Prince Caspian may be the simplest one - you can do it all with the
"open string" chords that you learn first.

Simple is a prime example of less is more. One of the songs that
turned my impression of the band right around...

Down With Disease ain't bad to pick up;
Horn is cool and basic;
The Horse;
Rift;
Free;
Glide;
Sample In A Jar;

Glide sounds hard as hell! But then, I'm not a guitarist :-)

I am thinking of studio Glide. It is a lot of individual notes, but
one thing important to me as an amateur guitarist is that it is low on
the guitar and combines open strings with fretted notes. This gives a
beginner a step in between many notes where he can position his hand
for the next fretted note. Oh, and as usual, being Phish, the cadence
is immaculate. Fishman is at his best in this song...in fact I am
putting it on now, since you remind me..

Bittersweet always reminds me of Waiting on a Friend by the Stones
