Richard Marx - Too Late To Say Goodbye | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone ;)

Mike Landau with his signature 80´s Los Angeles clean sound. If you have Tri - Chorus, this is the place!

Pay attention to those grace notes. They are the essence of the main riff ...Tons of grace notes ;)

Solo : Landau probably was using somekind of octave pedal on solo. I played all octaves separately.

Second verse bar 42 : Em9 chord sounded so good to ...

Toto - Without Your Love | Guitar cover WITH TABS | +PARIS live solos

Hi everyone! Toto song number 22.

Intro and Outro solos are from Paris live version. Main solo is studio version.

Chorus 1 & 2 - live version 2015 Baloise session / Montreux

Outro solo transcription was really hard to get on "paper". This is the best what i can do. I know every note is not how Lukather plays them but i hope you guys can live with this.

Have fun ;) 2023-07-27 17:21:42 +0000 UTC View Post

Journey - Don't Stop Believin´ | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone!

Classic Journey song Don´t Stop Believin´

I think you all know how this one goes. But check this out...there might be few little details that you have missed out.

Have fun ;)

Tina Turner - Private Dancer | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone,

Private Dancer written by the great Mark Knopfler. Guitar solo by the great(est) Jeff Beck!

All those guitar fills (that you won´t hear on the record) are taken from Tina´s live versions.

Intro chords are originally played only with keyboards, but i thought it would be a nice litte add to play them on guitar too. I couldn´t get the solo sound right so i decided...

Toto - Georgy Porgy | Guitar cover WITH TABS | Paris live solo |

Hi everyone! Finally a new post ;)

Intro + keyboard solo + main guitar solo is from Paris Live version. Rest of the song is played over original studio track. Verse part and few different fills on chorus are from 2003 Amsterdam live version.

Reason why i didn´t play the whole song over Paris live version is that Toto changed the verse part. First Cmaj7 is changed to somekind of C d...

Boz Scaggs - Right Out Of My Head | Guitar cover WITH TABS | Lukather/Huff

Hello everyone!

First of all, thank you so very much for all of you guys. Your messages made me feel so much better, thank you.

So what we have here...Cool Boz song with tasty guitar riffs, fills & solo. No more than Mr. Steve Lukather & Mr. Dann Huff on guitar. 

John Cafferty - Hearts On Fire | Guitar cover WITH TABS | ROCKY IV

Hi everyone, Movie night again!

This was super fan song to play...and also surprisingly hard one. Or at least those keyboard lines. You really need to focus to get them right. 

Who ever made this arrangement was a real genius. Cool chord progression and beautiful extended chords!

Have fun ;)

Daryl Hall & John Oates - Maneater | Guitar cover WITH TABS | + SAX SOLO/OUTRO SOLO

Hi everyone!

What we have here...let´s see.

Guitar 1 is pretty much how it goes on the studio version. Except the first verse, originally there is no guitar but i decided to go for it. 

Guitar 2 is selection of of guitar fills they play on their live versions. On the video time 2:22 i accidentally play the wrong inversion of the G chord. Follow the tab and you get it rig...

Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone! 

This is great sequel to my earlier YouTube video Burning Heart. One of those great Rocky IV soundtrack songs.

I take a personal liberty to play some of those keybord parts. On the recording guitar is not playing any of those lines. Pretty straight forward rock song! Hardest part is that sixteenth note rhythm pattern on middle part.

Have fun ;)

Toto - Out Of Love | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone, Toto song number 20! Out Of Love

One of four songs recorded with singer Jean-Michel Byron. Definitely some gospel influence on this song.

Acoustic guitar parts are mainly according to Toto´s live version.

GUITAR PRO "plays" those lead fills with wrong phrasing. Listen the recorded version to get them right.

Have fun ;)

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell | Guitar cover WITH TABS | + RAYGUN

Hi everyone ;) 

Classic Billy Idol song! RAYGUN thing is just for entertainment ;) I didn´t "play" it for real.

This was also good song to test Rabea´s plugins synth section. Worked quite nice...i think...last verse after the solo.

Have fun!

Madonna - Like a Virgin | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone!

Great rhythmic workout with Queen of pop!

Have fun!

McAuley Schenker Group MSG - Anytime

Hi everyone!

First time ever...here MSG - ANYTIME

So  much going on on guitar! You probably can’t do all when playing live.  If you look how they do it , you will notice there is no clean guitar on chorus. That could be one approach.

HAVE FUN ;)

Giant - I´m A Believer | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone! Finally some more Giant stuff!!!

Dann plays the intro on quite free tempo. Gp file sounds occasionally litte wrong compared to the original recording...rhytmically i mean. So i recommend that you listen the phrasing from the record first.

Have fun ;)

Glenn Frey - The Heat Is On | Guitar cover WITH TABS | Beverly Hills Cop 1

Hi Everyone! Movie time...again ;)

I played the rhythm guitar on verse with pick & fingers. That creates nice rhythmic feel and nuance. You can experiment which way you like it.

Most challenging part is that fast sixteenth note strumming figure. 150bpm...Try to be as relaxed as you can and don´t do too big motion on your picking hand...There´s no time for that ;)

Have fu...

Cher - If I Could Turn Back Time | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone!

Nothing special to say about this...just go for it and have fun ;)

Toto - Hold The Line | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone, Toto - Hold The Line!

I use power chord with octave on intro riff. Seems like Lukather used this form in the earlier years, nowadays he plays just root & the fifth. You can experiment which way you like it.

Chorus 2 & 3. Guitar fills are from Toto’s live versions

Solo  bar 44 : is played like Luke shows it on Star Licks video. Quite  interestin...

Survivor - Broken Promises | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone!

Patreon request by Søren, thank you so much. What a classic rock song!

Randy Crawford - You Might Need Somebody | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone,

The most beautiful version of this song. Steve Lukather all over it!!!

Original version : Turley Richards

Other versions: Joe Walsh , Anna Oxa , Shola Ama.

Have Fun!

Journey - Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) |

Hi everyone,

Main riff playing tip : 

- Use strings 5 & 4 muted for percussive notes

- Use strings 3 & 2 for natural harmonis. (fret five)

Solo :

That fast part...after i have recorded and filmed the solo i noticed that Neal hits few bended notes during the fast line. I added those notes to the tab but you see me playing that run without bends.

H...

Toto - Caught In The Balance | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

HELLO EVERYONE, Toto song number 18 on my patreon page. Caught In The Balance.

All the rhythm parts are played by using your pick and middle finger. (Except chorus). Interlude follows Toto´s live version...it´s little bit different than the original recording.

Solo:

Few big bends...2 whole steps. Don´t hurt yourself ;) You can always try playing it whole step higher and ben...

Toto - Stop Loving you | Guitar cover WITH TABS | + OUTRO SOLO & LIVE ENDING

Hi Everyone! Toto song number 17 on my patreon page - Stop Loving You

Rhythm guitar tip off : Think triplet feel when you play sixteenth notes. But not too much...should i say subtle shuffle ;)

John Waite - Missing You | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone!

Missing You - Probably John´s biggest hit. Also featured in TV series Miami Vice (episode "Heart Of Darkness") Those were the days!

PITCH CORRECTED -0.50

There are few possibilities  how you can play this song. 1. Like i play it on the video, of course. 2. With capo on first fret...little less movement to your left hand because of the open string option. 3. ...

Robben Ford - Ain´t Got Nothin´ But The Blues | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hello Everyone, Bluesy Thursday!

My version is more about the rhythm guitar perspective. Every chorus is played  with different chord voicings. You can choose what chord forms suits best for you. I didnt play all those Robben´s fills but you can find them on my transcription. Solo part is me impovising based on Robben´s solo.

Theory b...
