First song

Unread post by jazzersize » Fri Dec 06, 2002 2:22 am

Just wondering what everyone's first song they ever tried to play on the guitar? what about their first dave song? Today is the 1 year aniversary that i bought my first guitar - a norman acoustic - and was thinking back to when i first tried to play a song out of it. For me it was Ween - Buenos Tardes Amigo. I didn't try any dave till the summer when someone showed me how to play Crash into me. What about the rest of you?

I'd like to first say that Norman guitars are awesome.

The first "thing" I learned on the guitar was More Than Words by Extreme. - I was about 12 or 13. Knockin' on Heaven's Door was close second. I played very very sparsly for next 5 years but when I went to college I heard Dave for the first time and the rest is history. The first Dave song I learned was BOWA, and Crush. not sure which one first. Crash Into Me took a bit longer for me to 'get', mind you I didn't play BOWA or Crush the way I do now (the right way). well, that's it.
good, and you?

Normans are sweet. Wicked sound, nice finish, and they don't take a bite out of your wallet. I wonder if they're sold in the states?

I'm sure they're sold somewhere. Check out their website and you might find where they're sold.
