a fricking beatles song. I learned the piano chords for Hey Jude. That doesn't really count though. The first song that I learned the actual music to was Hit the Floor by Linkin Park. That was when I started to grow out and away from the Beatles and started to develop a taste for hard rock and metal and stuff like that. a fricking beatles song.

Uhh.... *thinks back 6 years ago*
It was before I liked metal, so I think it was "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day.

"Brain Stew", by Green Day. Pretty easy chord progression, even knowing that I'm not a br00tally skilled guitarist. "Brain Stew", by Green Day. Pretty easy chord progression, even knowing that I'm not a br00tally skilled guitarist.

I think it was either Back in Black or Smells Like Teen Spirit, maybe some other really generic kind of song that everyone learns. I think it was either Back in Black or Smells Like Teen Spirit, maybe some other really generic kind of song that everyone learns.

Well, I figured out how to read tabs all by myself while looking at a tab I printed out for "Sad Statue" by System of a Down. I couldn't play it though (I didn't know what a hammer-on was, I just figured out what the numbers and lines meant). The first song I actually learned was either "Swing Life Away" by Rise Against or "Good Riddance" by Green Day. My musical tastes have progressed a lot since then...

i think i first learnt Kill You by Korn but i don't really bother learning songs, it seems like a waste of time trying to play someone elses song when you could be playing your own songs. i think i first learnt Kill You by Korn but i don't really bother learning songs, it seems like a waste of time trying to play someone elses song when you could be playing your own songs.

would any of you believe me if I said Far Beyond The Sun was the first song I learnt ALL the way through? To be fair, all I had been doing before hand was scales, and I did know many a song partially the way through. would any of you believe me if I said Far Beyond The Sun was the first song I learnt ALL the way through?

La Bamba by richie valens.. but I haven't learned the solo. I just wanted to learn something quick and easy.. thus from learning that song, I learnded the 1, 4, 5 progression, which lead me on to more songs. But the first song I learnt note by note was El Farol by Carlos Santana. La Bamba by richie valens.. but I haven't learned the solo.
