If you’re looking for a song that’s both popular and relatively simple to learn on the guitar, you might consider exploring “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes. It’s one of those tracks that really seems to resonate with listeners, even decades after its original release. The song is built around a four-chord progression, which means it’s accessible for beginners yet still enjoyable for more experienced players.

The greatness of “What’s Up” lies in its simplicity and pure rock vibes. Linda Perry, the band’s lead vocalist, and guitarist created an anthem that’s easy to play and sing along. You’ll mainly use open and barre chords, letting you work on your chord transitions and strumming patterns. The bar chords can be a bit challenging for beginners, but with practice, you’ll get the hang of it. Its simplicity on the guitar does not take away from its power as a piece of music, and it’s a classic that every guitarist should have in their repertoire.
