    What's the first song you learned, not some stupid one from a lesson book but one you really wanted to learn and thought was cool. Kind of your first inspiration....

    My first one was No Woman No Cry
    My first PJ song was Black
    Everything's gonna be alright now...

    First riff was "Interstellar Overdrive"(!);
    first PJ riff: "Alive", back in 1991.

    When I first got my guitar I remember playing the chord E-minor over and over again. My first song was Rockin' in the Free World.

    My first song would have been "Patience" by GNR.

    My first PJ song was probably either "Jeremy" or "Black".

    Yep, yep. Although, many succesful players have "stolen" rifs in the past. Actually, someone told me yesterday that Alive is actually a Doors song, LOL.

    It isn't, but the solo is a rip-off from the Doors' Five To One... though I believe Mike ripped it from Ace Frehley who ripped it from Robby Krieger...:confused:

    first song ever ever, californication, oooh the simplicity. Firt WHOLE pj song, better man, first random part of a pj song, intro to i am mine.

    and listless, just play lots, and lots, and lots. Find a song you like a find a decent tab and learn it. Then get good at it. Then repeat with a different song. Either that or get a book / lessons.
