    For reference, who do you sound like? I wouldn't ask someone who sounds like Ray Charles to try Michael Jackson.

    What kind of genres/styles of music do you like? Usually I just practice the songs I like listening to.

    I'm not sure who I sound like, but here's a frame of reference for you (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEpU-MWZPug)

    I like alternative stuff, p!atd, fob, top. I also like Munford & Sons, Sam Smith, Hozier, etc.

    If you like some of the alternative stuff, I think some Fall Out Boy songs would be a good place to start- most of them can be done quite simply, and there are some easier/slower ones to do. Maybe Golden or Lullabye (bonus song from Folie a Deux).
    As for Panic! maybe you'll enjoy playing some of their newer songs, Hallelujah can be a fun song to learn.
    You can check out artists like Brand New and Mayday Parade too.

    Hope any of this helps :slight_smile: Good luck and have fun!

    Wagon Wheel is a fun tune and a crowd pleaser if you like playing for others.

    Do number of the beast by iron maiden. The scream is meant to be really hard to do perfectly.
