Hello! It’s Nostalgia here, back at it again with another anime song list for guitarists. I have written a few already, 25 Easy Songs, 15 Easy Solos, 50 Power Chord Songs, 20 Funky Rhythm Songs, and 25 Epic Licks and Riffs.
In this article though, I’m going to make an ongoing list of songs I have found on Songsterr that have specific guitar skills that one can practice with, such as bends, slides, and tapping. The songs listed would have more than just a couple, to ensure you get more opportunities to practice them.
I will list the links to the song and tabs, along with the BPM, but I won’t add the videos to the list as I’m sure this will get quite long, and I don’t want the page to be too slow for you to browze through.
If you’re not sure how to read tabs or aren’t familiar with what certain techniques look like, please check out my Ultimate Guide To Tabs article.
If you have any song suggestions, please leave a comment! Let’s make this the best list for musicians who love anime!
