What was the first song of substance that you learned to play by yourself?
For me it was "Cocaine Blues" by Dave Van Ronk on acoustic; on electric it was "Help Me" covered by local Toronto band Mckenna Mendelson Mainline.
Still play them.
Wasn't much help in the way of instruction books or teachers back then.
Good memories, once I was able to figure them out and play them properly, I knew I could do this.
Went on to pickup the banjo, so I was juggling all three for years.
