No woman no cry I think is a very easy song to play.

Patience is dead easy, even the first part of the guitar solo is worth learning.

I think Big Yellow Taxi would be awesome on banjo. I think Better Man would be hard. The guitar riff from Lithium makes a lot of sense when played on guitar but I can imagine it being problematic on banjo

You Are My Sunshine is super easy, and would be super sweet on a banjo.

Good advice. I am thinking Sunshine might be the next one to learn.
