Marquee Moon by Television

by

This is probably the most ambitious series of lessons I’ve ever embarked upon. A detailed multi-part look at Television’s 1977 classic Marquee Moon. I’ve gone all out with this one, transcribing every single the guitar parts with as much attention to detail and accuracy as I could manage. Hope you enjoy the videos.

My Best Friend’s Girl by The Cars

by

I’ve been meaning to make a video on this one for a while. It’s one of my favourite Cars tracks and full of amazing guitar parts. There are actually 2 videos. Part one covers Ric Ocasek’s and Elliot Easton’s rhythm parts along with some of the extra parts and fills. Then in video 2 there’s a detailed breakdown of the guitar solo – one of the greatest ever, if you ask me.

D For Dangerous by The Reverend Horton Heat

by

In this video I’m taking a detailed look at a fabulous psychobilly instrumental from The Reverend Horton Heat. It’s a real virtuoso display from the RHH guitarist Jim Heath. If you want to learn the whole track then it will be something of a commitment, but the track is full of great licks and bits of rockabilly vocabulary, so feel free to sift through it and learn one or two licks that grab you.

Tab and Backing Track

A detailed and accurate tab for the entire track can be found on my Patreon page. I cover all the little licks and variations you can hear in the recording, some of which I didn’t have time to describe in the video. You can also play long to my backing track, with awesome real drums from my friend Steve Duffy.
