Stealers Wheel – Stuck in the Middle with You (Tab) Stuck in the Middle with You is just strumming almost all the way through. Just a bit of fingerpicking on the “please-e-e-e-e-ease” bits and in the solo. And the fretting hand isn’t too much of a challenge either. There’s a fair amount of bouncing up […]

Stereophonics – Handbags and Gladrags (Tab) Handbags and Gladrags was written by, lead singer of Manfred Mann, Mike d’Abo in the sixties. But it wasn’t until the song was used as the theme to The Office (UK) and Stereophonics released a version that it became a hit. And it’s that version I based this arrangement […]

R.E.M. – Nightswimming (Tab) Today I’m talkin’ REM RE:you and doing a version of Nigthswimming. The chords for this one are very simple, and the melody fits nicely on the fretboard. But the way the vocals shift unevenly against the chords made this tricky for me to get my head around. The other challenge is […]

Green Day – American Idiot (Tab) Green Day’s American Idiot doesn’t require a whole lot finesse. Just blasting out the strums all the way through. The hardest bit is making sure the strum blocking is effective in the parts where there’s just a vocal melody. The solo is just messing around with the chorus melody […]

Pinky & the Brain Theme (Tab) The Pinky and the Brain theme is a lot of fun to play. I always love a bit of strum blocking on the riff, i.e. strumming all the strings and muting all but one. It gives the tune a forceful, percussive sound that you can’t get from just picking. […]

The Smiths – There is a Light That Never Goes Out (Tab) Keeping it Manchester themed after Joy Division, here’s The Smiths’ There Is a Light That Never Goes Out Intro: A quick intro previously used by Marvin Gaye, The Rolling Stones and The Velvet Underground. It uses one of Marr’s favourite tricks: letting open […]
