The Police - Message In A Bottle | Guitar cover WITH TABS | + SOLOS

Hi Everyone, Another patreon request coming up!

INTRO : Really cool guitar arrangement from Mr. Summers. There are actually three parts instead of just two. That third guitar which plays only one note makes full triad to each chord ( i mean first the note )

PRE-CHORUS : Those two fills are so low on the mix that it was impossible to say excat how Andy plays them...but this is how i ...

Tina Turner - We Don´t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)| Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hello everyone! Patreon request number 3 ;)

Pitch corrected -0,20

VERSE : Chords that you see me playing on the video are taken from Tina’s live version. If those chords are played on the record….well you really can’t hear ;)

CHORUS : Those distorted chords are very low on the mix, but once again if you check out Tina’s live version you notice that those chords really ...

Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone Top Gun | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone! Another patreon request!

This song is probably played in Eb tuning but i decided to go with standard tuning. In my opinion it works very well that way. Only down side is that the key is little awkward!

I couldn´t resist to play that cool keyboard sequence. Very goog scale exercise by the way.

Have fun ;)

Bad English - Straight To Your Heart | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Happy weekend everyone! Bad English request fulfilment ;)

Tuning half step up...not very common thing in guitar tunings but i think this is how it´s done.

Mr. Mister - Broken Wings | Guitar cover WITH TABS | + Solo STEVE LUKATHER

Hi everyone!

Classic Mr. Mister song Broken Wings. I also transcribed Steve Lukather´s live solo from Ringo Starr and his All Star band version. 

Have fun ;)

Keith Urban - One Too Many with P!nk | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone,

I have never played anything like this before on my site. I mean anything this new ;) The song was rerleased 2020!!! Usually things here are so 80´s. This was really fun to play...quite easy going pop song with tasty guitar fills and lines. I hope you like it.

Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World

Hello everyone, 

Everybody Wants To Rule The World ( Pitch corrected -0,66 )

Guitar 3 :

Drop D tuning because the guitar doubles the bass (verse). When you play this in real life you don´t need to double the bass. So standard tuning will do just fine.

What a great triplet workout. Really clever rhythm parts and cool syncopated riffs.

Have fun ;)

Tina Turner - The Best | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone!

Tina Turner - The Best ( Original Bonnie Tyler )

CHORUS : Those arpeggiated chords (distorted guitar) which i´m playing are sort of my own arrangement....mimicking the keyboard part. You can leave that part out if you want. IMO it sounds quite good ;)

Have fun ;)

Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone! 

Kim Carnes definitely made this song popular. Original version was written and composed by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon in 1974. Quite a different feeling...check it out ;)

Just in case if you wonder, i finetuned my guitar up about 0.15. For matching better with the track.

Have fun ;)

Toto - Pamela | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hello everyone,

This is mainly live in Poland (35th Anniversary) version. Cool Lukather licks here and there. I wanted to keep the original solo.

BAR 8

In Live version Lukather seems to play E7#9 chord (Hendrix chord) Studio version IMO is

E+ (augmented)

FIRST CHORUS

Is played like it is on the record. Rest of the choruses are from live version (Live In Polan...

Bryan Adams - Somebody | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hello everyone, have a wonderful weekend ;)

When you play the verse part pay attention to open g - string on each chord. You really want it to ring out loud and clear. It makes all the difference for the song. Little detail but so important.

Have fun!

Katrina & The Waves | Walking On Sunshine |

Hi everyone, two uploads this time ;)

Few words...

When you watch bands live version of the song, you will notice that they don´t use capo. I´m quite sure that the studio version is played with capo...there is this certain feel that open string chords sounds.

If you want to play without capo check out OVERDRIVEN GUITAR transcription. You can use those chord forms.

One ...

Michael McDonald - I Keep Forgettin´ |

Hi everyone,

Steve Lukather with Michael McDonald...what more can you ask ;)  Quite a Combo!

Few words,

KEYS ARR FOR GUITAR (TAB)  is not excat how Michael plays on the record. Those are rather  something you could experiment on guitar.  Have fun ;)

Bon Jovi - Runaway | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hello everyone, i wish you all happy thursday!

Few words...

Watched a Youtube video where Tim Pierce shows how he played the intro. He plays those natural harmonics on 9th fret. Probably every transcription / instructional video tells you that it’s played on 5th fret. Somehow I get the feeling that the 5th fret sounds more right than 9th fret…

Is there a change that Tim re...

Christopher Cross - Ride Like The Wind

Hi, Happy thursday evening to everyone.

Christopher Cross this time. I wish you all the best  mid summer weekend. Ride Like The Wind ;)

Billy Ocean - Caribbean Queen | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi, Caribbean Queen...SO 80´s

Triad / Common chord rhythm part  is originally played only by keys. But i thought it would be nice addition if you know the chord forms on guitar too. Works quite nicely on guitar...

Have fun!!

Michael Bolton - Steel Bars | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi,

What can i say....It´s Michael Bolton ;) And if i understood right it is a song that Bob Dylan wrote with Michael Bolton for his Time, Love & Tenderness album.!

Have Fun!

Whitesnake - You're Gonna Break My Heart Again | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi everyone, Whitesnake / John Sykes this time

Drop D tuning!!! ( only the low e string )

INTRO RIFF: Somehow i get the feeling that it´s arranged to two guitar. One is playing those double stops on d and g strings & other one plays them g and b strings. I played them like that and really liked the result...( see the video )

Quite challenging solo section. There are some ...

Chaka Khan - Ain´t Nobody | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hello everyone, Classic Chaka song this time ;)

There is not so much going on on guitar. However i thought it would be nice bonus to arrange quite a few keyboard parts to guitar.

Have a groovy thursday!!!

BTW check out my earlier guitar version of this song. It´s on YouTube and my Patreon page. Great bunch os soloing ideas there ;)

Toto - White Sister | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi, It´s Toto Thursday ;) 

I improvised my own outro solo this time. It´s based on Luke´s licks and few of my own ideas. Transcription is what you hear on the recording.

Have fun ;)

Winger - Seventeen | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Winger - Seventeen | Guitar cover WITH TABS | Guitar Pro / PDF files

Hello everyone, It´s Winger time!

Eb tuning = half step down. There are slight differences between two guitars. Check them both out and choose how you want to play this.

Have fun ;)

Patrick Swayze - She's Like The Wind

Hi, Movie time...again ;)

Just in case you are wondering about tuning...it´s slightly sharp, fine tune about +0,20

Have fun ;)

Scorpions - Don't Stop At The Top

Hi,

Main melody which appears in the intro , middle and  the end of the song is probably played with octaver. My version is played separately in both octaves to simulate the sound of octaver.

Gibson - Rudolf Schenker

Music Man - Matthias Jabs

Have fun ;)

Bob Seger - Shakedown ( Beverly Hills Cop 2 )

Hi, Movie time!!!

Great Dann Huff on solo guitar. Originally there is no rhythm guitar at all. This is kind of  arrangement for guitar...mainly based on what keys/horns are playing.

Have fun ;)

Heart - Alone | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi, Classic 80´ song! Have fun ;)

Steve Lukather - Can´t Look Back | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi guys! Have a great thursday ;)

This has been reguested several times...now it´s finally done ;) To be  honest, the solo part  terrified me. I was pretty sure that i  can´t do it! ...Well...i´m pretty happy how it turns out. I hope you like it!

Have Fun

Tina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With It

Hi, So much guitar!!!

"Since we wanted everything stereo, we recorded all the guitars in  stereo, and a double-tracked, damped guitar might use anywhere up to  four tracks for a single part. Then, if we tracked it, that would take  up eight tracks. Thats how sound engineer John Hudson says it ;)

INTRO/VERSE: Quite big strecth going on. Capo on fret 2 might be helpful ...

Toto - Only The Children | Guitar cover WITH TABS |

Hi, It´s Toto thursday ;)

Few little details

In verse part pay attention to that first A chord. It´s not A5 (almost all youtubers play it like regular A5 chord. But if you listen carefully and watch some Toto´s live version you will find that it is actually Asus2. 

This little Bm lick (last chord on verse) is how Lukather play it live. I think that is  a nice litt...

Deep Purple - Burn | Guitar cover WITH TABS | Two guitars + hammond solo

Hi! El Classic Rock!!

Few words...Two great triads workout coming up. Guitar and hammond! Guitar version is little bit easier to play...fits better to your fingers. Hammond part is more challenging but playable ;)

Tip : Try slide when playing guitar 2. I have a strong feeling that it´s played with slide.

John Parr - St. Elmo´s Fire | Guitar Cover WITH TABS |

All guitar parts + keys + brass

Hi, Movie time ;)

Mighty Steve Lukather on guitar!!!!

Intro and verse 1 & 2 are originally without guitar. I didnt want to sit still on the video so i played some of those keyboard parts. 

You can find transcriptions on keys and brass parts too. I strongly recommend that you check  those out. Nice way to add some flavour and ...
