Yeah try just about anything from Green Day. Guy knows maybe like 3 chords.

Tom Waits-Goin' Out West

 

Edit-not "Movin'" as I originally thought. I don't know why I waited so long to bother listening to much Tom Waits when I was already sure I'd be satisfied. Guy's awesome.

I'd try out Stone Temple Pilots' Plush - the verse has a G-D-F-C progression that covers a ton of movement. If you don't have the G-D shift down after playing it ten or twenty times, it probably isn't going to ever happen for you.

 

Plus, the song doesn't sound terrible when you're playing it slow, meaning less chances to get frustrated by the lack of musicality while you're speeding up.

If you want to learn chords, John Denver. Seriously.

The world's gayest band, Manowar, does as well, only I believe they call it Sting of the Bumblebee. Metyl.

 

I just recently learned to play Big Swifty, which is god damn difficult in parts.

Seek live versions of Big Swifty. Rare instance where they're better than the studio cut. YCDTOSA Vol. 1 has an excellent performance of it, and a solo I can't touch. "The Bebop Tango" off Roxy and Elsewhere borrows that eight count breakdown on the bass and percussion but is otherwise different and completely impossible to play.

 

Vol. 2 just has the climax of Swifty preceded by a hilarious rendition of "Montana."

That'd almost probably cover the 70's.

 

Guy was so prolific it makes me barf.
