Do you remember what the first Beatles song you played on guitarbass was?

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.

Anna. It suited my vocal range and it was a hit with the girls.....

"You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" and the guitar was a Yamaha acoustic 12 string.

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".

eight days a week on a strat copy!

'Day Tripper', on an electric piece of junk of unknown origin.

I don't remember what the first Beatles song I played on quitar was. The first one I played in a band was Get Back.

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.

Rocky Racoon on an acoustic six-string Epiphone(The first guitar I ever bought, still have it).

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

On bass it was "Twist-N-Shout"

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
