“Iron Man” by Black Sabbath - Video Guitar Lesson
One of the all-time HEAVIEST guitar riffs must be “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath. Fill your victims (neighbors!) full of dread by turning your amp up to 11 and playing this Tony Iommi classic!
The tabs are in the video (full and 1/2 speed, how cool!) but here they are for your off-video practice.

A song that seems to get alot of requests on-stage and at backyard/campfire jams is “Wanted: Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi. This tune is a great rock anthem with some very cool arpeggio picking guitar parts

Play “About A Girl” by Nirvana - Video Guitar Lesson
It’s nearly 15 years since the death of guitarist/songwriter Kurt Cobain but the music of Nirvana still influences almost every ‘alternative’ rock group to this day. Great songwriting, great voice and a great riff writer. This video guitar lesson shows how to play Nirvana’s “About A Girl”, the MTV Unplugged “Live in New York” version.
On the video I first run through the parts then show the parts half speed, breaking down the chords, strum patterns and the solo.
If you like this lesson and want to learn more Nirvana consider taking private lessons with me. You might also like to check out the following resources:

Play “Sunshine Of Your Love” on Guitar
Hey Guitar Players,
This latest website page is a test of a new video template I plan to use for upcoming guitar lessons. The video shows how to play the opening riff to Cream’s “Sunshine Of Your Love”. Cream featured, of course, Eric Clapton.
The video features both full-speed and half-speed versions of the parts shown. In an overlay within the video I show full tablature (with rhythms) that is animated to follow the video AND… a full guitar neck that is also animated! I haven’t seen anything like it elsewhere. Check it out by clicking the video below.
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
I am attempting to recreate most of the visuals of the Riff Interactive browser plug-in I use on my download lesson packages. I feel the cool thing about this new approach is that it is accessible by all web browser and operating systems. Cool? Cool!
Now, this riff is displayed here “For Education Purposes” only!! I taught this part to a private student and am putting this up on GuitarTeacher.com for reference. Try the following links for a full transcription:
