I have been playing acoustic and Electric Guitar for about 3 and a half years now.

When I first began playing I found out that certain songs were equally as easy to learn on both electric and acoustic Guitars, others while easy on electric were a little more difficult on acoustic, and vice versa.

The reason being is that the "action" on a guitar be it electric or acoustic varies form guitar to guitar.

The "action" is the distance between the strings and the fret board. Ideally, a nice low action is the best for a number of reasons, the main reason being it makes playing guitar easier.

High Action makes it uncomfortable and difficult to press the fingers down on notes.

The bad thing about High Action is that it will impair your ability to progress on the guitar if it's not fixed. You can take it to any reputable guitar shop and they'll know how to take care of it.

Low Action is key. It makes pressing the fingers down on notes more comfortable and easier. You do not want to the action to be "too low", the strings will buzz on the frets and affect the sound of the guitar.

Back to the original question, I find that Layla by Eric Clapton is very easy on an acoustic and electric. (It's only 3 chords)

Highway To Hell by AC/DC isn't very hard either A chord G chord and D are the only 3 you need to play the main riff.

In both songs it's all about how you do the picking pattern that makes it recognizable as to what songs they actually are.

Wild Thing by Chip Taylor, uses the same exact chords as Highway To Hell.

Very easy to learn...again, it's all about how you strum.

Good Luck and Have Fun.
