This series of guitar lessons for beginners covers topics like: tuning your guitar, how to hold your guitar, parts of the guitar, technique for both hands, how to strum, how to play your first chords, and even how to play your first song on the guitar.

Most beginners think that you need to know thousands of chords to play thousands of songs. NOT SO! You really only need to know a handful of chords and a few strumming patterns to play thousands of rock, folks, blues and pop songs.

The reason guitar is the most popular instrument on the planet is because it's the quickest and easiest instrument to learn how to play guitar. You do NOT need to read music. You do NOT need to learn music theory. You do NOT need to struggle through exercises, or practice scales, or learn how to play Mary Had A Little Lamb.

Fact is that thousands of popular songs can be played with 8 simple chords or less. Learn just the A chord, D chord and E chord and you'll be able to play hundreds of blues, folk, pop and rock songs. Why is this so? Because rock, pop, folk and blues songwriters all use the same handful of chords - it's their melodies and arrangements that make their songs distinctive, NOT the chords they are using in the song.

So, if you learn that handful of chords, and learn those few strumming patterns, along with the basics of holding and tuning a guitar, then you too will be able to play thousands of songs. And that's the simple truth.

World renowned guitar educator Ravi has taught thousands of people to play their favorite songs on guitar with his breakthrough 21-day course. The "trick" behind this course is really no trick at all; over the 21 days you'll learn how to hold and tune the guitar, how to play eight simple chords, how to strum, and how to keep a beat.

No gimmicks. No "magic" formula. No nonsense.

You will need to set 20 minutes a day aside for your practice sessions. No more and no less. And you are asked to do this for 21 days straight. Yes, you can skip a day or two but the daily repetition and practice regiment is the key to your success.

Ravi has also included additional lessons for you to work with beyond the 21 days. You'll learn more open position chords, the moveable barre chord system (worth the price of admission alone!), how to read chord charts, and how to easily and quickly learn songs from sheet music, song books and lyric sheets that you download from the internet.

Ravi will step you through the course and each of your practice sessions on the video lessons. Follow the course for those 21 days and beyond and we guarantee that you'll be prepared to start playing and building your own repertoire of favorite songs to accompany yourself or play in a band setting.

No, you will not be an Eric Clapton in 21 days and we wouldn't suggest you book your first gig on the 22nd day BUT you will be a guitar player and you will be well equipped to learn ALL of your favorite songs.

If you've always wanted to learn to play guitar so that you can strum along and sing your favorite songs, Learn Guitar in 21 Days is likely the answer you've been seeking.

The original video came with a guitar tab booklet. As a teenager I found the way the tab was written difficult to follow. So Ive written the tab out as standard and added it to the screen. With the exception of Love Of My Life which the booklet has in normal guitar tab.

Plus I didnt want to blank out Brian's right picking hand

 The video has explanation of Brian May's gear as well as how to play solo's Bohemian Rhapsody Somebody To Love Crazy Little Thing Called Love March Of The Black Queen and many more

B.B. King - Dies 14th May 2015

With the sad passing of B.B. King of 14th May 2015 I decided to take a look at the guitarist rated as the most influential blues guitarist of all time  



B.B King with his famous guitar named Lucille

Check out the best of album




wiki info

Rolling Stone ranked King number 6 on its 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time (previously ranked number 3 in the 2003 edition of the same list). He was ranked No. 17 in Gibson's "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time". According to Edward M. Komara, King "introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that would influence virtually every electric blues guitarist that followed."  King was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. He was considered one of the most influential blues musicians of all time, earning the nickname "The King of the Blues", and one of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" (along with Albert King and Freddie King). King was also known for performing tirelessly throughout his musical career, appearing at more than 200 concerts per year on average into his 70s.  In 1956, he reportedly appeared at 342 shows

Hofner CT Club Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar - Review



Hofner CT Club Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar

Lovely guitar with a Beatlesque retro look see below for spec


Quality tonewoods, great playing feel, and superb tone.
The Hofner CT Club is a semi-hollow electric guitar that provides warm, full tone and the brightness to make individual notes sing. The CT Club has a spruce top and eye-popping flamed maple back and sides. A strong, set maple neck is carved in a comfortable C shape, so you can play the CT Club guitar all night long. Two Hofner mini humbucker pickups kick out plenty of volume and sparkle, whether you're wowing a jazz crowd or getting a little funky with your wah-wah pedal.

Hofner has a real affinity with the archtop acoustic jazz guitar. From the early '50s, Hofner set standards for archtop design and manufacture with many famous guitar models such as the Senator, President and Golden Hofner, all of which are now collectors' items.

The Hofner tradition is carried forward today with their current range of jazz guitars and the Verythin family of guitar models.

How To Play Cum On Feel The Noize - Slade (guitar tutorial) - Rock Licks Guitar Tuition South Shields



How to play Cum On Feel the Noize by Slade on acoustic guitar

"Cum On Feel the Noize" is a rock song originally released by Slade in 1973.
Written by Jim Lea and Noddy Holder and produced by Chas Chandler, "Cum On Feel the Noize" was Slade's fourth number-one single in the UK and their first to enter straight at number one. As a single from Slade, it was a follow-up to "Gudbuy T' Jane", a #2-hit in the UK.
The title is also often spelled as "Come on Feel the Noise", due to common spelling or censorship reasons (due to the sexual meaning of the word cum).
The single's b-side "I'm Mee, I'm Now, and That's Orl" was voted #3 of the top three Slade b-sides in the Slade Fan Club Poll of 1979

The Handy Shop and Jump Records - South Shields Record Shops

 

Pictures found on Facebook South Shields Old Pictures

In the day's before iTunes and MP3's and even before CD's vinyl records were the order of the day.
Not everyone could afford brand new Albums or Singles.

In the 70's my Dad would by and sell his records to the Handy Shop in Frederick Street. As a little boy it seemed a treasure trove of vinyl records and picture discs hanging on the wall.
An oldish couple owned it and were always so friendly and enthusiastic about music.

As a teenager in the 80's I discovered Jump Records not far from the Customs House. It seemed like the House of Rock. With rock and heavy metal posters and vinyl ranging from AC/DC to ZZ Top.
The original owner was a quiet guy with cork screw curls and a guitar behind the counter. He didn't say much but he looked like he knew everything about music.

In 1991 it was the place I first heard the Guns N Roses Illusion albums being played and discussed by a group of heavy metal fans, Fond memories.

On the counter was bootleg vinyl which cost the grand sum of £20 - £30. The best of which I bought was Queen Live At Knebworth on Wizard Quest records. (wish I still had it)

With introduction of CD's in the early 90's it never quite seemed the same.
It nice to see a renewed interest in vinyl records.
