What was the first Beatles song you played on guitar/bass?

[simer4001]

I think it was Get Back, on a brown Hondo ES335 copy !

Make that 2 for Get Back. First song on bass. Let it Be was the first on piano.

"Love Me Do" on a Silvertone acoustic, my first guitar.

I forgot about bass. Three for Get Back

I think it was "Hey Jude" on my first acoustic, an Ovation Balladeer. Except, I couldn't play it at first in F so I dropped the tuning a step and learned it in G.

"Blackbird" on my first POS nylon-stringed acoustic, when i was 10. Still love playing the chord progressions of that song today!
On my first Rick, a 320 BG, ....what else????..."I saw her standing there"..... never get tired of playing that.

I learned to play guitar by ear with a buddy of mine starting when I was about 15. One of the very first tunes we did (not just Beatles songs) was "Two Of Us." Shortly after, we learned "I've Just Seen a Face. I know a lot of you will find this funny but the first time I heard this song, it was the Wings version (Wings Over America, I think?) and we loved playing that 12 string acoustic solo that I think Denny did.

Day Tripper on guitar, and I'm very suprised there are nearly 2 pages without this one!!
I always ignored the middle 8 for some reason. I may have been afraid of the tension building!!

Hacked out 'A Day in the Life' on a 70's-vintage Silvertone, which quickly broke and was replaced with an Epi acoustic.

Forgot to post my first bass song(When I got one)-And Your Bird Can Sing. WOW! Did I trip over my fingers...Ahem, and played it wrong.....

[antipodean]

Bass: Let it Be

Guitar: Back in the USSR

Simple plays for simple players, as they say...

[sjb-66]

I'll Follow The Sun on my first acoustic
Something On The Same acoustic
Day Tripper on my 1st Gibson ES 335
Here There and Everywhere

I remember working on these as the first songs I could actually play

all on bass---about the earliest song i can remember playing was "day tripper". my old 4 peice band loved doing "hey bulldog", and messing around recently came up with a bass version of "blackbird"....the mine is deep.....

Or maybe because that part is 10 times harder than the rest.
