If you still remember what was the first song you learned?
My first song was Cherry cherry (Neil Diamond) E A D[video]http://ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvXCYqd8AAs[/video]

Let It Be, by The Beatles. very easy song all down strokes. played in G major
G-D-EM-C
G-D-C-G
Chorus EM-D-C-GX2-D-C-G

Even a new guitarist can learn this in a few hours.

Please, can someone tell me how Neil Diamond can be kept out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame???? This man is one of the all time greats!! Wake up out there, whom ever has a vote for the Rock and Roll hall of fame!! I didn't know Neil has been eligible since 1989 and he hasn't been voted in yet. I find that freaking incredable.... Unless he is considered to "Pop".....I don't know... :huh:

Glad you caught that, I think it is a shame as well

Puff the Magic Dragon. Still love playing that song. Did so today, in fact.

Neil is not considered a Rocker. He's more of a Vegas Act.

Froggy went a courtin'

Elvis was the Vagas act, he only wrote 1 song. Neil Diamond wrote his own tunes, and is a great performer.

My first tune: "Teach Your Children" by Crosby Stills Nash and Young.


About Neil Diamond: A great rock film "The Last Waltz", is "The Band"'s farewell show and has a lot of greats performing, like Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison ...and Neil Diamond.

Of course, "The Band" only invited performers they had great respect for (even if Neil Diamond was a wardrobe catastrophe: sequined-up as if for a Vegas show).

Come to think of it, at the time David Bowie wore his share of sequins too.

And my first song,(Im so lonesome I could cry)Hank Williams.Theres a man who could write some songs.
