I think on guitar, the first song I learned was Radio by Alkalien Trio, followed by We've Had Enough by Alk3, and then came The Quiet Things...

Good tunes.

IC is one of their easier songs though, and TQTTNOEN (my God!) is damn easy. My first real song would be Ultra Blue then.

Or did you learn by ear?

Green Day - When I Come Around, Or System - Chop Suey, Can't remember which one first. On the drums that is. But Obviously all these jazz and blues songs you earn in lessons.

Guitar: Blink 182 - Dammit

I played sax starting around 5th grade too, so probably Hot Cross Buns or something insanely simple like that.

well, i can't really remember my FIRST song all the way through. but When You Fucked Grandpa by Blink was EASY to play, then it took me a while to get Stay Together For The Kids. but all the way through is either In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth III - Coheed and Cambria (which i gradually learned over a few months) or The Quiet Things No One Knows which yeah, it's SO ridiculously easy it's sick
haa

blink 182 - apple shampoo

this song is the reason i wanted to pick up the bass. before it, i'd never heard a song that was driven by the bass. and i always loved the fact that it didn't have a true chorus, it was more like a story from beginning to end.

Smells like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. I thought this was now the standard for all beginners. Hmm.
