As some will know, I got into this due to my daughter wanting to learn. She is doing OK and is still picking up the guitar when she wants to.

Well, after a period of time of me just learning a few chords and making sure I can change from one to the other ok, I decided to learn a bit more and step up my learning.

I have the basics of the intro for Smoke on the water, which is what my daughter wanted.

I have learnt Knocking on Heavens Door, which I found fairly simple.

I have also learned the first part of the intro to Love Song by Tesla, I just need to speed it up a little but the hammer ons and pull offs are going ok!

I'm now looking for some nice simple songs similar to knocking on heavens door, to get to grips with, prior to looking at any songs that have dropped d tuning. Need to keep the basics going before confusing myself on other areas.

Sabertalon,
Glad to hear everything is coming along well. Looking forward to hearing some of your playing.

House of The Rising Sun in Kirks lessons is a good one or one of the tunes in his beginners lessons.

Or another would be "Wing-like" which is the Kirk's version of Little Wing. There are some slides and hammer ons etc, but they can be ignored for now. The chords are beautiful just by themselves.
