Happy Birthday on a one-string acoustic the first time I picked up a guitar.

After that....probably smoke on the water. :oops:

Its smoke on the water

One finger, translated to E :D

I first got a guitar when I was 14 (I'm 26 now), and tried to learn from lessons geared toward technique. They were really dry and I got bored. Life did its usual crazinesses and it looked like I was gonna live in london for a while after GCSEs (I grew up in, and now live in Cumbria), BUT I went back there for 6th form, so I was 16, and one of my old mates (from since we were 4 and we are still very good friends; hes the bassist in my band) heard I was back while he was on a night out on the town. He came round my house at about 1:30am, drunk, and said he'd started playing (bass) guitar. He showed me the riff to smoke on the water, open 3 5 6 on the low E, enter sandman and (hiss, spit, but that stuff was ppular then) korn, blind, and I was hooked from then on! I think I just needed to be able to play something I liked. The obsession began, and here I am!

Not sure since I was banging out wierd stuff with no real aim. I think the first song I well and truely learnt was Bob Dylan's Knocking on Heaven's door... then I think it was the Jets - are you gonna be my girl. I still only rather embarrassingly only know very few known songs....
