Should I stay or should I go, London Calling -can leave in root notes only (a bit harder) Clash
Come as you are, Smells like teen spirit Nirvana
Learn to Fly Foo Fighters
Let's dance David Bowie
Orange Crush REM
Are you gonna be my girl Jet
Remedy - Black Crowes
Friday I'm in love - Cure
Every breath you take - Police
Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams will teach to go to 7th 12th 15th fret
Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
Where is my mind - Pixies
With or without you - U2
La Garange - ZZ Top easy and builds up speed
New Year's day - U2 can seem intimidating but run it slow and it will come quickly faster.
Alex chilton Replacements can also seem intimidating but run it slow and it will come quickly faster.

I've run out of good ideas, and he's only 10 so not old enough to realize that I'm not cool at all....although he probably has some idea.

His favorite genres are 90s alternative and mid to late 2000s rock. Can't do anything slap bass, says it's too hard as of now

Songs that were tried and too hard

Pain Lives on the Riverside
Superstition
Hysteria (Muse)

Songs that he's played in performances before and loved

Say It Aint So
Show Me How to Live
Beverly Hills
Zombie
Seven Nation Army
Paint it Black
Freefallin
