Hi Folks,

Many of my close friends are going away to University in the next month.
I'm a new guitarist but would love to learn a tune to play for them.
Something simple and easy to sing but on topic of "change", "miss you", or "going away", that type of theme.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I just cut together a commemorative vid for a friend who's moving away to the song "405(acoustic)" by Death Cab For Cutie. Sometimes a song that doesn't scream farewell can be just as effective smile.gif


If you're a beg guitarist, what's more classic than Good Riddance?

I laughed way to much at that.

Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.

"In My Life" by the Beatles; "Old Friends" by Simon and Garfunkle; and, if you wanna try something a bit different....
