Penny royal tea

Still to this day one of the very very small handful of songs I can play all the way through on the guitar.

#25

House of the Rising Sun as my dad taught me to play (it was on his old guitar from when he was a teenager).

When I was teaching myself songs from my own records it was Wide Open Space by Mansun (still one of the few songs I can play all the way through 20 years on)

Came back to this thread to marvel at this. I must find my own copy.

Think ‘So Young’ by Suede was the first one i strummed through, ‘shaker maker’ by oasis first one i played properly.

Hotel Yorba. 3 chords, easy to strum and sing along.

First song I picked instead of strummed, Everybody Hurts. Tedious but good arpeggio practice. First song I enjoyed playing properly was probably Day Tripper. Great riff

#32

Wonderful Tonight by racist bastard Eric Clapton

#33

Was determined to learn Street Spirit, but probably got the hang of Everybody Hurts and When I Come Around faster

#34

Had a random songbook which came with my first guitar and the first thing I learnt was Mull of Kintyre, had never actually heard the song before and this was pre internet so my interpretation was a bit

I Wanna Be Your Dog or New Dawn Fades… and that’s still the only two I might have a chance of playing all the way through

#36

went to guitar lessons and i think the first song we were taught was Lucky Man by The Verve cos it’s only 3 chords
