I started as a kid so there were lots of simple songs. This was the first song I learned to play by ear on the piano.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

"Chopsticks"

I was four.

 

[night_son]

On guitar:

 

[Chuz Life]

Literally had only two strings on a fake electric toy guitar but, my uncle was able to teach me the bass notes of the progression and had a fun time showing me off to others. I think I was about 5 or 6.



Soon after, I taught myself how to play Mary had a Little lamb and Twinkle Twinkle on the same little toy guitar.

 

[Natural Citizen]

Jimmy Cracked Corn on an old church piano. The kind with the high back. I was probably like 8 or something like that. I kind of came up in the southern black churches. For the most part anyway.

 

[White 6]

Probably "The Woodchuck" out of John W. Schaum Book "A" back in 1964.

 

[Mr Natural]

I think it was the Peter Gunn theme. Or Pipeline.

I don't remember which, it was a long time ago.

 

[the other mike]

Now that I recall, it was Heart of Gold by Neil Young.
Used to self-teach myself the lead parts to Wooden Ships and things like that.
