What was the first song you learneed to play?

[H8Red442]

Helpless -- Metallica

[krimson]

Either, Mary Had a Little Lamb or Jingle Bells I can't really remember which song was presented to us first in my guitar class in high school.

I'm pretty sure that the first song I learned on my own was Talk Dirty to Me -Poison. Say what you will about Poison, but that opening guitar riff on Nothing but a Good Time is the whole reason I play guitar.

One of my favorite songs ever. Just a great rock 'n' roll party song.

[wakeUPdead]

Boston - Peace of mind
Lynyrd Skynyrd - All I can do is write about it

One of those I do believe.

[rjohnstone]

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
I was 4.

[Spivonious]

Metallica - Enter Sandman

I still have a recording of me "playing" that song like two weeks after I got my first guitar. It's hilariously bad!

[petedz]

A bunch of classical stuff. First performance, age nine, was Spanish Dance in front of my entire elementary school. There was a violinist in my school who was a better musician than me, but I wasn't bad. Still a fun song to play.

wrathchild - iron maiden

[lerxstcat]

I Don't Need No Doctor - Humble Pie

[shobet]

Err... Warewolves of London by Warren Zevon

[Thoraby]

RHCP - otherside. A nudered version anyhow.

For Whom the Bell Tolls - the good Metallica

[69buickman]

At least you didn't have to worry about tuning up before practicing... :ROTF:

If I remember right it was "I Love Rock and Roll" by Joan Jett for me...

Nice
