Lou Reed – Perfect Day (Tab) Here’s Lou Reed’s Perfect Day in tribute to Herbie Flowers who passed away last week. As well as Lou Reed, Herbie played bass for David Bowie, Roger Daltrey, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and many others. He contributed iconic bass lines to Walk on the Wild Side (which you can […]
Oasis – Acquiesce (Tab) This might be the first time I’ve arranged a b-side. But with Oasis reforming and the country being mad for it, I’ve tabbed my favourite Oasis song: Acquiesce. It’s a very simple song. You’re just bashing out chords for the most part. The only wrinkle is the stretch at the start […]

Nelly Furtado – I’m Like A Bird (Tab) For my arrangement of Nelly Furtado’s I’m Like a Bird, I’ve slowed things down a little. Which emphasises the song’s melancholy feel.

Intro: The intro is a very simple bit of fingerpicking. It’s a good piece to try if you’re new to fingericking. The thumb picks everything on the C- and E-strings. And […]

Bob Dylan – Buckets of Rain (Tab) Here’s my take on Buckets of Rain from Bob Dylan’s incredible album Blood on the Tracks. This one gets a little fiddly in places. But there are only really two sections. So it’s not a lot to get down. I’m using one finger per string picking all the […]
Weezer – Island in the Sun (Tab) In a shocking turn of events, it’s raining in England. So here’s Weezer’s Island in the Sun for some sunny vibes. Intro: Just strumming out the chords. Be sure to make the “hip hip” bits stand out. Verse and Chorus: Other than a slide up to the fifth […]
