Nirvana – In Bloom (Tabs) Nirvana’s In Bloom is a nice, easy one. It’s almost all strumming. There’s just a bit of fingerpicking in the first half of the verses. The rest is just blasting out chords with a few extra notes here and there. The only challenging part is the second half of bar […]

R.E.M. – Find the River (Tab) Here’s my take on a track from R.E.M.’s massive Automatic for the People: Find the River. Intro: Easing into the song with a very straightforward four bars. Then into some tricky fast picking in the next four bars. Be sure to play the G chord in bars 5 and […]

The Beach Boys – Surfin’ USA (Tab) Keeping up the summer vibes (and the Brian Wilson tributes) with The Beach Boys’ Surfin’ USA. Musically, the song is based on Chuck Berry’s Sweet Little Sixteen. But Wilson took the wise decision to change the lyrics. The key technique throughout is strum blocking i.e. muting the strings […]

Bananarama – Cruel Summer (Tabs) Here’s one to learn while sweating your bollocks (or lady bollocks) off: Bananarama’s Cruel Summer. The intro is by far the hardest part of this one. It gets fiddly at the top of the fretboard. Apart from that, it’s pretty straightforward. There’s only three chords in the whole song (Em, […]

Billy Joel – Piano Man (Tab) Here’s my take on Billy Joel’s Piano Man. Intro: The song kicks off with a couple of jazz licks that are completely unrelated to the rest of the song. But do sound cool. It’s fine to drop those if you’re not into it. Or adjust it to your taste. […]

Charles Mingus – Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (Tab) I hope you’re not coming here for a detailed harmonic breakdown of Charles Mingus’s Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, because I have no idea what he’s doing most of the time. Which made it a tough song for me to memorise. With all the unfamiliar chords and movements, […]

Foo Fighters – Everlong Bob Marley – Is This Love Kendrick Lamar – reincarnated Darude – Sandstorm If you don’t care about playing in the original key, you can not bother tuning down the C-string and just move everything on the E- and A-strings up a fret. The National – Exile Vilify (Portal 2)
