In this video I’m looking at Surf Rider by the Lively Ones. This is a surf classic that I’ve been meaning to get round to for quite some time. I think this is one of my favourite surf tunes to play. In the tab I’ve included a little solo that I didn’t end up playing in the video which works instead of the sax solo you hear on the original.

A Girl Like You by Edwyn Collins
A detailed look at the brilliant Edwyn Collins track. The rhythm guitar part sounds great and is super beginner-friendly – just 3 chords. I also discuss the weird envelope filtered verse part and get into some of those fuzz riffs.
Sweet Jane by The Velvet Underground
In this video I’m taking an in-depth look at the VU classic Sweet Jane.
Hip Hug-Her by Booker T & The MGs
In this video I’m taking a look at the Booker T & The MGs classic Hip Hug-Her which contains some typically groovy guitar work from the legendary Steve Cropper. For this version of the tune I’ve translated some of Booker T’s organ parts onto the guitar as well.
