I am. I play covers and originals but with a Transylvanian accent Count Vlad is Transylvanian. But you’ll see songs like All Along the Watchtower, Stairway to Heaven and other Led Zeppelin songs. It is pretty diverse.

“All Along the Watchtower, Stairway to Heaven and other Led Zeppelin songs...”

###################

Led Zeppelin is not beginner-level stuff.

The original All Along The Watchtower by Dylan is actually fairly simple. The easiest key to play it in uses the chords Em-D-C-D-Em over and over again. Those chords are as simple as they get.

Use the “Tr.” button at the top to transpose until the chords are all Em, D, and C. Learn those chords, then play the song. Start slow. Speed will come.

If you’re talking the Hendrix version with the fabulous solo break in the middle, that’s not newbie stuff. Don’t try to learn that until you put years into learning a WHOLE lot more about guitar. You will just get frustrated, hate it, and never learn the guitar at all.
