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.

What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace Love & Understanding by Nick Lowe
In this video, I’m looking at a Nick Lowe classic. First I take you through the basic chords so you can strum it Costello-style, then I look at a surf-style instrumental version, as played by Los Straitjackets.Tab and backing track can be found on Patreon.
Hand Clapper by Link Wray
I love a bit of Link Wray! This one is super-fun to play, and not too hard either.

Good, Bad, Ugly Theme
In tribute to the genius of Ennio Morricone, for this lesson I’ve put together a solo arrangement of his best-know piece. Plenty of things to work on here: dynamics, octaves, fast picking, triads, chord melody. Hope you enjoy getting it together.
