Answer 8

There's no such thing as "must learn" pieces.  If you ask that, people are going to come in with everything from "Lucky Man" by ELP (which is only really two chords), to "Django's Tiger" or some of that incredibly complex stuff from Segovia.  

What songs do you like?  Learn those.

If you're looking for some suggestions, "American Pie" is easy.  So is "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and both are fairly simple for beginners.  For a little more complex stuff, try "Blackbird" by the Beatles.

Answer 14

Umm, try green day, the song "good riddance(time of your life) It always comes up at group events.

Also learn friends in low places by garth brooks.

blister in the sun is a necessity.

Answer 15

you don't HAVE to learn anything lol.

learn songs that you love, songs that you and your friends can enjoy while you play. Classic and current. Some Beatles songs, some current songs like jason mraz or something. Whatever you and your friends are into. Learn some basic chords like A, C, G, F, and D and you will be able to play hundreds of basic songs.

www.ultimate-guitar.com is one of the best sites to get good tabletures.
