First song figured out on guitar... for all you non-guitar players

[Tommygunn]

So I don't play guitar but I have 4 guitars (get that). So I was just messing around on one of them and (with the one chord I know) I just figured out "smells like teen spirit". It prolly isn't spot on but it's close enough.


Has this happened to anyone else?

James Bond theme, Daytripper and lol, Mary Had A Little Lamb (hey, I was a kid, ok!) and no I don't play...I am gonna try to teach myself later, soon as I get my brother's axe fixed, but IDK how I am gonna do, I mean my heart is more into bass, and it made teaching myself easy, but the guitar....we'll see! :P

+1 on the 007 theme.

I'm soley a bass player but I learned this one chord one time and I use it for messing around and writing simple stuff for my basslines. Turns out it is the same chord used in smells like teen spirit, he just goes up and down the neck.

Learning chords can inspire a more melodic approach to bass playing:
