what was your first and/or easiest song you learned to play when you were a beginner? thnx for responding.
i want to be the next greatest rockstar. First, I need help.
The first song I learned to play was Brown-Eyed Girl by Van Morrison.

I first learned "I walk the line" by johnny cash. My grandpa told me that if I learned to play a song on this 30 dollar guitar I got at the jockey lot that'd he'd give me his guitar. So I learned his favorite song. I spent 2 days straight learning that song only breaking for food and sleep.

Although I was inspired to play guitar by the wild high gain antics of Joe Satriani, my first song was "Tears In Heaven" because I thought the rhythm part sounded beautiful and it looked pretty easy when Clapton did it :roll:
It took me about a month to learn it with help from my guitar playing friend. Afterwards I learned "Time" by Hootie and the blowfish, and it was AMAZINGLY easy, followed by "Breakfast at Tiffanys" (just D-A-G, then D-G-A) also amazingly easy.
Kinda funny about this topic is that most of these "beginner songs" people are listing are so fun, and I didn't learn them until just recently. "Wish you were here" I just learned a few weeks ago. Learned "Hurt" last week, took me about 3 minutes, but I wish I'd learned it so long ago! My first month was nothing but pure frustration, and all the while I could have been picking up these simple but awesome sounding songs!
I'm jealous of every beginner who finds this site! :D
Great topic.
Do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life...
First song I ever learned properly was "It's All Over Now" by the Stones... D all the way through the verse, A and G for the chorus...then a mate showed me "Knockin' on Heavens Door"...G, D and Am....then a whole raft of songs that went G/Em/C/D. Round bout the same time, I bought the "Beatles Complete" song book and worked my way through that....I cheated though, on most of them I only used the top 3 strings!!!!

My first songs were Big Balls by AC/DC, Wish You Were Here (I guess that's a standard for acoustic guitarists) and Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. I still love to play them, though I often forget I know them at all.
"You know, it eez possible to be too attractive." - Pepe le Pew
"Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes." - Bill and Ted
It was European Son by Lou Reed that got me into playing but the first thing I learned to play was a lesson on this site about simple riffs. Then the first song was The Ocean by Zeppelin i think.
