So yeah, today is my 18th birthday and I received an acoustic guitar. I want to learn how to play but I'm not sure of which song I want to learn first (well, after I learn the chords and such) - anyone have any suggestions?

We don't kwno what music you like... Just pick a song you like lol

Lemme start this out by saying Happy Birthday! Your legal in most states now.. so watch out ladies (fellaz?) lol jk

imho.. you cant learn a song someone tells you that your going to learn to play.. its gotta be something that you want to play, and when your finnished your satisfied.

First song I learned on the accoustic was this.

With out all the fancy stuff, its an overall easy song. Also, you cant EVER go wrong with SRV.

There's no way he will do SRV with just starting!

Top three easy acoustic songs I would recommend:

1. Hotel California - The Eagles
2. Knockin' on Heavens Door - Guns and Roses
3. Let it Be - The Beatles

Easy song to learn, hands down:

Wild thing - The Troggs


Here's the tutorial I found on youtube that helped me learn the song :

I listen to hard rock and metal - there's no way in hell I'm going to be able to play any of that currently, that's why I asked for suggestions for easy songs XD. I don't mind starting out with something I wouldn't normally listen to.

@Everyone else: Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take a look after I finish the buttloads of homework I have to do.

Also I recommend getting a chord book, and start making your own music. You can take one chord and make a whole song from it.

learn metallica, pretty easy stuff and most of it sounds kinda good

easy song : master of puppets (just a lot to memorize)

^^ Dude he just started to play and he's got an acoustic. How in the hell is he gonna play Master of Puppets?

I would suggest starting off with Knockin' On Heavens Door by GNR. The only chords you need to know are a G (actually a G5 but normal G is fine), D, C, and Am (A minor). These are all easy chords and put together they make music.

Mav did you even listen to the song?!?!?!?!?!?!?

quite possibly the easiest blues riff evar...

requires 2 fingers to play most of the song, there are about 2-3 chords that use 3-4 fingers but they are basic chords.

Well I mean he shouldn't have trouble doing the main bluesy riff. The only problem he could have is just like following the rhythm. I doubt he'll be able to play the beginning with the hammer on's and pull off's. Pretty good sound though. I remember watching SRV videos so many years ago.
