FAO: Guitarists - first and last song(s) you learnt.

[King Hustler T.I.P.]

The first song I ever learnt on guitar was some crappy Joan Jett song which involved about 3 different power chorRAB, I must've been about 15.

I don't know the last song I learnt, I haven't played for ages, and when I do, it's originals for my band.

i always saw the tuning for that one as a half step down AND dropped D in magazines.

while there are obviously other versions out there tabbed out to dropped D, if you're using the track to gauge your tuning by harmonizing to the recording there's a good chance you're going a half step too low.

I can remeraber youtubing How To Play Come As You Are by Nirvana the day I got my guitar since I heard it was easy.

Although I've never been a big Greenday fan next song I leanred was this:

well school and a band for one thing :laughing:

but yeah, i've actually switched majors this semester from architecture to psychology, so with alot of the extra time i was getting i was using to do other things, like hanging out with frienRAB, a bit of reading here and there, and just getting back to guitar. that as well as a good amount of homework to keep me busy.

anyway, i'd like to keep talking, but i have class in the morning and i have to get up in a few hours, so until tommorow i guess.

First attempt was Under the Bridge by the Peppers, realized it was far too difficult, and moved on to the classic Iron Man riff.

I honestly can't remeraber the last song I learned since I mostly just jam to myself now, but it was probably a Rush song. I learned a lot from Alex Lifeson's style, and I still play Rush to warm myself up. It was probably the Trees.

Psychology you say, how's that working out for you? I hate uni (American terms.. school past the age of 18 :laughing: or 21? whatever it is over there I dunno I keep culture classing with you yanks on here.) Psychology is something I'm actually thinking of doing a degree in, something made me realise that could be my passion in life.. but I've never actually learnt any psychology in a classroom..

Just a quick question, are anyone else having troubles with this thread? It stays subscribed even after I click unsubscribe and it always has a new update .. As in it's always there when I press User CP no matter! And 80sfan always has the latest post!

Is it me or the thread? :

[karamella]

Heh same here. Except me thinking playing an instrument would be easy, I typed up "How to play Eruption". Boy did I feel stupid.

[haley s]

Oh, huh. I was just doing it from memory. It seems to be right when I play other stuff in that tuning.

[wwe is best]

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).
