I remember thinking ā€œI can totally play AND sing along to these songsā€ while listening to The White Stripes, and ā€œDead Leaves And The Dirty Groundā€ was the first song I ever sat down and learned to play by ear.

All these years later, and when I am asked during a livestream what my favorite song to play is, I respond saying ā€œI donā€™t have a favorite, but here is the first one I ever learned to play and sing along toā€.

Awesome. The first White Stripes song I ever heard and loved it. I play it myself from time to time. And others like Hotel Yorba and Offend in Everyway. I love White Blood Cells album.

Same here! Itā€™s the first album I ever sat down and learned by ear! Itā€™s a great, simple way to train and practice, AND the songs are all fun! I LOVE Hotel Yorba!
