sam's lesson

Today's lesson is some finger picking from a great songwriter by the name of John Prine. This is a sad song about getting old and being forgotten. It is a sad tune but a great one about life. This would be a song for a country or folk band but it is a fantastic song from Johns first album...

Today's lesson is some more Ted Nugent. If you are playing in a bar or just jammin at home you can't go wrong playing a hefty load of Uncle Ted. In the bar setting all the people will be glad to rock out with some of Ted's righteous music. And if you are at home who cares turn it up and have a large time...

For today's lesson I thought some great bar music would be something nice. Thirty Eight Special is a great southern rock band with a slew of hits under their belt. And a lot of their music would come across great on the bar circuit. So look closely and pick out the different cords as they are not too tough and once you have them they will come in handy for years...

Well I thought that sense we did Boogie Man for my favorites we should do Boogie Man for the lesson of the day. This song would be a blast to play in any bar and as the rhythm isn't too tough I thought the lead  would be just the right touch for this lesson...

Today's lesson is a great southern rocker by an underrated band. The song was on their first album (which was a great album) it was the first song on the album and it is a rocker. Bounty Hunter is the name of the song and it is guaranteed to get the house rockin...

Today's lesson is the same song as today's favorite Ted Nugent's Fred Bear. Fred bear was a real guy that taught Ted to hunt with a bow and arrow. He had a place somewhere around St Louis Mo. But this would be a great song for any bar and people would love it...

Today's lesson it taught from the guy who helped put it on paper. Derek St Holmes was and is (sometimes) the right hand of Ted nugent. He did all of the vocals on Ted's first solo album and played some mean rock and roll guitar while he was doing it...

In today's lesson we will do some rhythm guitar to AC DC's Rock Or Bust song. It's always a good thing to play some of AC DC's music when out and about in the clubs. Hopefully you have someone in your band that can sing close to Brian Johnson...

Today's lesson is Hells Bells by AC DC. This is a great bar tune if you have someone to sing it. Guaranteed to get people up and enjoying the night. That always is great in the bar owners eyes and that will get your band back in the bar and hopefully more money...

Today the lesson is southern rock and a cover of The Allman Brothers song Dreams as done by Molly Hatchet. What a great cover Hatchet did and what a great song to kick out in a band to get the people up and dancing. And that will get them drinking and that will make the bar owner happy...

Today's lesson is an old song by Joe Walsh and the James Gang called Funk 49. I am glad to say I have found marty to show you the song as I think he is one of the best teachers on the internet. But the song Funk 49 isn't too hard and wont take you long to learn but it will get the joint jumping...

Today's lesson is from our old friend Marty one again. Marty is a great teacher and shows you how to play without being a stuffed shirt. He also takes the time to make things easier.Today's song is Call me The Breeze which is actually a JJ Cale song made famous by Lynyrd Skynyrd...
