I thought some folks in here might be interested in this tune..
It's my take on the classic "Rock Candy" by Montrose. A very killer song with some great heavy rock guitar playing. Kind of a mix of Zeppelin and Hendrix, it's a lot of fun to play! I hope you enjoy the video. cheers...
This is my second post in a few days...
At the risk of becoming annoying, but considering the circumstances here's my take on "Rebel Rebel" by David Bowie.
It's a killer lick...I had always thought that Mick Ronson played on this track but when researching for this lesson I found out that it...
Here's my take on "She Sells Sanctuary" by The Cult. This is a killer rock tune! The beauty of this one is in it's simplicity. It's played on the D and G strings entirely except for one note on the B string, and you could play 90% of it with just one finger! The way the guitars come in and out...
Here's my lesson on the "Separate Ways" guitar solo. A lot like the "Anyway You Want It" solo, I've always been interested in it. Like a lot of Neil Schon's stuff it starts out with an absolutely beautiful melodic theme, but then ends up in one of his insane triplet speed licks! Hopefully this...
Here's my lesson on "The Rain Song". Once you get the tuning down, it's not too difficult and sounds really nice with all the open chords.

I hope you get something out of it. cheers everyone
Here's my lesson on the "Crazy Train" solo. There's a bit of everything in this one. I included that really awesome legato style fill from the 1st verse/chorus which to me is the best lick Randy Rhoads ever came up with!

I hope you enjoy...
Here's the first of 3 videos on how to play the "Hotel California" guitar solos. I cover both parts played by Don Felder and Joe Walsh. Even though we've all heard this a thousand times, it's still an excellent solo to learn. Great feel, accurate bends, nice vibrato, lots of chord tones in the...
Here's my lesson on how to play "Over the Hills and Far Away" by Led Zeppelin. This is a pretty in depth tutorial that covers the acoustic parts. It's a really great sounding tune that isn't too difficult to play. Many people struggle with the timing on this one so I've included a little trick...
Here's my lesson on how to play "Run to You" by Bryan Adams. A really excellent tune that's not too hard to get down. Sometimes the simple stuff is the best but whether it's simple or complex doesn't really matter as much as how well you play it and how good you can make it sound right?

Here's my lesson on the fills and solo to "More Than a Feeling" by Boston. Iconic guitar sound here by Tom Scholz. A big part of his sound was that he doubled tracked all his parts and of course the harmonies that he uses at just the right spots. The licks in this one are not that tough, it's...
Here's my lesson on "More Than a Feeling" by Boston, the acoustic guitar parts. This is a true masterpiece IMHO. Everything about it is so incredibly well done, from the drums and bass, the absolutely stellar vocals and the lyrics, awesome production and of course the amazing guitar parts. 5...
Here's my lesson on "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. There's quite a bit of stretching involved in this one, but once you learn the fingering "trick" it's not as hard as it might seem. Not only a great guitar part, very ethereal with all the 9ths, it's also a great exercise for the left...
Not much to do really with gear, but I figured the crowd in here might get into this...
Here's my tutorial on how to play "Ramble On". For such a mellow song, there's actually quite a bit going on in the acoustic guitar part. If you're looking to learn this tune I'm sure this vid will help...
Here's my lesson on Cheap Sunglasses by ZZ Top. Most guys don't play this right. To get it to sound good you need to use hybrid picking and there's a tuning "trick" too that makes ALL the difference.

I hope you enjoy the vid. cheers everyone
Here's my tutorial on how to play that really sweet arpeggio from Tender Surrender by Steve Vai. It happens at 2:27 of the studio recording. I've always thought it was the most interesting lick in the tune.
What's so cool about this lick is that he includes an "outside" note that you'd think...
Here's my lesson on the rhythm guitar parts to Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo by Rick Derringer. This is one of those tunes that sounds a lot easier than it is. Most guys tend to play a simplified version, but the guitar parts on the recorded version are really awesome and tricky to play. The song...
I've seen a lot of people play this, but it almost always sounds kinda "off". The secret to making it sound good is hybrid picking. Billy Gibbons is such a great guitar player. What he lacks in "flash" he more than makes up for in feel and always being 100% "in the pocket". As well as writing...
I just put this up. It's my breakdown of the rhythm guitar parts. I think this might be kinda boring if you're not interested that much in this tune, but if you're like me and have always been a bit perplexed by it, I'm pretty sure that you'll enjoy the vid...
This is my take on how to play the intro and first solo to Crossroads by Cream. A master class on mixing minor and major pentatonic scales from Eric Clapton. Recorded on March 10th, 1968 it still sounds fresh 46 years later. If you're looking to learn this tune I'm pretty sure this vid will...
