Jan 1st
Ah yes! Another laid-back classic guitar tune that is Sleepwalk. Makes you forget about the worries of life for a few precious moments…
“Sleep Walk is an instrumental steel guitar-based song recorded and released in 1959 by brothers Santo & Johnny. The song was composed by Santo and Johnny Farina as well. [4]” – Wikipedia
Many covers have been done for this song. However this one done by Joe Satriani stands out as more “current”.
Here’s the Sleepwalk guitar tabs for those of you who want to add it to your arsenal of guitar songs that make girls go weak in the knees. Enjoy!
A Change of Seasons – Dream Theater
Sep 9th
Came across this piece by Dream Theater many years ago when I downloaded it by accident. And till this day, it still remains as one of my all-time favourite song – A song that changes from one “season” to another, hence the title A Change of Seasons.
“Dream Theater was formed in 1985 under the name “Majesty” by Petrucci, Myung, and Portnoy, while they all were studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, before dropping out to help support the band. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remain today along with LaBrie and Rudess. Dream Theater has become one of the most commercially successful progressive bands since the height of progressive rock in the mid-1970s, despite being relatively unknown in mainstream rock circles. Though the band has had a few extremely successful hits (notably ‘Pull Me Under‘ in the early 1990s, which had extensive MTV rotation), it has mostly stayed underground for its career, feeding off support from fans.” - Wikipedia
It’s approximately 20 minutes long, but with the technical proficiency displayed by each member, my guess is that you’ll be savouring every drop of it.
Every single drop.

Part 2
Part 3
Enjoy the awesomeness of it all!
Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd (Guitar tabs included)
May 16th
What a hook! What a tune! Yee Haw!
I’m sure this song brings back fond memories and nostalgia to those of the older generation. And I doubt the upcoming generations can resist it either. Why? Cause’ it’s SIMPLY TOO DARN CATCHY!
” “Sweet Home Alabama” is a song by Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd that first appeared in 1974 on their second album, Second Helping……
Despite (or perhaps because of) the debate, the song has become one of the most popular examples of Southern rock. It reached the top ten of the US charts in 1974 and was the band’s second hit single.” - Wikipedia
And here’s an instructional on how to play the intro. Have fun! SWEET HOME ALABAMAAAAAAA! (Im not even from USA by the way)
Here are the guitar tabs for Sweet Home Alabama.
Hotel California – Eagles (guitar tabs included)
Mar 17th
It never gets old even after 30 years!
Released as a single in early 1977, Hotel California remains one of the greatest songs of all time.
“The lyrics of the song describe the title establishment, a hotel where “you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave”. On the surface, the song is a tale of a weary traveler who becomes trapped in a nightmarish hotel that at first appeared tempting; as a metaphor the song may be commenting on drug addiction or simply the decadent lifestyle the hugely successful band had been caught up in. Another theory is that the song is about a mental hospital or a federal prison. The expression “check out” is also considered a metaphor for dying.” - wikipedia
Last but not least for the guitar enthusiasts, here are the guitar tabs for Hotel California.
Lust for Life – Marty Friedman (guitar tabs included)
Feb 21st
Here’s an interview with guitarist Marty Friedman, previously with Megadeth. He talks about stuff like living in Japan and achieving the human voice with the guitar.
I actually went for his guitar clinic for only $13!!! He was probably only about 10metres away it was bloody awesome. And I bought his CD after the clinic because I fell in love with the song Lust for Life that he performed during the clinic.
This is the same song that he performs at the end of this interview. Also, notice his awkward right hand technique which works for him and adds to his uniqueness.
Oh, and did I mention that this song is totally awesome?
Here are the guitar tabs. Enjoy!
