besides California Raisins, I guess it would be the Enter Sandman riff, More than Words (Extreme), than prolly Knockin' on Heaven's Door, Paradise City (GnR) then I learned some Wallflowers stuff - 6th Avenue Heartache, 3 Marlenas.....uhhhh this is a few years before I heard Dave.....I didn't play very much at all at this point. but heard Dave in grade 12, bought BTCS. then kinda forgot about Dave till well into my first year college than I got hooked when I heard Ants Marching and Two Step and BOWA....then I picked up the guitar and started learning Dave songs. didn't put the guitar down since.
good, and you?

I've been playing since I was 13, and I think the first song I learned was just some random song my dad gave the chords to. I am not even sure what it was anymore.
