Topic: What's the first song you learned on guitar ?
The first song I ever learned guitar was House of the Rising Sun. It's been in my set list ever since. I'd like to know what song any of you started with ?

Forever and Ever Amen, performed by Randy Travis and I think written by Charlie Overstreet.

I have finally found happiness in my life. Guitars, singing, beer and camping. And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Leaving on a Jet Plane - John Denver. A nice easy three chord song

When I first started out - my uncle showed me 3 or 4 chords.. in the key of C if I recall.. From there I could play just about any Hank Williams tune out there.. (this was a while ago by the way).. so I'll say my first song was Your Cheatin' Heart. Still a classic.

I thought you were going to say Jambalaya ( On the Bayou ).

Re: What's the first song you learned on guitar ?
Great songs everyone. I've played most all of these at some time or another and they have come and gone from my set lists. But I think it's time to bring some of these back.
Thanks

Re: What's the first song you learned on guitar ?
Don't recall the first song I learned, but the first I played in front of an audience was Jim Croce's Time In a Bottle, fingerpicking. But I didn't sing until next time around on Bob Seger's Turn the Page. Don't play either too much now, but I remember the excitement at just being able to play in front of people.

+1 on CCR's Bad Moon Risin'
It was my first favorite song at six years old. I remember my brother and I lugging a small record player over to a friends house so we could listen to the 45. They were six years older than I and I felt pretty "cool" tagging along. A fond memory, so when I started to learn the guitar I thought it would be natural to learn that song. I recorded myself and and now my version of that song is my cellphone ringtone.
