Re: your first song

First song - geeze, must have been 30+ years ago from a mel bay book or something. Probably Mary Had a Little Lamb.

Hardest current song - Anything by John Prine - simple chords, but I am struggling with the fingerpicking!

Rule No. 1 - If it sounds good - it is good!

Re: your first song

Re: your first song

My first song that I learned complete was Derek and The Dominos "Bell Bottom Blues". It never has sounded 1/1,000,000 as good as this;

My most challenging song to date is probably Django Reinhart's "Manoir De Mes Reves"

Give everything but up.

Re: your first song

The first song I played correctly on a classical guitar was "Greensleeves"
I guess it's Eric claptons "Tears in Heaven" which I took the trouble to learn correctly.

Re: your first song

Depends on what you mean by PLAY!  My first song was I believe Fiddlers Green by Stereophonics.  I can strum several songs now but can't do melodies, fills and things!

The hardest I can do at the moment is probably Ziggy Stardust, strumming the chords and singing along.

cheers

I'm the son of rage and love

Re: your first song

My first song was "Michael Rowed The Boat Ashore". The hardest is "Stairway To Heaven" still haven't mastered it yet but I will, one day.

My life is brilliant... Of this I'm sure.

Re: your first song

My first was "Danny Boy" and the hardest was "Kiss him Goodbye".
However I didn't play the last 25 years and for the moment just "Danny Boy" seems hard...

Re: your first song

My first played the way I wanted to play it was "Forever and Ever Amen".  I have not yet learned a song played the "right" way but am working on "Changes In Lattitudes, Changes in Attitudes" by Jimmy Buffett.  It's a pretty easy song, but mimicking someone else's style is difficult for me. 

- Zurf

Granted B chord amnesty by King of the Mutants (Long live the king).
If it comes from the heart and you add a few beers... it'll be awesome! - Mekidsmom
When in doubt ... hats. - B.G. Dude

Re: your first song

My first song was "The house of the rising sun", considered here as a "must", followed by a primitive version of "Stairway to heaven".

Re: your first song

My first song was either Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something or Bad Moon Rising by CCR.

My hardest songs to play now are anything either than Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something or Bad Moon Rising by CCR.

Re: your first song

Old dumb me but I started on a hard one (and a long one, too). The 1st song I learned to play, beginning to end (rhythm) was Lyin' Eye's by the Eagles. After learning this song I strared staying with the simple 3 chord songs.

Re: your first song

weedjie, what's the problem? (down strum = 6 strings) + (up strum = 6 string) Total 12 strings played.

Never heard the expression "scunnered" before. Does it hurt?
