A first song that you learned part of and played over and over again because you were so happy to actually make competent noise with the guitar.
Mine right now is Leslie Anne Levine by The Decemberists

I think the Peter Gunn baseline is to this day the only thing I know on guitar. I really should pick one of those instruments up, or something else portable.

I'll warn you up front - it's a long, deep rabbit hole to go down. :)

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna start working on it this summer - either a guitar or a uke, or if I can get over the fear, a violin. I just need to buy it. I still don't even know the layout of the guitar though. On the plus side, I won't be a beginner to music, so maybe in some way it might be easier than usual with new guitar students.
Uhh forgot, Tush by ZZ Top
