Joy Division – Love Will Tear Us Apart (Tab) Don your Joy Division oven gloves for a round of Love Will Tear Us Apart. Intro/Outro: This section ramps up the tension and anticipation. In the original, the bass plays an A power chord, and the guitar plays an Em chord. Combined, these produce an A9 […]
Ray Charles – Hit the Road Jack (Tab) Ray Charles’s Hit the Road Jack is tricky to play. Mostly because it’s so quick. I’ve slowed it slightly from the original. But it’s still a challenge. Intro: This sets up two aspects that run through the whole song. First, the descending pattern of Dm-C-Bb-A7. And second, […]

Buena Vista Social Club – Chan Chan (Tab) Chan Chan was originally written by Compay Segundo. But it’s the Buena Vista Social Club version that is best known. And it’s that one I worked from. Intro: The intro sets up the chord progression that’s used (adding a 6 or 7 here and there) all the […]
Monty Python – Always Look on the Bright Side of Life (Tabs) Diving into 2025 with some wildly unjustifiable optimism in the shape of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life from Monty Python’s Life of Brian. Intro: Lots of jumping around the neck in the section. But it’s slow and loose, so it’s […]
