sam's lesson

In today's lesson I have hooked up with Marty once again. I think Marty is a great teacher and easy to follow. Today's song is, "More Than a Feeling" by Boston. The only problem with this tune is you have to have a singer that can come close to Brad Delp and he had a great set of pipes...

In today's lesson I thought that some Delta Blues slide would be nice. Learning to play the slide can be frustrating and make you want to quit. All I can say is keep after it once you get it down it is a lot of fun. It makes a great time on the bar seen and people love to dance to it...

Today's lesson is a flat top song Kansas. It was their most famous song from the album Point Of No Return. Dust In The Wind actually started out as a practice to loosen up the fingers. Kerry Livgren was sitting around playing it and his wife said that would be a great song for the band...

In this guitar lesson we look at an all time classic awesome guitar riff. In the lesson we'll learn the main riff and the verse pattern for Walk This Way by Aerosmith, (the bit that most people don't get right!) and we'll even have a sneak at the chorus chords too...

Today's lesson is a flat top song by Pure Prairie League.  Learn the intro guitar solo to "Amie" a great song to know no matter what kind of music you play. . In this acoustic lead guitar lesson, he will break down the intro solo to the 1973 classic  as we discover the scales and techniques common to major guitar soloing...

Today's lesson is the same song as my favorites. An old Rolling Stones song from the album Sticky Fingers. The song was actually written by Marianne Faithfull and there was a discrepancy over the credits to the song in the beginning. Merianne was the girlfriend of Mick Jagger at the time...

Today's lesson is for the beginner bass player. Most people think that playing the bass is easy because there are only four strings. But a good bass player is worth his weight in gold. He is the time keeper not the drummer. So if your thinking of picking up the bass remember you will never be out of work...

Today's lesson will be the second part of the Neil Young tune we started last week. In this guitar lesson we will show you how to play the classic Neil Young track, "The Needle and The Damage Done," from the Harvest album. This is part two, finishing off the chords and a close look at the picking...

Today's lesson is a flat top song and in this guitar lesson we will show you how to play the classic Neil Young track, The Needle And The Damage Done, from the Harvest album. Great short song and would be a fun song to open up the third or fourth set of a rock bands night...

Today's lesson is a famous Blue Oyster Cult song. Well, OK, the most famous BOC song. I found it with my favorite teacher Marty. I think he is one of the easiest guys to learn from on the web. Just make sure that your drummer has a cowbell and you will be in good shape...

For today's lesson I thought some Led Zeppelin would be nice. The only thing you have to remember about playing Zep music is that you have to have a vocalist that can sing close to Robert Plant. This song isn't too tough on the rhythm but depending on how long you have been playing the lead it might take a while...

In this lesson we will go back to the Eric Clapton Cream days. This song won't be too hard to learn but then the lead might be another thing. It would be a great one for your band to kick out in the bar scene. The vocals would not have to sound like Jack Bruce...
