I'm trying to teach my girly to play guitar (i know, i know). what can i start her off with that's relatively simple, i thought the beatles would be a good starting point, but there's some quick chord changes there for a beginner, any ideas?
it may help save me headaches and quite possibly a relationship! ;)

does she know any basic cords?

Jimi Hendrix licks, particularly chord sequences to "All Along the Watchtower" and "Wild Thing". Real simple, but impressive, plus you can play lead over the top and have your own "jams"

maybe figure out some tunes she really loves, and go from there...that way she'll aleady know know the changes / be expecting them

Teach her stuff she likes listening to! teach her something she knows - whoever's guitar playing made her want to play. (unless she has really bad taste!)

Don't confuse the girl.
Or, drop to F sharp too, that'll really bake her noodle

Blackbird - Beatles seems to be a good starter song.

that was my first song on guitar - Blackbird

that's pretty complex for a first song. Well done chaps. Think mine was Losing My Religion, or something.

Have her learn Nirvana songs, they are about as simple as you can get or whatever three chord shit you can get your hands on. Greenday, etc.

ac/dc rhythms are pretty good starters.

powerchords.
learn "america fuck yea" then teach her.
seriously, the riffs are pretty good

some riffs of System Of a down, Nirvana, Green Day, White Stripes can be a good start.
and, of course, Smoke on the water - Deep Purple.
Zing, zing ziiiig ..... ziing zing zi-zing ..... zing zing zing...zinggg zinggggg :D
