I'm not entirley sure if this has been asked before but I'm curious.

What's the first song/solo you learned to play on guitar or bass?

The first song I learned to play was Come As You Are By Nirvana, and the first solo I learnt was the Smells Like Teen Spirit Solo haha

First song I learnt on bass was Come Together by The Beatles (Not By Choice, had to stand in as a bassist for a local band to play that song for a one off gig)

The first song I learned to play was Come as You Are by Nirvana, and the first solo I learned was the Smells like Teen Spirit solo!

My friend taught me james bond on a bass. I later found out you could play it exactly the same on guitar

Haha, quite funny that we both learnt the same things when we first started. I've completley forgot them both now and don't intend to re-learn them as I dont like Nirvana anymore.

I can play the main riff of both songs, but that's about it. Wouldn't take long to relearn though, but I don't intend to either.

lol i think my first solo was the "smoke on the water" solo...and it wasn't ..actually that easty

I think the first song i learned was seek and destroy by metallica and the first solo i learnd was the intro solo to sanitarium

The Godfather tune here... Was funny... long ago.

Cheers!

The intro to Metallica - One

The first solo i tried to learn was first One solo, but without much luck

first song tnt by ac/dc 1st solo eruption by eddie van halen...which took a while mind u

the first 2 things i really got down perfectly were the intro to Enter Sandman, and the intro to Good Riddance by Greenday

The first melody I learned was Gorillaz - Starlight actually, but the first whole song was Coldplay - Fix You

Funny! Smells like teen spirit was the first solo for me as well

I think the first song i learned was Carousel by Axel Rudi Pell

I think that's the case for a lot of people!

Good Riddance - Green Day, or might have been the intro clean part to sanitarium.

Hmm, a first song... let's see, something from local rock band, very famous here called Riblja Corba (good ol' shelter days - ''dva dinara druze", "dobro jutro", "muzicari koji piju"....)

First song I learn on guitar was Come As You Are also. First solo I learnt was to Sappy by Nirvana and Here Comes Your Man by The Pixies.

First Bass song I learnt was Man On The Moon by REM

I kinda learned all these songs in like one week and just practice them every now and then

Breaking the Law -Judas Priest
Becoming the Bull- Atreyu
My Heroine intro- Silverstein

My first song was ''For whom the bell tolls'' by Metallica and the first solo I learned was the ''Enter Sandman'' solo when I bought my wahwah

Hehe, seems like a fair few learnt something by Nirvana first...Can you still play the Smells like teen spirit solo Marcus?

My first song was the intro from Metallica's Nothing else matters
The solo, hmmm I think it was Knockin' on heavens door first solo

I learnt a bunch of Christmas carols on bass for a party that I played at. The first entire song that I learnt on guitar was One by Metallica. That song was the entire reason I started playing guitar. Classical taps by David Wallimann sure helped out for the mega solo.

The first two parts of the electric guitar in Iron Maiden - Afraid to Shoot Strangers ^^

Not really proud of, but together with my electric guitar i bought a Scorpions songbook. Every afternoon when i came back from school i played the complete "World Wide Live" Album. First air guitar only and then more and more correct cords. Very busy tour schedule ..

... i still own something to my family to have stand me in this time

Hm, I can't remember which the first song that I learned completely
But the first solo I learned was of a song called Schrei nach Liebe by a national famous band called Die Ärzte and I still know how to play it

First complete song i learned was either the marilyn manson version of sweet dreams or fully alive by flyleaf (Cant remember). First Solo i learned was the opening solo to Fade to black by metallica.

i think it was three blind mice or somthing

haha old school three blind mice

three blind mice.......... heavy metal version????


(something to think about intructors! )

.......seriously though.......

I think it was 'King of Fools' by Edguy.

Nothing else matters, by Metallica.

Wonderful tonight by Eric Clapton.

The first song i learned how to play on guitar was Hells Bells by AC/DC but i could never quite get the solo.

So instead i learned the first solo in Nightrain by Guns N' Roses

"The first song I learned to play was Come As You Are By Nirvana, and the first solo I learnt was the Smells Like Teen "

Those are the exact ones I learned first!

A lot of early Black Sabbath. I think Iron Man was my first song, without the solo of course.

My first solo was Hanger 18 by Megadeth.































Just kidding I think it was Enter Sandman.

lol the first solo (and song in general) that i learned was smell like teens spirits too
the solo seemed so dificult at the time

Mine must be Stairway to Heaven (the shame!!) and second was Green River (by CCR). First solo wass "You shook me all night long"
2 years later i find myself covering Meshuggah.....people change

well my first song was also Stairway to heaven, but the first solo was from nothing else matters from metallica, which by the way was suprisingly easy as I couldn't even play the intro to that back then!

I HATE Stairway and LED ZEPLINE I DONT CARE IF I SPELLED THEIR STUPID NAME RIGHT

The first solo I leanred to play as a whole was the solo from Opeth's song When from My Arms Your Hearse. Alltough, I recorded it and if I listen to those recordings now I hear that it's really sloppy and everything. I can play it a bit smoother now though, but I'm not very clean at the sweeps in the end. (Wich I obviously alternate pick and not sweep, seeing as how cool I am)

Wow, that was unnecessary...

Meshuggah wouldn't exist if it wasn't for zepplin.

First song I attempted to learn was actually Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin. I learned some of it, then realised it was too hard.

First whole song I learned was really Californiacation by The Red hot Chili Peppers. And that was my first solo too. I though I was so badass that I could play it, thought it was fast at the time too.

I loved my early days of guitar playing. Miss my first guitar instructor. . Had some good jams with him.

It's been about 1 1/2 years of playing daily for me and I still have not learned anything anyone would recognize unless they just happened to be a member here. So, I am thinking when I can finally play in front of someone (without them covering their ears) they will think I sure do know a lot of cool licks. He's so original. ;-)



Really? Are you sure? I am not a big fan of Led Zepplin but I like this song.

i no this is guitar blasphemy because i get a lot of crap about it at home . . .

I HATE JIMMY PAGE TOO

haha

Take it back!!!

I don't really like Zepplin either but I do like Stairway to Heaven, I do get alot of crap for not liking them also.

How a musician is able to HATE another musician ... something what will never go in my brain.
