Probably the first complete song was "Prayer to God" by a band called Shellac. It's only three or four chords and it's fun to play, plus they say the F-word alot..HEHE...did I say F-word. I think the Marilyn Manson version of Sweet Dreams was the next or close to the next.
I was just thinking about this the other day and how many songs I struggled to learn and no I can't even remember how to play many of them.
I think I have the equivalent of musical ADD. I play a hand full of songs for awhile then as I learn a new one, one gets pushed from the rotation and before you know it I foget how to play it.

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
"Wild Thing" by the Troggs. 8)
Rush-Fly By Night, not too tough, took awhile to keep coming back to it though to get the solo down.
Thanks Dudes!

Knockin' on Heaven's Door. Then Wish You Were Here. I started WYWH first but Knockin' on Heaven's Door was much easier.
Well I got this guitar and I'm tryin' to learn how to make it talk.
"Wild Thing" by the Troggs. 8)
ditto!
Psycho Killer by Talking heads was the first complete song i learned, the first riff I learned was from Black Dog by led Zeppelen.
"This Land is Your Land" from a lesson somewhere on-line, though an argument could be made that it was "Take It Easy' by the Eagles. I played the chords on that one, but the 1-2-3-4 strumming made it pretty unrecognizable.
Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down.
My first song wasn't exactly a song but a "riff" : it was the riff of smoke on the water (depp purple).
My first relly song was a french interpretation of house a the rising sun by Johnny Hallyday, it's call "les portes du pénitencier".
i am self taught and i worked through 'wish you were here' with a buddy,
but i would say that i wont be happy until i complete 'father and son' by cat stevens... i am still working on it a year into this crazy instrument :shock:
i want that to be my first song
Can't ALways get What you want by the Stones
Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.
