Today for a lost band I want to do a band from the midwest. A band by the name of Shooting Star. One of the members was Gary West of the band Missouri who hit some fame with the song Movin on. "Hang On To Your Life" is the title track from Shooting Star's 1981 second album...

Remember the classic 1994 stoner movie 'Dazed and Confused'? Director Richard Linklater is currently filming a sequel and plans to name the film after the popular 1980 Van Halen song 'Everybody Wants Some'. The film will follow main character Mitch Kramer into college in the early 80's, where he plays on the collegiate baseball team...

Sometimes a band can slip right through and never get noticed. Well a friend of mine was down in AZ. and caught these guys on stage. He liked them enough that he brought me back their cd. The name of the band is Hogjaw and I like them. This is a cover of a Lynyrd Skynyrd tune but they have plenty of original material...

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...

This interview is with one of the great guitar players of all time. At least that's the way I see it. Joe Satriani  is one of those players that can do just about anything with the guitar. Slow, fast, whatever the feel, he is one of the best...

Today's lesson is the same song as my favorite. There's just something about The Rev. Billy G. This is one of Billy G.'s dirtiest and greasiest masterpieces from the 1996 album of the same name. No pick is used here.  This is Rhythmeen and when you kick it out in a bar there's gonna be some fun goin' down...

Ask any sports fan and they'll tell you that Joe Montana is one of the greatest football players of all time. Ask any movie buff and they'll rave about Al Pacino's legendary performance as the fictional gangster Tony Montana in the 1983 film Scarface...

This year we have something new at the Billings Motorsports Park Speedway. It's the BMP Speedway Band. Now, I don't get to see the band as I am always busy getting ready for the race. But I do get to hear them and they sound great.  They are mostly country with some classic rock on the side...

How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb? Just one, but the guitar player has to show him how to do it first. For years, bassists have been the most unappreciated musicians in rock. However, a recent series of scientific indicates that bass players might actually be the most important member of the band...

Today's lesson is an old James Gang tune. This one was on the album Thirds which was the last album Joe Walsh did with the band before going solo. And then on to join the Eagles. This tune isn't that hard and shouldn't take you too long to learn...

This interview is with one of the great guitar players of all time. (At least thats the way that I see it) Joe Satriani  is one of those players that can do just about anything with the guitar. Slow fast what ever the feel he is one of the best...
