House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
Way back in the 5th grade, in Philippines, when I began learning the guitar was when I came across this for the first time.
My guitaring lessons in a nutshell, lasted for 4 weeks. I learned the basic notes, one or two simple natural scales, all the natural and some # and b chords and essential techniques such as slide, hammer, pull-off, power-chords, etc.
After being respectably proficient in these techniques, my teacher decided to give me two songs to learn. The first one being Beethoven's "Ode To Joy". I learned this song well at that time considering it contained mainly notes. The chords I went back to later on as I got better at things. The second song is this: "House of the rising sun" by The Animals. Now this song, I never payed much attention to at that time. It was taught to me during my very last lesson of that beginner course. Contained a mixture of chords and notes. Something I was bad at. My fingers were far too soft and my palm width too narrow during that time.
Approximately 3 days ago I heard this song at my friend's place on his PC.
It completely mesmerized me instantly! Immediately after which I rememberd my guitar learning days!
Upon reaching home, I first downloaded it, secondly downloaded the guitar tabs. And now I've filled in that missing block that should've been filled after the last day of guitar!
For those who would like to listen to this classic, natural composition:
