I thought it might be cool if everyone posted the first song, progression, melody, or whatever they ever wrote. Doesn't have to be a complete song...whatever the first thing you put together yourself that you could call yours. Just to get everyone's comments on where they were then as a player, versus now. And if there's more than a few entries, I'll edit-post 'em here for convenience.

I started with an acoustic for the most of 2 years, so mine's just a peaceful fingerpicking exploration I made sometime in that 1st year. I was still getting the basics down of strumming/picking the alternate bass strings of a single chord. So alot of this melody is a walking bassline with open chords. Still, I think it's pretty good considering where I was as a player then. It was definitely my first creative breakthrough.

This recording is recent, but the song hasn't changed in 13 years or so. Oh, and I never really gave it a name, so I guess it's just 1st song.
