Caevan O’Shite Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Funky thread ya lovebirds have going here. The first song that I learned all the way through was Roxanne by the Police. (Or should I have said lairnt?) It was this little gem of a song that introduced my beginning little guitarist's mind to minor and major 7ths, suspended 4ths, etc. I was changed, and have played few garden-variety "E"- and "A"-shaped barre-chords ever since. By the way- I, for one, would greatly appreciate it if you would edit the alleged word "nigger" out of the preceding posts, Drum Groove. I doubt that DJarrett is on your side on that front. Go on, I know you can be creative and come up with a better word than that. Right?

aj2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 My first guitar I got 26 years ago I started learning a Beatles tune on one string, "Hey Jude" I think. First actual riff I could play was "Stairway to Heaven"....blegh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caevan O’Shite Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I'm not trying to tell anyone what to think or believe- just to keep racial slurs out of the forum. When I was in Army Basic Training years ago, we had a 6'6" MONSTER of a Drill Instructor who was in charge of "Racial Tensions". To his credit, he didn't put up with the term "Whitey", either. Man, be glad- be very glad, Drum Groove, that he's not the forum moderator here...

Blue Strat Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 First song I learned to play on my guitar was "Crazy Train". Actually, I'm not sure if "Crazy Train" came first or if "Smoke On The Water" did. And please refrain from using offensive language here, there are children present (anyone under 21).

Wow Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 "Hot For teacher" by Van Halen it only took me half an hour, and i had figured it out on my own without tabs, it wasn't that hard Let me get this straight, you had never played guitar, and then you picked one up and 30 minutes later you could play "Hot for teacher"?

southpawstrat Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles. I think I was 6 years old (or something like that) and my teacher brought out a bunch of Beatles tunes to help me learn chords, and that was the first.

Dave da Dude Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Geenard Skeenard, Red River Valley..... Hey Geenard, THANKS! Now mine won't sound QUITE so bad. The riff/lick for "A' Soalin", an old English Christmas Carol as performed by Peter, Paul and Mary (I know, WHO? ) I even still like it today, it's got a lingering, haunting sound to it. Nowadays though I add the 6th string 'E' to it too (it uses hi 'E' and 'B' from open to 5th fret) and pluck the 'E's together. BTW, I think my second song was the chords (D, G & C) for "Blowin' In The Wind", first PP&M style, then Bob Dylan style. And that's the whole (Folk) story. Now for the first "Rock" song(s), "Smoke On The Water", "Brown Sugar" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash"; all at the same time, rhythm (and intro) chords. Dave Gotta' geetar... got the amp. There must be SOMEthing else I... "need". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strat0124 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Yeah Dave, I was surprised to hear the first songs people played, to hear somebody actually learned a complex song as their first song, kinda makes me think they were ashamed to tell their actual first song. Then again, there might be a bunch of little Mozarts around here!

Tim Clark Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I've Just Seen a Face by the Beatles. Got the solo and everything I actually have a vhs tape of me playing it for the first time, when I was 8 or so. Definitely is an ego boost to watch it and see how far I've come.

gtrpir8 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 First song was either the Beatles' Rocky Racoon or a version of Chicago's Beginnings, quickly followed by Yellow Submarine - all basic chord stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
