Stand by Me xD

 

[postnatal]

mods yes. but my choice of mods were quite stupid..... i put EMGs on it for some reason... routed the wood and slapped on a floyd rose... kinda kills the whole strat image and tone...

and my bad if i offended the squiers... i was just saying that there were better than ashtons....

yeah you wrecked your strat trying to make it look like some ugo ibanez rg.

 

[SSRabbitohs2009]

Smoke on the water.
First and last song I learnt on guitar.

ode to joy. ftw

 

[kaz1]

drunken sailor

 

[Rage_Quitter]

Kryptonite by Three Doors Down, I think?

I learnt the chorus and the guitar solo. I thought it was good, that was until I YouTubed my primary school friend.
(Yeah, that was when I learnt my first song on guitar.)

adams song - blink 182

 

[Crestwood's_G]

well yeah smoke on the water riff and come as you are...but also knocking on heavens door chords...

 

[Absolutezero]

Kryptonite by Three Doors Down, I think?

Here Without You by them uses the same chord structure, just different picking.

 

[brenx712]

You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift.

And yes I'm a guy.

Only did it because it was apparently easy (and it is!)

 

[Dream-Theater]

The Mission Impossible theme (Badass, I know. Did the 4/4 version though).

 

[Klutsov]

Chopsticks, i think...easiest piece EVER

 

[BlueCatBulletCD]

The house of the rising sun

 

[Absolutezero]

Chopsticks, i think...easiest piece EVER

Unusual choice for guitar though...

 

[snazzshazz]

the first songs i learnt were:
scar - missy higgins
time of your life - green day

hmm good acoustic songs, coldplay has nice acoustic songs
(but i'm just being biased cause they're my favourite band)
john mayerand jack johnson also have good acoustic songs

 

[xcavars]

tears in heaven by eric clapton.

shame i forgot how to play it all though

 

[MissedThePoint]

Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
Very easy, still one of my favourite songs.

 

[meeatu]

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley's version, minus the dodgey bit near the end where he holds that note for like three hours and plays over the chords faster and faster. Much easier than it sounds, and really pretty :]

 

[octopie]

Plus, heaps of songs can be sung to the chord progression G D Em C

Yeah, and also the other progressions using just those 4 chords. Amazing isn't it?

I learned Paramore's cover of Foo Fighters' My Hero first. Oh the days when I struggled playing C.. xD
