John Denver's/PP&M's "Leaving On A Jet Plane" followed by as many Everly Brothers songs as I could think of. "Bye Bye Love" and "Bird Dog" by the Everly Brothers taught me how to make faster chord transitions as did Barry McGuire's "Eve Of Destruction" It's a strange feeling to sit down and play these songs now.

Sitting down playing songs you learned years ago, and playing them better now than you did then shows how far you've progressed, doesn't it.

Not to hard for me to remember my first ones hahah, first one would be 10 months ago or something. First song: The Wind with cat stevens, after that it was sweet home alabama, and then No Woman No Cry wih bob marley.
The first song I could sing and play was The World I Know by Collective Soul. It's actually a pretty short list of songs that I can say I can play my version all the way through. But by then, I could play and sing part of a bunch of songs. It's weird. I tried to learn My Heros Have Always Been Cowboys, which is suppose to be easy. But I still can't play that all the way through that with out a train wreck! But I can play and sing a good bit of More Than Words and Tears In Heaven. I was never any good at the stuff that is "suppose" to be easy.

"Stairway to Heaven" in 1977, the only song I knew for over a year. When I started to take things more seriously I picked up "Four Strong Winds", "Heart of Gold", "Love is a Rose", well, a lot of things from my Neil Young guitar songbook.
And I still don't know all of Stairway, never will.
