I used to play this riff as a teenager and I spent a couple of hours practicing it up again. Dire Straits!
Saturdays are for guitar!🎸

@jacksonjerami8 If it fits give it a try! Maybe it'll solve the trouble.

Another tune that influenced Clapton and the other British invasion guitarists who really invented rock. Before them, American rock was really just 12-bar blues played really fast and loud (Chuck Berry, Elvis.) Those Brits invented what we love as rock!
Freddie King-Hideaway!

@jacksonjerami8 The new one doesn't fit you guitar? The slots look about in the right place.

@RoyRogers_HTMS Thanks so much Roy!!

The middle section of Stairway to Heaven has always been my favorite part to play on guitar.

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

@DonnaBowe10 Awesome!

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

@DonnaBowe10 It's not but you can screenshot the part you're working on if you need to. It actually plays along to the actual track if you have the paid version. The free one plays a digital instrument. Very high quality usually.

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

@DonnaBowe10 Just search "Stairway tab" on Google. One of the first results will be Songsterr. Those are generally the highest quality tabs out there.

@HereForAstros I haven't! I'll check it out!

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

If you've never played Wildwood Flower, you're missing out on such a fun and easy tune! I've taught this to thousands of people in my 30 years of teaching and it's always a favorite.
I just posted a step by step on my Youtube if you're interested.

@DonnaBowe10 Thank you as always Donna! Yes I love the whole song of course, but ever since I was young this has been my favorite part to play. It's so gentle and flowing.

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

@jonnyztodd Thanks!

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

Morning! Here's the whole rhythm part for Come Together by the Beatles. One of their easiest guitar tunes!

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

@CostanzoJim Yeah this one has some funky lyrics!

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

@jacksonjerami8 Man that thing is giving you a headache!

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

Blues is American. All the American 50's artists you named played almost exclusively 12 bar blues. I will agree that playing it real fast and loud may have given rock its spark, but the Beatles brought it back to America transformed into the music that inspired all the 60's American artists you named.

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

@ironcanary So cool!

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

@Crayon36305326 Thank you!

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

Emerson Lake and Palmer had some iconic guitar parts in addition to their signature keyboards. This intro always fakes you out because it starts the same as Roundabout by Yes!

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

@CalixeCampos Such a great one!

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

@john_ledrew Same here! I always start plucking those fast arpeggios.

[Strum With Me @StrumWithMe1]

@RobEver13 Thank you Robert!
