So I was reminiscing the other day about what song(s) I learnt when I first took up the guitar and I was wondering what songs other forum members' learnt.
The first riff I learn was Smoke On The Water, because it was really easy and my Dad is a big Deep Purple fan so learning that riff was a big part in convincing my Dad that this was a good instrument to continue with!
Other songs included a couple of Blink ones, especially Dammit, and The Click by Good Charlotte. I was listening to some GC for the first time in years (probably since I learnt that song) and the memories came flooding back. It's quite a simple song but to learn it fully when you're starting out is a great feeling.
Also, many Oasis songs too. I think almost every British kid who is learning the guitar, will at one point or another be able to pull out Wonderwall or Morning Glory from his repertoire!
