What is the first song you ever learned?

Many of our members have come a long way in playing the guitar. I just got this thought yesterday, and i wanted to post a new thread about it. What was the first song you ever learned to play perfectly on the guitar? It could be a complete song or just a piece of music. But something that you managed to play perfectly, and something which instilled in you the confidence to go on. Me, i got the tabs of All apologies by Nirvana off a site, and i sat and nailed it down. You should have seen me after i learnt it Anyways, so that's that, btw, this is also my 100th post, so congratulate me :

 

Last kiss by pearl jam...

 

Hotel California...eagles

 

some really basic stuff.... come as u are - nirvana

 

Brimful of Asha- Cornershop
In the jungle- REM
Come as U Are
Eye of the Tiger-Survivor
Sorry for the verbal Diarrhoea..I've written abt it in another thread..so excuse pls!!
Cheerio
Menon

 

First complete song ...

Hotel California - Eagles arranged for one guitar - my all-time favourite

first piece on the guitar ...

Bryan Adams - Summer of '69 ... ( fingerpluck intro on D,Dsus2 and Dsus4 )

 

Mine was, Santana Feat Everlast - Put your lights on.

 

First complete song I learnt (first song that I could play it from start to finish correctly without mistakes):
Ode to joy - Beethoven
I learnt it completely from tabs and developed my own finger picking style to play it completely - no other help! next was bourree by Bach

 

hey ananth, that's cool... you're into classics too... have you heard this Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin?

The first song I tried playing was an oversimplified version of Godfather theme... the first proper song I could play was hotel california by eagles.

 

mit b am compkete amatuer ...
my first song dat i learnt to tab was ddlj song...
all have learnt such gr8 songs.. i feel inferior ..
but then to be true i was completely exstatic when i learnt to play the song....
i wont ever forget the song and to play it...

 

Everyone starts out as an amateur gautam, you progress as you go along. To be frank i started out with Twinkle twinkle little star Hotel california seems to a favorite with beginners. I never really tried to play it, sounded too darn difficult. Anyways, still waiting for others to reply

 

May be this'll make you feel a lil better, gautam... I started out with papa kehte hai, got the tabs from IGT but couldn't get the verses so decided to drop it. tried jaadu teri nazar, got it almost right except for the instrumental piece, went on to chords and after a herculian effort got last kiss right. And anybody will tell ya, its one of the easiest songs to be played on the guitar. so, there's nothing wrong with pickin up an easy song, just try n perfect it that's all...

 

first was enter sandman by metallica or probably when you say nothing at all..by ronan keating..

 

hmm...first song i nailed was "my own prison" - creed

 

1st GNR-knockin on heavans door....
2nd ode to joy with power chords
1st piece first solo from KNHD

 

Mine was ^^^ Knockin' On Heavens door - GN'R

First Solo was some green day song frgt the name....

 

First Complete Song as a Lead Guitarist - One - Metallica
First One As A Rhythem Guitarist - Knocking On Heavens Door
As Drummer - Holy Wars - Megadeth
As Bassie - YYZ - Rush

 

I actually learnt Silent Night Bodom Night on drums before Holy wars..

 

Same here. First complete song I learnt on electric guitar was One by Metallica. The last solo (not the fast one...the short one after that which both guitars play) was annoying the hell out of me because I just couldn't get it right.

The first riff I ever tried to learn was Master of Puppets. I was frustrated because I couldn't play it at speed. Took me a few months to get the speed.

The first solo I ever learnt was the intro to Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

I envy you having a drumkit. I can play drums but don't have enough to purchase one. I'm saving up for a TAMA Stagestar.
