"easy" is very subjective.

I found "Fly Away" from Lenny pretty simplistic.

A kinda "slap-slide-pop" formula. (listen for the ghost notes, too)

Have a blast!

EASY EASY is Pop Life by Prince. You just hit the root, and then an octave above it, and follow the chord sequence. I recorded a version of it - well - and sang "I would die 4 u" over it, but you can hear what I'm talking about.

It's very easy, not rushed, octaves so you're not chasing your fingers all over the place.

www.beaurocks.com - scroll down the player - it's at the bottom. If you want the mp3 to practice to, I'll hook you up.

It's just G, F#, A, A, (and then walk up C#-D if you feel like it, and then repeat).
