How I Practice Piano

This is good advice. Knockin on heavens door is the perfect beginner song, although at ultimate guitar I think the most popular version uses a capo, just ignore that and play the chords.

I like ultimate guitar a lot, there are often simplified versions of songs so you can make rewarding progress early.

If you want something simple but need a noisy thrash, the next song could be Neil Young "Rockin in the free world", easy to make that sound good even if you don't have a great singing voice.

I pay for an ultimate guitar subscription. I like the website okay, but I found that my copy of guitar pro is a bit better.

Ultimate guitar would do everything I need if it had a way for me to highlight sections and then hit a a shortcut to restart the section.

I pay for it too. If I hear a song I want to play I want to get straight into it.

What I would really like though is something like 'lead sheets' which just tell you the chord progression and tab the main theme, so I can jump straight into my own version of a song.

Yeah I can't say the UG website is anything special, the scrolling feature is pretty useless without being able to limit it to smaller sections of the pieces as you said.

Mostly I pay for the breadth of songs available.
