In today's lesson we will head into the rhythm part of AC DC and the song Thunderstruck. Last week we had a lesson on the lead and now it's time for the rest of the song. The beginning of the rhythm is probably the hardest part so loosen up those fingers and Enjoy...

Today's lesson is for bass players. Love that rock 'n roll bass line. Found it very difficult to memorize, as it has no particular sequence, but it's worth trying. Ed King performed the bass track of this song on Lynyrd Skynyrd's first record, not Leon Wilkeson as it is often misconstrued...

Today's lesson will be taught by Marty, one of the best teachers.This song is the same as my favorite today, but it is a must if you are in a band and playing in the bars. "Sweet Home Alabama" is not a hard song by any means. But every time you start it off in a bar, the dance floor gets full...

Today's lesson is some great riffs that will help you with playing Jimi Hendrix tunes. Hendrix was a master but he used a lot of shortcuts that sounded great. He was a leader in music and a lot of people took heed in what he did including Eric Clapton...

For today's lesson I thought you should see a couple of different ways to play "Thunderstruck" by ACDC. There is the easy way and then there is the way it is played on the album. Actually both ways would sound alright in a bar atmosphere...

Today's lesson is a rocker from Sammy Hagar before he was in the Van Halen band. This song was on the VOA album and is not a hard tune at all. I personally liked Sammy when he was with Montrose and a solo artist better than when he was with Van Halen...

Today's lesson comes from the Motor City Madman himself Ted Nugent. We can check in and see what Ted thinks is the most important thing in learning the guitar. A lot of people say it's the left hand and then there are those who say it's all in the right hand and the attack well lets see what Ted has to say...

Today's lesson is once again the same song as my favorite. Frijid Pink and The House Of The Rising Sun. I love the way Frijid Pink did the song and is well worth learning the lead so you can play it in a bar and turn some heads. This song almost didn't make the album but that is another story we will dwell into another day...

Wow I found this on the net today and thought it would be a great song for a lesson. From the old Deep Purple album Who Do We Think We Are a song called Rat Bat Blue. This guy doesn't give a formal lesson but if you watch close you can figure it out...

For today's lesson i have picked some old Joe Walsh back when he was with the James Gang. This song is from the album James Gang Rides Again. It was the first song on the album and still receives moderate airplay today. The song is Funk #49 and is not as hard as it sounds...

For today's lesson we are going to work on some lead from one of the masters and that would be Ritchie Blackmore.  Highway Star was on the Deep Purple album Machine Head which was a major influence on all guitar players. Not to mention a fantastic song...
