sam's lesson

Today's lesson is for beginners. Don't forget everyone has to start somewhere. These are some basic chords with an easy Cream song to play as well. As I said everyone has to start somewhere and most of the time I forget such things. So for all you beginners get ready and loosen up those fingers and most of all Enjoy...

I usually don't put two lessons together but this is part one and part two of Aerosmith's version of Train Kept A Rollin. It is kinda intense so I thought I would nail you all at once with them. This guy does a good job of breaking the lead down so with some practice you should be able to get it under control...

Today's lesson will be an interesting one as it came from the Get Your Wings Aerosmith album.I have read that Steve Perry didn't play the solo on the album that it was actually Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner the guys who played the intro on Lou Reeds Sweet Jane on the live Rock and Roll Animal album...

Today's lesson is from Bachman Turner Overdrive and the song Let It Ride. This is a great song for the bar scene as it still gets a lot of radio play on Classic Rock  Stations. Randy Bauchman was notorious for playing weird cords and getting a different sound...

Today's lesson we will do a run on Sammy Hagar. My interview was with him and I think I will pick a song from him for my favorite's as well. Did you know that Sammy Hagar was going to be a boxer but decided music was a safer way to make a living...

Today's lesson is one that I think I have done before but someone asked me to put Sweet Home Alabama on my lessons so here it is. Any Lynyrd Skynyrd is a great song to learn for playing in a band. All Skynyrd is good for the bar circuit as every one knows the beat and can dance to it...

Today's lesson is an acoustic song that is a great song. You could even play it in a bar setting even though you are a rock band. The song is Pure Prairie League's Amy. Guaranteed no matter what kind of music you play this one would go over in any bar...

For today's lesson we are going to do the same song as my favorite once again. Foreigner Feels Like The First Time is a great song and all your vocalist has to do is be close to Lou Grahm. In a bar setting this would be a great dance song not too long and not too fast...

Today's lesson is the same song as my favorites. Bad Company is a great  band to cover in a bar. Most all people know the songs and can relate to them. Plus the best part is that most Bad Company songs are easy to learn and wont take a long time to get the cord progressions down...

We go back to Marty once again for our lesson today. Marty is a good teacher and takes his time with the lesson and has a lot to offer. Today's lesson is some acoustic blues that always comes in handy even in rock and roll. You can use a lot of these fingerings in all kinds of music...

For today's lesson I thought I would do the same band as my favorites. Black Sabbath from their first album and their title song Black Sabbath. This is a great song and a lot of fun to play and you get to use a lot of distortion. If you have someone who can sing like Ozzy and you whipped this out in a bar the people would go nuts...

Today's lesson is from the person that made the lick famous. Today Nancy Wilson will show us how to play Crazy On You from Hearts dubeau album. It's not to often that the master will give the lesson but that is what we have today. So loosen up those fingers and get your head on right and learn a song from Nancy Wilson...
