Just wondering if you guys have any advice on what are some good songs to strum to on acoustic guitar for beginners out there.

Night Moves, by Bob Seger was the first one I learned to do fully.

America - Horse with No Name. Just two chords. I've just been playing guitar for 2 weeks as well!

Stairway to Heaven is ridiculously hard for beginners and it's mostly picking opposed to strumming.

Anything by CCR. You'll only need three chords. :)

Thanks for the ideas so far. I mainly go through the Ultimate Guitar website; they probably have the best free tabs and chords out there. The latest song I am trying to get down is I'm Yours-Jason Mraz with the 4th capo. I am finding it hard getting the strumming patterns right.. Actulaly I only have about 2-3 patterns I go to.. want to expand that a bit haha
