Anytime you're looking for beginner folk songs for guitar, Bob Dylan comes to mind. I say that because many of the 20 plus folks songs on the Dylan page you likely won't have any trouble with. Songs like Knocking On Heavens Door, Blowin In The Wind to Lay Lady Lay are good starter songs. Always remember to play rhythm all the way thru any song before getting bogged down in picking. You can always get those sections later on.
