D For Dangerous by The Reverend Horton Heat
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.
She Bangs The Drums by The Stone Roses
In this lesson I’m taking a detailed look at the Stone Roses classic.
I’m Bored by Iggy pop
I’ve looked at quite a few Stooges tracks previously on this site, but here I have a classic track from Iggy’s 3rd solo record New Values. It’s a fantastic song with some great riffs and soloing from Scott Thurston.
As usual, tab and backing track can be found on my Patreon page.
