There are countless variations on how to play any good folk tune, but I thought this deserved a closer look. In the source recording of this, the quaver-crotchet-quaver (eighth-quarter-eighth) rhythm was… More…
This is a very pretty waltz written by Lollo Meier from his album Rosas. He taught it to me 17+ years ago. The chord shapes are the ones he taught me that I wrote down in my practice notebook. I've also… More…

Another three-riff banger from Nuclear Assault's Handle With Care, Torture Tactics. This one is even more straight forward, but the use of triplets makes it extremely catchy! Be careful after the chorus… More…
It is not clear to me exactly who played this killer solo on Double Exposure's 1975 track "My Love Is Free" but I am guessing it was Norman Harris from MFSB. There is a chance it could have also been Bobby… More…
