My code looks like this

CREATE TABLE Genre (
genreID INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
genreName VARCHAR(20) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (genreID));


CREATE TABLE Artists (
ArtistID INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
name VARCHAR(45) NULL,
Genre_genreID INT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (ArtistID),
FOREIGN KEY (Genre_genreID)
REFERENCES Genre(genreID));



CREATE TABLE Albums (
albumsID INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
name VARCHAR(45) NULL,
Artists_ArtistID INT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (albumsID),
FOREIGN KEY (Artists_ArtistID)
REFERENCES Artists(ArtistID));

CREATE TABLE Songs (
songID INT NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR(45) NULL,
length TIME NULL,
Albums_albumsID INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (songID),
FOREIGN KEY (Albums_albumsID)
REFERENCES Albums (albumsID));

SELECT Artists.name, Genre.genreName, Songs.name
FROM Songs
INNER JOIN Genre ON Artists.ArtistID=Genre.genreID
INNER JOIN Artists ON Albums.Artists_ArtistID=Artists.ArtistID
INNER JOIN Albums ON Songs.Albums_albumID=Albums.albumsID;

Looking to try and get the name of the artists, genre and song to all match up and display. Yet I get 

Unknown column 'Artists.ArtistID' in 'on clause'

Im fairy new to SQL and to INNER JOINS any help and explanations would be great!

Try this

SELECT Artists.name, Genre.genreName, Songs.name
FROM Songs
INNER JOIN Albums ON Songs.Albums_albumID=Albums.albumsID
INNER JOIN Artists ON Albums.Artists_ArtistID=Artists.ArtistID
INNER JOIN Genre ON Artists.ArtistID=Genre.genreID;

check the sequence and occurrence of tables in join

you are mention the Songs table in first row joining. but your joining the table of ON function in last line only like your code, you should try this method:

SELECT 
Artists.name, Genre.genreName, Songs.name
FROM Songs
INNER JOIN Albums 
ON Songs.Albums_albumID=Albums.albumsID
INNER JOIN Artists 
ON Albums.Artists_ArtistID=Artists.ArtistID
INNER JOIN Genre 
ON Artists.ArtistID=Genre.genreID;
