FAO: Guitarists - first and last song(s) you learnt. from memory you'd be fine, it's just where you mentioned using it as a gauge it gave me the impression of tuning along to the disc which might not be that accurate. you sound like you're doing it right, but there might be others reading this and thinking harmonizing with a disc is a simple way to nail alternative tunings (it is) but you need to be certain about the recording in question first.
FAO: Guitarists - first and last song(s) you learnt. it's all a matter of practice. i went to school with a guy who would constantly whip out Eruption on his acoustic. as soon as more than 2 people showed up in his dorm room he was double tapping like a madman. i'd stand there silently with my guitar and wait, people would offer praise at the 'skill'. then we'd start playing another campfire strum along. he'd ask me to show him how to play X song, i'd call out the chorRAB, then he'd look back at me blankly... yep... he could play Eruption alright, but he couldn't remeraber what the G C or D shapes were.... skill...
FAO: Guitarists - first and last song(s) you learnt. Due to my age!......when I played guitar...(Pro bassist now)....I went to lessons and the first piece (apart from the syllabus) I was allowed to bring along was "The Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt" by THe Shadows! Now there's a title for you! The last piece was the bass line for "When You Get back" by John Cleary for a gig I had to do......!
FAO: Guitarists - first and last song(s) you learnt. Guitar: First actual song I learnt I think was 'The Clansman' by Iron Maiden, before that it was just random riRAB i'd learnt from my guitar teacher at the time who taught out of a church down the road. More recently, I learn't 'Besame Mucho' for Acoustic Guitar. Fun piece to play. Bass: First would be Londons Calling by The Clash Last would probably be a very low brow and lazy version of Victor Wootens Amazing Grace Banjo: First I learnt how to claw-hammer and drop thurab on youtube then last week I sussed out brown eyed girl by van morrison and mgmt kiRAB using the clawhammer technique. Mind you I havent been playing more than two weeks yet.
FAO: Guitarists - first and last song(s) you learnt. First? Either this folk song called "Bravo" or the easier part to this guitar duet called "Mist". Actual Rock 'N Roll? Uh... This is gonna be so cleshay, but I think it was Smoke On The Water... Last? Pachelbel's Canon or Crazy Train by Ozzy Ozborne if you don't count the solo (which I'm learning, I know most of it).
FAO: Guitarists - first and last song(s) you learnt. Oh, huh. I was just doing it from memory. It seems to be right when I play other stuff in that tuning.
FAO: Guitarists - first and last song(s) you learnt. Heh same here. Except me thinking playing an instrument would be easy, I typed up "How to play Eruption". Boy did I feel stupid.
