant listen.
The guitar is played mostly with strumming, and the obbligato that appears in the middle of the song isn’t fast, so with a calm approach it’s easy to copy.
The drums change rhythm patterns according to the song’s development and sections, but once you’ve learned the structure, there are no difficult phrases, making it easy for beginner drummers to replicate as well.
Enter SandmanMetallica
They are a quintessential metal band.
Their works have sold over 100 million copies worldwide, yet in their early days—without making music videos during MTV’s heyday and getting little to no radio airplay—they built their fan base the hard way through relentless touring and a long, storied history.
Brown SugerThe Rolling Stones
They’re a legendary band that has kept performing from the 1960s to the present day.
Even if their playing is unpolished, it has character and is widely embraced.
There are plenty of Rolling Stones live videos online, but Mick Jagger’s rock ’n’ roll swagger past his sixties is a must-see.
Rock And RollLed Zeppelin
This is one of Led Zeppelin’s signature songs, often cited as that of the most successful band in the world.
Each member is a top player on their instrument and highly respected by fellow artists.
There’s so much to learn from the band—from Robert Plant’s high-register vocals and Jimmy Page’s guitar work to John Bonham’s thunderous drumming.
NumbLinkin Park
You could say they are a band that represents the 2000s.
The album containing this song, Meteora, has sold 10 million copies worldwide.
The vocalist, Chester Bennington, died by suicide in July 2017.
