Wots your first song?

[nelly]

Hi to all, iam learning the guitar and slowly mastering Apache by of corse the shadows.................. What was the first song you learned to play on your SQUIER and thats open to every one!!

[gouacats]

Roxanne - The easy Garage Band lesson version.

[3 Chord Hippie]

Actually Secret Agent Man on an Old Teisco, Squire was still just making strings in those days, sadly before you were thought of also Nelly

[Malikon]

Stairway to Heaven
Youth Gone Wild
18 and Life
One
Fade to Black

Those were my first 5 songs in no particular order.

[Phoenix59]

Learned to play? I'm not sure I have learned any new songs since I got my Squier, but I think the first song I played on it when I got it was "Day Tripper."

[Franx]

Proud Mary. Back in high school guitar class.

[SJB22]

Smoke on the Water, in the 70's everyone learned this one first.

[S. Rock]

I'm in the same boat as 3 Chord Hippie, Squier was still making strings when I learned to play a guitar in 1966. the first song that I learned to play on my old '59 Gretsch was "For What It's Worth" by the Buffalo Springfield. two chords - E and A. I actually showed my neighbor how to play "House of the Rising Sun" before I learned how to play it all the way through.

[Duo Gent]

For me it was "Love Me Do" on a Sears acoustic.

[Meteorologist]

First songs I learned to play were Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd), The Ocean (Zep), and Sunshine of Your Love.

[dmitri]

I didn't have a Squier as my first guitar (an Ibanez EX270 got that distinction) but my first song was "Hey Joe" as performed by Hendrix - I had already worked out the changes on the piano, so just messing with the vibe was all that was needed.

[Vott]

Green Day Good Riddance.

[ghostwolf]

no squier back then, but the song was Louie Louie by the Kingsmen.

[mats]

My first song learned to play was Come as you are by Nirvana but not on squier, on acoustic ;P
pretty easy song, almost all Nirvana's songs are pretty easy (for example About a girl, Come as you are) You can also try "Face" from anime BECK.

YouTube - Beck OST - Face

but on clean sounds better, in my opinion

[Beach Bum Scott]

A year&half ago I picked up my first guitar a Squier Standard Stratocaster and learned to play Penetration by one of the greatest Surf bands of all time The Pyramids.

[fenderfreak]

My Sweet Lord....George Harrison...

[BulletMustang]

Pipeline, The Ventures version. Finally can play a complete song. Not very well yet but at least I can finish it. LOL
(Yes BeachBum its a Chantays song) (now I gotta check out more of the Pyramids too)
Started Apache by Hank Marvin and The Shadows. Need to find the tablature for it. I have the Ventures tab version but not sure its the same?
Started Smoke on the water back in the 70's on my friends strat. Should have kept it up. workin on Iron Man, Back in Black and Love Hurts too. Looks like Love Hurts is a bit easier to learn. Need to find Mustang amp settings for Nazareth tele, twang, sustain, chorus etc? E Bow?
Iron Man solo is tough for me, but kool. I'm rambling again. LOL

[Beach Bum Scott]

I've got both these books they are great to start with plus there are lots of other good tab books on the bottom of this page.

Amazon.com: Surf: Guitar Play-Along Volume 23...


this one too
http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Surf-Guitar/3971504

The Shadows version is a little different than the Ventures, the Ventures always liked to spice up there covers with double stops.

this is a must attend event, I'm so glad I get to go.

Sorry for the derail everyone just tryin to help a fellow surf player out...

[Jimihendrixrules]

First song i learned... hmm? Probly Wish You were here. Love that song. And I've mastered it now! haha. I've only been playing for 3 years but had about a year break when i thought i was over it then i picked up the guitar and played like i never played before. Now im learning songs like crazy D lol last song i learned to play was Purple Haze.

[woolbrig]

For me it was Smoke on the Water.

[Sparkfire]

G-L-O-R-I-A. House of the rising sun. Secret Agent Man. Wipeout. I'm a believer. Honey. Woolly Bullie. Surfer girl. Bad boy (beatles version), Let it all hang out. etc. etc. I was in a garage band in the mid 60's. Truetone electric single pup solid body ($29.95 bought it on layaway with my allowance). Silvertone 2X12 100 watt tube amp $60.00 used. Oh I want to go back. lol

[StratTuner]

you can play these guitars?

[Sparkfire]

Guaranteed to turn those wimpy fingers into mean callous covered slayers of the barre chord! (Or make you give up if you can't take the action.) lol
Oh Dbowen, I didn't know any better either.

[tjnugent]

Yep.. I am that old... Smoke on the Water, when it was released live from Japan. That would put me at age 10 in 1973. Great time to be learning guitar. I bought a 57 Les Paul Jr in Nashville for $350.00 in 1976. Last weekend I saw one just like mine in Guitar Center for $9000.00

[Detector]

Snoopy vs the Red Baron by the Royal Guardsmen was the first song I learned by 45 record. It was a popular radio tune back in the 60's.

[totheMax]

With all these posts it makes me feel like less of a fossil - my first electric (after the Kay acoustic and the Mel Bay guitar lessons I gave up on after a month) was a Teisco solid body that came with a 5 watt amp. Virtually unplayable but it looked cool - I limped my way through Smoke on the Water (only the riffs). I would say the real songs I learned were Who'll stop the rain, and Deep River Blues (Doc Watson lyrics).

[tjnugent]

I remember Snoopy VS The Red Baron... Wow... that is a blast from the past..

[Teleblooz]

Who'll Stop the Rain was the first song I learned if I remember right, though I didn't get my first Squier until 15 years later.

[Pedroyyz]

Baba O'Riley was my first...good old three chords! Als,o at about the same time, basic blues patterns -n- stuff. (Smoke on the Water and Ironman were in there somewhere too...it's all so long ago and kind of a blur as well...ha!)

I just had a cheap Fender acoustic....


oops i didn't mean to attach this pic


I wish i had learned on this...

[tjnugent]

Here is the song Snoopy VS The Red Baron... lol

YouTube - The Royal Guardsmen -...

[totheMax]

Too funny! I remember this playing at our community pool and trying to hit on the 16 year old lifeguards (8th grade dreaming...). I forgot about Iron Man that may have been my first riff. Not too long after that there was all that crap about Richie Blackmore being better than Jimmy Page...

[Jimihendrixrules]

the name of this thread reminds me of Pink Floyd's song Wots Uhh the Deal... lol

[OllieBee]

Summer of '69 from Bryan Adams...

[slotrod65]

I Can't Explain by the Who. Played on my Harmony H22 bass.... It was 3 and a half notes.. How could I screw that up? Then I "Advanced" to Ramones songs... That was the best part of High School for me.

[rick1214]

Smoke on the water and Iron Man for me.....

[hunter rose IV]

for me it was over the hills and far away by led zeppelin,and then i started playing along to crosby stills nash.
i learned muddy waters hard again album when i was 17,that was fun...but i did it on a hot pink fender Hm strat...what a crappy guitar that was.
well...it WAS the 1980's...lol

thom

[Hugh]

first song I learned on a Squier is Shakin All Over ( Johnny Kidd and the Pirates)

[Bassman96]

My first song on bass was Green Eyed Lady by Sugerloaf

[Caddy]

First rock & roll song I learned was Raw-Hide by Link Wray. (Not the theme song from the TV show) I also learned Apache when it hit the charts the first time in 1960 by the original artist of the song, Jorgen Ingmann. (Swedish, I think). That one took me a while to learn back in 1960, at 12 years old. Learned it on the new 1959 Danelectro I had just gotten.

[Strat-Daddy]

Very popular in NE Ohio back in the mid sixties.
