On bass guitar I think I learned another Nirvana song, Downer. It's a pretty simple bassline.

First song I actually learned on guitar..."Jack of Diamonds" by God who knows. But that was the first song I played while reading chords and lyrics in a book when I was 12. Last song I learned, Hey Soul Sister by Train, playing by ear for my kids a few days ago. Music is amazing, and transcends generations, so try not to get too caught up in what genre you're listening to, but really appreciate it for what it is...A gift!

I keep culture classing with you yanks on here.) Psychology is something I'm actually thinking of doing a degree in, something made me realise that could be my passion in life.. but I've never actually learnt any psychology in a classroom..

well i never took any psych classes of the like either before this. honestly though, i've always liked trying to understand why people act certain ways, both in groups as well as one on one, since i could remember. so when i talked to my advisor and she asked me what i wanted to switch to, i immediately thought of that.

First song I learned was a simple version of Jimi Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner. I just learned For Whom the Bell Tolls. On bass, I learned Crazy Train.

I can remember youtubing How To Play Come As You Are by Nirvana the day I got my guitar since I heard it was easy.

Although I've never been a big Greenday fan next song I leanred was this:

Heh same here. Except me thinking playing an instrument would be easy, I typed up "How to play Eruption". Boy did I feel stupid.

it's all a matter of practice.

i went to school with a guy who would constantly whip out Eruption on his acoustic. as soon as more than 2 people showed up in his dorm room he was double tapping like a madman.

i'd stand there silently with my guitar and wait, people would offer praise at the 'skill'. then we'd start playing another campfire strum along. he'd ask me to show him how to play X song, i'd call out the chords, then he'd look back at me blankly...

yep... he could play Eruption alright, but he couldn't remember what the G C or D shapes were.... skill...
