guiatrists,wat were the very 1st things u learnt as a noob?

[superak]

I dun read tabs. :lol:

Then again, reading tabs and being able to play at that kind of speed on the second is indeed talent.

I am sure red detriot meant that, and no pun intended please.

 

[detroit_red]

I'm sorry for playing you guys so far... I thought you would get that it was a joke from the start, but since you continued questioning i continued talking rubbish ... No offence ah ...

 

[superak]

dude.. oh dude.... really thought it was for real.

Thanks for the entertainment.

 

[Rollercoaster]

Some lousy Nirvana songs....

 

[bluepowder]

hehe....well the first songs i ever learnt were...
Sabbath bloody sabbath
House of the rising sun...

I used to see my friends play cowboys from hell and enter sandman and goo....aargh will i ever do that someday....these guys are geniuses..or wait is it genii.....hmm...

 

[Judas]

i started off with i guess one of the most common songs ever... Stand by me =.='''

 

[TequilaSunrise]

G Em C D

And I found that pretty difficult, so my friend thought me the sus versions of G Em C D. Became pretty since only need to move 2 fingers. haha.

 

[strats]

yay i can play chords now! finally

 

[Stairwaytoheaven]

The first thing i ever learn was Nothing Else Matters.
I remember the first time i was in a tuition and then my sis bf just came in the room and picked up the guitar and started playing nothing else matters.
I was like.... 8O 8O 8O

Really impressed.
So i've made up my mind to learn that as the first song.
Also i realised you can learn alot from the song.
Chords like C, A , D
Barred Chords
Double Barred.
and Harmonics. 8)

So i think its a good start off.

After i learned the song, i began to pick up electric guitar and start to try the solo. :wink:

 

[hay88]

dammit by blink 182...tom delonge fathered my playing even till today.

 

[dace_diath]

basically,
mostly it's "wad the hell is the guitar?"
haha,

well dat was a few years back,

 

[NewGuy]

You guys start out with songs and tabs and all the cool stuff. I had a friend who volunteer to give me a head start and guess what he did. He played a few riff and show me then he asked me to mimic him. Damn tiring and hard especially if all 6 strings look the same and sound different.

He taught me some simple chord progression and I learnt the hard way. I still sucks in strumming. Man... gotta learnt and improve...

Just a side thought, I think we all started out GASing for guitars, amps and effects before we even know a thing in guitar...

 

[throwduncan]

the first thing i learned was the lead guitar of yellowcard's way away. lol

 

[legin]

i learnt G Em C and D. classic huh. :lol:

 

[xetc]

Hmm first thing i learnt was how to pluck the strings on the guitar.

First song = Mission Impossible :lol:

 

[throwduncan]

the very first things i learn! i thought the very first song i played. lol
yup, like what xetc said,everybody starts from plucking strings.

 

[17wil]

the very fist thing i learnt was to play the intro to enter sandman. hahaha
now i am gainbing back lost time by slow-ly learning basic chords , finger positioning and strumming.
btw. any method possible to learn chords in 1 month?

 

[detroit_red]

Yes ..

 

[17wil]
