I have no idea what songs people start with these days. In the olden days people would play early Beatles. And Pink Floyd's "Pigs on the Wing".
smoke on the wa-----ter...and fire in the sky.

Iron man.

whole lotta love.

go sparkz! learn scales, practice them, then practice them some more.

my dad started me off with "woman with the red dress on" by ray charles. or whatever that song is called.

12 bar blues.

you'll probably want the major chords, as you, inexplicably, like country music.

the hardest thing is trying not to make goofy faces while you play, followed closely by singing while you play. ( i cant do either)

and invest in an electronic tuner post haste.
oh, and use the force.
