A detailed guitar lesson on Night Shift from Siouxsie and the Banshees’ 1981 album Juju. Covering all the main guitar parts including the opening riff, arpeggios, chorus chords and the instrumental section, with some attention to how John McGeoch used simple ideas to great atmospheric effect. Gear and tone covered towards the end (Jazzmaster, MXR flanger, delay).
Indie
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.
In My Room by The Beach Boys
My arrangement of the 1963 Beach Boys classic. Tab is available on the Patreon page.
Tugboat by Galaxie 500
In this video I’m looking at a 2 chord indie classic. But there’s more going on here than you might initially think. Tab and my backing track can be found on Patreon.
Christmas Eve by Gorky’s/TFC
For this year’s Xmas special I’m taking a look at the beautiful song Christmas Eve originally recorded by Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, and covered wonderfully by Teenage Fanclub. Hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas!
Crocodiles by Echo and the Bunnymen
This one has been much requested, a Bunnymen classic from 1980. Tab and backing track can be found on Patreon.
