Bedford Fox Posted 29 July 2006 Posted 29 July 2006 What was the first song you ever learnt to play???? mine was Dammit by Blink on bass i think!
Cat Burger Posted 29 July 2006 Posted 29 July 2006 My Sharona, that marked the beggining of my ill-fated guitar career haha.
Mark Posted 29 July 2006 Posted 29 July 2006 I started on chords so just alot of easy Blink 182 songs to begin with - Dammit, Dick Lips, What's My Age Again. The first more complicated song was Long Way Down by Goo Goo Dolls.
lookwhaticando Posted 29 July 2006 Posted 29 July 2006 Pink Floyd's Money on bass guitar was mine. I got a friend to explain basic tablature to me, then I picked up my bass and attempted to play it. Took me a while to get used to it, but once I had the basics I was able to work on timing and I took it from there.
stez Posted 29 July 2006 Posted 29 July 2006 everyone in my gang at school had to know how to play wild thing by the troggs.....i winged it a bit and just waited til they all kicked off and i made a quiet noise on a bass
Tommy Posted 30 July 2006 Posted 30 July 2006 Wild Thing by The Troggs closely followed by Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen and then Ob La Di Ob La Da by The Beatles.
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 3 August 2006 Posted 3 August 2006 Come as you are by Nirvana shortly followed by Wonderwall - the true tune of the 90s and my generation
Knighton Matt Posted 3 August 2006 Posted 3 August 2006 Lucky Man - The Verve G D A Em G D A Can't go wrong really!
Ricey Posted 3 August 2006 Posted 3 August 2006 Come as you are by Nirvana shortly followed by Wonderwall - the true tune of the 90s and my generation Same. Although I find it boring learning other peoples songs.
Alexikokopops Posted 3 August 2006 Posted 3 August 2006 First I learnt on the bass was L.A.P.D. by the Offspring. The verse has the easiest Bass Line known to man, fact. As for the other instruments I play, I have no idea, I started a long time ago. The only song I can remember how to play on the acoustic though is Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel
Master Fox Posted 3 August 2006 Posted 3 August 2006 Sitting on the grass.... I think it was actually chop sticks
Dr The Singh Posted 3 August 2006 Posted 3 August 2006 I think it was actually chop sticks Soho Road - Apna Sangeet, on the Dhol!!
Master Fox Posted 3 August 2006 Posted 3 August 2006 Soho Road - Apna Sangeet, on the Dhol!! What the????
Deathside Posted 4 August 2006 Posted 4 August 2006 UK Subs ~ Warhead power chords This was certainly one of the early bass lines I learnt and was constantly teaching my mates Along with various Stranglers and Ruts songs plus other early Subs classics (CID, Tomorrow's Girls)
Deathside Posted 4 August 2006 Posted 4 August 2006 Thanks to this thread I just had an old school blast on my bass - I pretty much remembered how to play: UK Subs - Warhead UK Subs - CID UK Subs - Tomorrow's Girls Stranglers - Princess Of The Streets Ruts - Babylons Burning Ruts - In A Rut Could be some Damned & Sex Pistols on the way soon
Daggers Posted 4 August 2006 Posted 4 August 2006 Unfortunately it is also the last song I learned to play. I never got the hang of the whole finger positioning thing...gimme a good punk power chord anyday! I tried Come Join Us ~ Bad Religion, but it doesn't sound that great. I make up for it by shouting.

Was wondering why our musical heritage is similar - then noticed that if you correctly entered your DOB in yer profile you are 7 months and zero days older than me
Head Honcho Posted 4 August 2006 Posted 4 August 2006 Thanks to this thread I just had an old school blast on my bass - I pretty much remembered how to play: UK Subs - Warhead UK Subs - CID UK Subs - Tomorrow's Girls Stranglers - Princess Of The Streets Ruts - Babylons Burning Ruts - In A Rut Could be some Damned & Sex Pistols on the way soon Princess of the Streets-JJ at his best Rattus was and probably still is one of my most played LPs You know what I'd forgotten about Tomorrow's Girl Crash Course LP is quality though
