Run To You

I have seen Bryan Adams live twice so far in my lifetime, both occasions were excellent.
This is my favourite, Run To You, which, needless to say, I am learning on my trusty Strat copy.

Here There & Everywhere by The Beatles

Paid Glen Robinson a visit this week for another lesson. Again, the bar has been raised and am learning this tricky song by the Beatles.

Heavy Metal

I love heavy metal. Judas Priest are one of the best bands around. The music is not dreary and boring like the stuff we put up with today such as Coldplay, it's got some oomph and really gives you energy. Living After Midnight was inspired by Rob Halford not being able to sleep whilst the others were jamming downstairs in the early hours. Incidentally the house they were jamming in was once owned by a certain John Lennon.

All My Loving



Am also on learning this. The Beatles cartoons were the height of daftness but still hilarious.

Whistle For The Choir


I am currently learning this great song by the Fratellis. It's quite easy, you can either bar the chords or use a capo. The chords for the song are E maj, F#m, G#m,and B.

Yellow Submarine

This is one of my favourite cartoon films. The Beatles were also the first band I was really into at an early age. They weren't that trendy in the 1970's and 80's but I didn't care. Anyone who declares they don't like any Beatles song is a liar.

Anyway, this song isn't as easy as you would think, it has some tricky chord changes but sounds really good when played on an acoustic.

Wonderwall


This is the first song I learned on guitar, and I was very fortunate to see Oasis play Glastonbury live in 1995.
