Topic: Songs you learned first.

What songs did you guys learn when you were just starting out on guitar? Finding songs that are at my level is really hard for me for some reason. I was hoping somebody might be able to suggest some.

Does anyone have suggestions on some easy songs for a beginner? Maybe the first one you learned?

Re: Songs you learned first.

Some people may hardly remember which song actually they started with their guitar life. I started with "Hotel California - The Eagles" and "Every Breath You Take - The Police". I would suggest newbie to start with "Hotel California" because in this song you will get familiar with general chords.

Re: Songs you learned first.

The first time I ever considered myself able to play a song on the guitar was when I learned a blues riff in "A" - all it was was a 12-bar blues playing nothing but the bass notes but damn was I proud of myself.

Re: Songs you learned first.

Iron Man
House of the Rising Sun
Hey Hey My My

and believe it or not.... Stairway to Heaven

I thought everyone learned Iron Man to start!

Re: Songs you learned first.

I started out with Californication - Red hot chili peppers.

Really easy and i was totally proud when i could play it without messing up.

although i did skip the five finger chords or whatever big horrible chords that song has got.

Also Metallica - Enter Sandman

Another easy song with a faster pace.

Re: Songs you learned first.

Well, I started learning the usual beginner songs, and googled like crazy for easy songs to play once I discovered a few chords.

Knocking on Heavens Door etc...

I felt these haulted my progress, so I decided to find some of my favourite songs of the moment and no matter what chord I would learn them.

I would reccomend this to all, pick a song you like, or love, and you know inside out rather than something thats popular cause its easy. You get so much more from it.

I learnt.

Dont Look Back Into The Sun and Time For Heroes by The Libertines.

Helped alot with Barre chords.

So my advice after 7 months? Learn soemthing you like and know.
