my only thing I have against wish you were here is that it takes like 20 minutes to learn and it isn't very fun to play :(

Already mentioned it, but worth a repost. Either Rylynn or For My Father by Andy McKee. Somewhat challenging, feels good when you finally nail it though.

depends what you're into:
- master of puppets, ride the lightning by Metallica
- eruption solo by Van Halen (the tapping parts lots of fun)
- any song by Rush (pretty simple)
- any song by Iron Maiden (no too hard)
- any song by Dream Theater (sick band) also Liquid Tension Experiment (lots of shredding)
- Technical Difficulties or Scarified by Racer x (if you can shred as hard as Paul Gilbert)
- or just shred and make up your own stuff

Come up with your own songs. Not as impressive to people that don't know much about playing music but it's so much more satisfying.

Thru teh fire n Flaims - DragonForce
Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson
War - Joe Satriani
Whispering a Prayer - Steve Vai

Those should be good to start with then work your way up to harder stuff.

Even if you did know, you'd have to re-learn how to play in D standard. Elliot Smith was crazy, and his tuning reflects it.

First song I learned on guitar that I really enjoyed playing.

Recently learned Caress Me Down. Took fucking forever to memorize the Spanish lyrics (looking up what they meant in English helped, and is also hilarious), but it seems to be a hit at parties and stuff. And the best part is "take your chones a las mandan a me" (spelled probably wrong) means "take your panties and send them to me", and you can sing that line in English if you want and it still rhymes.

If you can do anything spanish/flamenco you will be pretty much a guitar badass.
Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers are a few good artists that I think you could draw song-inspiration from too.

-What genre of music are you into?
-Do you prefer acoustic or electric?
-Finger picking, strumming or precise picking with a pick?
-Do you want to sing with the songs or just play?
-How good are you? (what can you already play)
-Do you want the song to sound impressive of just feel good to play? (There is overlap here)

Answer these and everyone can help you figure it out.
