We are the Champions - acoustic

August 28th 2008 05:56
Queen - we are the Champions


Anyone who plays guitar like this can claim to be a champion. The famous Queen classic has be rendered into a classical arrangement on one guitar, it boggles the mind how people are so talented.

This is an Edgar Cruz arrangement and I will try to track down a lesson at some stage. If you don't know who Edgar Cruz is please see my post on Bohemian Rhapsody or on Crazy little thing called love.


The man is a genius and the sounds he creates are out of this world...

Note, this is not Edgar playing, but it is just as good...

One of Tommy Emmanuel's famous and most requested arrangements. This Beatles remake of Lady Madonna and Day Tripper oozes class, technique, skill and sheer talent. One wonders if he plays guitar in his sleep.

Emmanuel learned while young the thumb picking technique and it is in full swing here! Emmanuel manages to play the bass, melody and rhythm all at the one time on one guitar.





"Day Tripper and Lady Madonna"






You want to attempt to learn how to play it? Tommy does his best to slow it down for you... but at first, it will feel very unnatural.

You ahve to learn to get your thumb to play against your other fingers... not easy, but a great sound if you can pull it off!

Have fun! Keep jammin!

Brian May Masterclass

August 12th 2008 06:03

Brian May proves he is one of the greatest guitarists of his generation. This is a very simple technique but sounds so cool.

I think we will look more into pedals in the coming weeks and how they can be used to come up with cool effects. His sound when playing for Queen was so distinctive and effortless. Oh I wish I could play that way!

Two Coins - Dispatch

July 3rd 2008 06:59



f you haven't already guessed, I like Dispatch. The music, the lyrics, the guitar work are all top notch. The cool thing is you can play it any way you like, they can be manipulated and interpreted how you like.

Here is the song and there is a lesson below that takes you step by step.


"Two Coins"








LYRICS

I stick loneliness, your lips
and the two coins of your eyes
into my pockets

well the train skates into
Port Henry late sunday
sometimes when I'm riding high
feeling fine you know there's something
troubling my mind

so I reach into my pocket for some
small change
I reach into my pocket for some
small change

I want bones like iron blood like mercury
so I can tell you when I'm rising
and I'm sinking in

chorus

we're gonna take it to the people
hey let's drink from the cup
share some luck
go ahead and laugh cause it don't
cost much

I stick loneliness, your lips
and the two coins of your eyes
into my pockets



"The Lesson"

One of the prettiest songs around... If you have a good singing voice you should definitely take the time to learn this one.

Hopefully from watching this video you can pick it up - if not, just enjoy the melody
