Brian May Star Licks Guitar Video - with on screen guitar tab





http://1drv.ms/1IPv2S3 Star Licks Brian May booklet PDF download

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
