Re: First song you played on a guitar

The first song i learned on the electric guitar was Smoke on the Water. My brother had gone to a guitar lesson and the teacher had given him that so i learnt it aswell. My brother then stopped a couple of lessons later and I took his guitar big_smile

I couldn't tell you what the first song i learned on the acoustic was, i'd been playing the electric for a couple of years before i bought an acoustic.

Re: First song you played on a guitar

First acoustic song was - the Beatles "From me to you"

First electric song was - Pink Floyd "Wish you were here" (first solo I ever played)

I haven´t developed much since then!  lol

Re: First song you played on a guitar

The Rolling Stones Wild Horses - strummed (poorly) on my electric Les Paul copy.  That was my first real song...I'm sure my Mel Bay level 1 book had some simple "tunes" that I had to learn to complete my lessons...but I never counted them as songs.

I also learned Ode To Joy on Acoustic--but I learned Hells Bells on Electric.
