    Bought a guitar a few days back and just learned to play Emission Control by AC/DC. Not all of it just the main tune*. :cool: I am more a piano guy but learning guitar is really a joy. This is only one of the.. umm.. two songs that I can play. The other one is, as you might have guessed, Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. :-D * Not sure what they call it but I mean the main repeating tune of the song.

      I guess because you only need to remember like 3-5 cords to play it properly XD (it's even easier if you play power cords)

        We call it the verse (or A if you know ABACAB - where A = verse, B = chorus and C = solo).

            I tried picking up the guitar a few years ago. Smoke on the water was one of the first songs. One song I can recomend is Depeche Mode - personal jesus. Really simple to do. Disturbed - darkness. Also quite simple yet beautiful to play yourself. I remember that I used something called tabs which made it super easy as long as the song wasnt too complex.

                There's a guitar shop in town that has a sign on the wall saying that anyone playing Smoke on the Water will be thrown out of the shop. :)

                  To be frank, I bought a real cheap one just for leaning's sake. It's Yamaha F310. But I will think of buying a more expensive one only if I get any better at playing guitar. As I said I am more a piano player and have Yamaha MM6. :cool:

                    A acoustic. Good choice when learning the guitar. I own a Yamaha as well (1 of 6 :)), very happy with it :)

                        Strange that I received an email notification for this message just now. :doh: Even I know a few stores like that. What they don't realize is that that's the first tune almost everyone plays when they try to learn guitar. :sigh:

                          On the contrary, that is exactly what they have realized, they've just gotten seriously tired of hearing differently mangled versions of the same tune every day. :)
