First Song

Niall123

I'm just kinda curious to see what was the first full song that people learn to play. As far as I can remember mine is Elvis - Blue Suede shoes.

jcoote

i don't really play covers even tho i'm in a cover band (figure that one out)...i think it was more than a feelin by boston

House of the rising sun..

Man I hate that song now..

Took me about six weeks to learn it from the guitar teacher.
Out of all the songs with only three chords out there he picks that one to show me.

Good song to learn for a beginner though.

First riff was Enter Sandman
First solo was The Struggle Within
First entire song (every single part of it) was I Disappear.

Yes, I am a Metallica fan

Fusion251

First Riff - Come as you are

First, can't honestly remember, possible Let There Be Rock by AC/DC (twas on bass).

Most recent? Can't recall learning a whole song in a long time... possibly Sober by Tool when I jammed with dabhoys.

The only thing I play all the way through these days is the Prove You Wrong album by Prong, a fantastic bass workout

Last solo I learnt was probably Little Sister by QOTSA

WetDaddy

First song I learned was 'Venus' by... ummmm... Bananarama? A strange one, I know, but my brother decided to teach me the rhythm aspect of it. I think straight after that was 'Everybody Hurts' by R.E.M.

Last song, I wouldn't have a clue! Although I do keep playing the guitar line from Destiny's Child's "Bills Bills Bills" during lulls in practice just to drive the band mad

Hmmm, doesn't really speak much for my musical choices I suppose. The first (and probably only) solo I learned was the MASSIVE 4 bar solo in Gomez's 'Get Myself Arrested'. Around the same time, I learned the bass solo(!) from Violent Femmes' 'Walking On The Water'.

Man, I haven't heard *any* of those songs in such a long time.

First bass line I learned was Milquetoast by helmet
First full song was *probably* 2000 light years away by Green Day.

Over 10 years ago :eek:

Patricide

First bits of a song i learned was come as you are

First bassline i learned was dazed and confused(finger)
First full song i learned on bass was eye of the beholder(finger)

The song i feel most proud to be able to play perfectly with my fingers on bass : holy wars

Parsley

I need to learn some good bass solos to impress people, any suggestions?

Last - Warm Regards by Steve Vai

mickymg2003

Not a gud example of progression but i like the song.

0utshined

I can't remember for sure but I recall playing along to a Cannibal Corpse cover of Zero the Hero soon after I started playing.

mc nuggets

1st riff Smoke on the Water

1st full song Time of your Life, G.D

Last full song Letterbomb, G.D

Quattroste

First Full Song - Wish you were here - Pink Floyd
Last Full Song - Hmmm lets see. eh.... eh....... eh....... eh....... eh..... do bits of songs count?

Beer is Life

First full song without any mistakes was Judas Priest - Breakin' the law.

First solo - First solo in GNR - Knocking on heavens door (badly)

Latest solo - Did both Megadeth - A tout le monde and Sepultura - Troops of doom around the same time.

Mr. CooL ICE

First bass line was probably something like Take A Look Around (!) but from what i remember, the first 'difficult' song i took time to learn was either Fear Of The Dark or Californication

tolosenc

First Solo:Thing Called Love - The Darkness ('twas all the rage back then)
Last Solo: Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd (Hell yeah! oww my poor poor fingers)
First Song: Wild Thing - The Troggs
Last Song: Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Still can't sing and play at the same time though ('cept for two songs -Rory Gallagher - Shadow Play, Wid Thing). Any tips for this? Apparently I have a good voice, so I want to make use of it and not have to ditch my guitar when I do.

Rustar

First bass part, guitar part, and vocals - Uriah Heep's 'Easy Livin'....I had a cheap stereo with 2 cassette units in it, and I found out I could do a poor-man's doubletracking (got pretty sad by the 5th rep or so).

First riff - Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy by Return to Forever

Last solo - my own, basically.....took the 2-bar solo in Blue Oyster Cult's 'Godzilla' and expanded it into a 9-hour affair wherein I hit every note on the bass (twice) and throw horseshoes at the neck while my bandmates go off and get manicures.
