First song I learned was...um....24 years ago...I really have no idea. But then I switched to bass guitar about 6 years later, and I learned Anaesthesia: Pulling Teeth. I remember saving for a while to get my distortion and wah pedals. It was an Ibanez Tube Screamer and a Dunlop Crybaby Bass Wah, and the bass was an Ibanez TR2, 4-string P/J affair.
