Make your plans

The most important thing for starting any new work is to do accurate planning. Planning is the first step towards achieving any goal. You have to make approximate estimates about the type of music you want to sell and fix up a price for it. If you plan to employ independent music artists, then you have to know how much their payments would cost you. After allocating their payments and the estimating these costs, you should also know how much profit you would end up making for each CD that you sell. You have to estimate all these figures roughly and make changes in them, before actually implementing this plan.

Budget your ventures

The second crucial step to start your own Record Label is to plan out a budget implementation strategy. You need to be clear about the level of finance you will require to start your own record label along with appropriate financial resources.

You can purchase software for recordings, editing, converting and analyzing your music at an affordable price. Set your small studio or think of other cheap ventures that you can use to record music in order to start your own record label.

Distributing your music

You can distribute your music by making agreements with the existing music companies. Pre-determine the amount that you will need to pay these companies as well as your artists while distributing your music.

Naming and promoting your label

Another important step to start your own Record Label is selecting a proper name for your recording company. Such names should be catchy yet reliable.

There are some songs that never go out of style. The classics that have been able to stand the test of time are known by two or three generations. The same goes for songs people learn to play on guitar. Some songs whether you’re 15 or 50 are just staples you have to learn along the way.

I’ve done some research and pieced together the top 10 songs people learn to play on the guitar. These span a few decades and are not genre specific. So if you’re looking for some new songs to learn this is a great list to start with.

#10 Dust in the Wind

Depending on your age you either remember this song from when it was originally released in 1978 or you’ve heard it in numerous movies over the last 10-15 years. Either way this classic tune by Kansas is an easy to play song for most beginners. All you need to know your basic open chords.

#9 Sweet Home Alabama

The guitar riff at the beginning of Sweet Home Alabama is as memorable as anything that’s every been played on the radio. It’s easy enough to figure out but fun enough to play that beginners absolutely love it. You can learn this song on an acoustic or electric guitar and it sounds great.

HINT: Take some time to figure out that intro lead part and then tie it in with the simple chords for the verse and the chorus.

#8 Smoke on the Water

Another classic riff during the intro of this song makes it another memorable tune. Deep Purple had quite a few classic rock songs, but none other gained the popularity as Smoke on the Water.

#7 Tears in heaven

One of the newer songs in this top ten, Eric Clapton’s, Tears in Heaven, was first introduced to us on his unplugged album in 1992. He wrote the song about the sudden loss of his four year old son in 1991, but has since stopped performing the song in more recent years.

This is a classic tune to learn on acoustic guitar. It takes a bit of patience and practice to play it properly but it’s worth the time.

#6 Brown Eyed Girl

Few song writers have had the longevity of Van Morrison, and his song Brown Eyed Girl is a testament of just how great he is at his craft. This is an easy song to learn for most beginner players, and even more fun if you learn to sing and play it at the same time.

#5 More Than Words

This great acoustic slow song echoed through most high school gymnasiums in the early and mid nineties. Another great song to play and sing a lot of guitar players have learned to play this one for a special someone they love.

#4 Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd is one of the biggest rock bands of all time, and their classic song Wish You Were Here is the fourth most popular song guitar players want to learn. If you’re a beginner I suggest skipping the intro lead section and jumping right to the chords.

#3 Hotel California

Another hit that has stayed with us over the years, Hotel California is a great acoustic song to learn either on your own or jamming with friends. There is more then one guitar part in the song so depending on your current skill level you could learn just the chords or also take a stab at the great lead part and solo.

#2 Wonder Wall

This might seem crazy to some of you by Oasis’s Wonder Wall was a classic acoustic tune from the early nineties. It’s still going strong with beginners thanks to it’s unique chord progression and catchy melody. If you can sing and play at the same time this one is a must.

#1 Stairway to Heaven

It’s probably no surprise that the #1 song people learn to play on guitar is Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. This song has a little something for guitar players of all skill levels.

The intro is challenging for beginners to learn, while the solo is as tough as any for more advanced players.
