Beginner Guitar Lesson - Poison - Every Rose has Its Thorn (How To Strum)

In this lesson we look at the classic song by Poison: Every Rose Has Its Thorn also covered recently by Miley Cyrus.
My daughter first heard the Miley Cyrus version. I played her the original version. My daughter now likes Poison. So I guess Hannah Montanna isnt all bad.
The Chords we need for this song are G Cadd9 C D and Em

Beginner Guitar Lesson - Sweet Child O' Mine - Learning To Strum

The chords we need for this song are verse : D Cadd9 G D x2 and Chorus : A C D x2
In this lesson we look at how to strum the classic Guns N Roses song Sweet Child O Mine.

Many beginners come across the problem of knowing what to strum when learning a new song. This lesson hopefully helps with this.

The interesting thing with this song is the 3 versions below are all entirely different in tempo and mood and yet still have the same structure and chords.

Queen - We Are the Champions - Final Live in Japan Full Concert 1985

Queen - We Are the Champions - Final Live in Japan Full Concert 1985

We Are the Champions: Final Live in Japan is a live concert video of English rock band Queen's performance at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium, Tokyo on May 11, 1985 as part of the Japanese leg of The Works Tour. The film's title is slightly inaccurate, as Queen actually performed two more shows in Japan. The 90-minute film is not the full concert, leaving out Brian May's guitar solo and Dragon Attack. The video is also edited for time by cutting away setup waits between songs. Only officially released in Japan, it first appeared as a video release in 1992, then as a laserdisc release, before a DVD release in 2004 with new artwork, and a 2006 under the title Live in Japan 1985. The concert footage has not been studio-corrected to remove errors in sound, unlike other Queen concert video releases

Groove Guitars - Gibson Explorer copy

I recently acquired a Groove Explorer guitar with gold hardware and threw neck.
The set up was quite terrible really. Strings a mile high and the pick ups far too low. Plugged guitar in and could hardly hear anything. The tone control for the bridge pick up has to twist anti clockwise which caused some confusion at first.

But after some truss rod adjustment, lowering the action and heightened the pickups the Groove Explorer makes a quite nice little guitar.

It's a shame that a beginner would buy a guitar like this in the shop and find it almost unplayable.
