Brian May Super Rock Guitarist Book (Out of Print)


Brian May book out of print now but theres a few knocking about on eBay. I got this one for about £6.
Really handy book contains tab for Brighton Rock which I havnt seen in any other publication. As well as the fast version of We Will Rock You and Ogre Battle.
Keep Youself Alive, Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are The Champions are tabbed from the Live Killers album which is handy to have if you want to play these songs with your band.
Each song contains a quite comprehensive gear and theory explanation too

We Will Rock You (Fast Version)
Brighton Rock
Keep Yourself Alive
Bohemian Rhapsody
Dont Stop Me Now
Now im here
Ogre battle
Tie Your Mother Down
We Are The Champions

This is a look at the solo from Hammer To Fall the single version. The album version is longer and the 12inch headbangers mix is longer again. The live version from the Live at Wembely is well worth watching.

The guitar tab is onscreen and broken down into sections

Which Beginner Guitar Should I Buy? - Westfield Stratocaster

Another bargain a Westfield Stratocaster with nice maple neck.
With the Fender decal it really does look the business. Plays well and keeps tune.

Which Beginner Guitar Should I Buy? - Nevada 3/4 Size electric guitar

This guitar isnt going to set the world alight and I did have a few tuning problems with it.
But for the average 8-10 year old or younger this is an ideal little guitar.
Or if you want to make yourself look like a giant then its ideal too.

Eugenes Trick Bag - Virtuoso Guitar Piece

This piece of music is from the 1986 film Crossroads a blues film staring the Karate Kid Ralph Macchio.
I saw this film aged 14 and knew then that if I learned to play Eugenes Trick Bag then I'd come a long way in my quest to play guitar.
