Anyone remember that hidden song on Green Day's "Dookie" Album called "All By Myself"?? Yeah, that was it... "Come As You Are" was shortly after.

I still play it to get me in the mood if i'm not feeling it. The intro just makes you want to rock. I never get sick of it and i've been playing a long time.
A horse with no name, by America, I think. Easy 2 chords, but quickly stepped it up to Beatle songs.
What a great song

Hmm.... first song I played all the way through was probably Doesn't Remind Me by Audioslave. But Heart of Gold might have been in there too. Or RITFW. I'm not really sure.

No, its E minor. Check any tab of the song, or better yet check his hands on any video performance of the song
"I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young
The first song I learned on acoustic guitar was Neil Young's Old Man (showing my age) and my son's was GreenDay's Time of Your Life (Good Riddance).

Hehe that made me smile because my 9 year old cousin is into Green Day and i would cringe every time he came over and picked up one of my guitars and noodled around with bits of their tunes.
He would look at me and go 'i'm getting better aren't i?' and i'd just nod and smile and say mmm-hmm.
He used to tell me i was 'old' because i wasn't much of a Green Day fan. I was 23. Too funny.
first riff anyway was corduroy (the 'long' live 95 version)
1st complete song was 'in bloom' (i think)
That was one of my first songs too however, the solo is STILL impossible for me. Any tips or places where I can find the right tab?

“I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

Haha, it was for a lot of people! Except for those of us who started playing before the song was written!
Me,,, it was probably Satisfaction when the Stones in the USA for the first time. Then when the Kinks came out, "You really got me".
