Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes

This is typically a song that I like to teach in stages. The main riff is great for beginners who are just starting to wrap their head around changing strings. One important thing about coordinating your left and right hands is to relax your focus a bit so you can look from hand to hand. That means your eyes are not too focused on one hand but looking back and forth between the two. 

As a student gets more confident I encourage them to take on the full song which includes the same melody but played using full power chords. The guitar solo is also a great one for beginners just looking to get used to some of the concepts of phrasing and classic guitar techniques such as vibrato and slides.
