Re: What's the first song you learned on guitar ?

Bob Dylan - Blowin' in the wind.  Played it at a youth camp, they thought it was great.  I was about 12 and very intense..... smile

Re: What's the first song you learned on guitar ?

I picked out the melody lines to "Walk Don't Run" (The Ventures) and "Ghost Riders in the Sky" when I was about 6 years old and could play them all the way through.

But the first song I ever learned the chords and could strum to was some simple G-C-D.  Not sure which one, but I think it was "Fifteen Years Ago" by Conway.
