Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I was either Three Blind Mice , On Top Of Old Smokey, or Clementine. Whatever the first few tunes in Mel Bay's course in the mid 60's.
Other "real" tunes after I started to play were House of the Rising Sun, This Land Is Your Land (with a Hank Williams twist), He Ain't Heavy, Raindrops Fallin on My Head... Ahh yes, the 60's it was a strumming paradise. |

Location: Indiana | As I remember, it was either "Pipeline" or "Let's Go" from a "Learn to play with the Ventures" album. Strangely enough it was Vol II. Ther were 4 songs on it. "Let's Go","Pipeline", "Wipe Out" and "Out of Limit". It was actually my brother's labum. He never did learn how to play.

Ab I've used that book, but the best version of that song was in a book called "The Guitar styles of Simon & Garfunkel". Unfortunately I have lent that and it never came back. Anyone have a copy they'd be willing to sell (or make a copy of)? |

What's the first ever song you learned on the guitar?
