I think mine was either "Help!" or "Twist and Shout"...can't remember that well, but I know it was one of those songs.

Bass on Eight Days a Week. I had to play it for a sound-alike recording project at Berklee.

My first ever Beatles song was played with my first ever band in 7th grade in 1973. We all learned it together, and we were all 13-14 years old.

The song was "I Me Mine".

Eleanor Rigby on an acoustic guitar my folks bought for me with Blue Chip Stamps.

It was also the first song I learned on guitar, period.

On guitar it was "Ticket to Ride"

I remember getting The Complete Beatles book before I could play guitar, so that's a blur. But I learned to play "Let It Be" on piano when I was ten.

I had that book, too, bought shortly after I got my first guitar. Wish I knew what became of it, I think an old bandmate swiped it :twisted:
