Re: First riffs and songs

I clearly remember the very first riff/intro I learned - Limelight.

Some others during the first few months:
Black Dog
Stairway
The Trees
Broon's Bane (I picked up fingerpicking pretty quickly)

Like some others, I didn't learn a complete song until I was in a band and it was Tom Sawyer.

Re: First riffs and songs

Oh, I played in a "band" for a while...we never actually had a gig though and we played all originals...except Zep's "Ten Years Gone", so I guess at some point I knew that whole song.
