Extreme - More Than Words. Isn't that the first song everybody learns on guitar? Back in the day it was almost a rule.

Pursuit of Vikings by Amon Amarth. The tab wasn't that good, though, so I've been meaning to learn it again. First song I learned on bass was Rosenrot by Rammstein.

For me it wasEvery Rose Has Its Thorn, but More Than Words was either number 2 or 3. Wish You Were Here ranks up there as well.

Sunshine of Your Love. It can't hold a candle to the original, and I have to play the solo slower than the rest of the song, but other than that, it's good. :P

My first song that I learned when I started bass was Tom Sawyer by Rush. Very easy and was catchy too :)

Technically the first song I learned on bass was Survivalism by NIN because it's just the second string open to the rythm of the song, but the first song I ever tried to learn was Revelations by Iron Maiden, followed by Heaven Beside You by Alice In Chains.

As for the actual guitar I only know Silent Lucidity by Queensryche and Smoke on the Water.
