pieces or some say are fairly basic to start out with

Pieces.

Some Say is kinda bitchy.

Also There's No Solution.

So Long Goodbye may be simple too.

Summer is all power chords, except for the intro, so that's pretty simple.

THT is all power chords. Simple.

Nothing On My Back's probably a step up. It's mostly power chords, but it has some quick chord changes that might mess you up.

In Too Deep or Motivation would be another step up.

Those are pretty good to start with.

probably pieces,it´s only 4 power chords all the song if you want to do it acoustic,then the solo it´s also easy but you need another guitar player,and from the new ones,best of me is really easy,and so long good bye by far also very easy,look at me is also simple but if you´re just starting to play guitar try with so long goodbye and pieces,and i also have an awesome acoustic version of no brains which is basically very easy too,machine gun(minus the solo,which is simple but fast) it´s also very easy but that song it´s more to be used on electric,the rest of sum 41 songs are really fast awesome and sometimes really complicated riffs ,palm muted powerchords which may be really complicated for someone starting to play guitar

If you are just getting started,don´t chosse the bitter end as your first song to learn

Have a nice time

its not the guitar or the amp , it is you. no offcene.but, Deryck has said before his squier sounds awesome and its a cheap axe...Also the actuall model he plays isnt that expensive compared to thousands of other musicians and he sounds great.

a guitar only sounds as good as the person who's playing it.
true fact :)

you should also buy (or download illegally) guitar pro.
you can get pretty much any tab you want on ultimate guitar.
it makes learning the songs much easier

why don't you start practicing on something you can play and then when you feel ready you start playing sum 41?

anyway...I think pieces it's the simplest.
The chords are just:

Verse: E C G D
Chorus: C G D

pretty easy...

I think So Long Goodbye is the easiest after pieces.

If so, i'm also a guitar beginner so i'm on my classic guitar and sum pretty much sounds bad on it (altough i know some riffs and intro of Judas Priest's BREAKING THE LAW :D ).

Anyway, i have large pack of tabs for the guitar pro and it has some sum songs, even lots of, but there's no Pieces and nothing off the new album.

Anybody has guitar pro format (gp3,gp4,gp5) of the songs off Underclass Hero or at least So Long Goodbye? its really sounds easy but i need the tabs, at least for the guitar pro.
