Re: Search query

Roger that, Neil.

Just for info, there's an extraneous posting of "All Day and All of the Night" under the two-part lesson by Max on "All Apologies".

It also has an extraneous posting of Max's 'Free Preview' link.

Just a bit of housekeeping needed, I think.

Search query

When looking for "Cavatina" I noticed that Stanley Myers doesn't appear as an option in the drop-down menu. When you manually search his name (in the main search bar, not the "Artist" search bar), it brings up Cavatina, just as if he DOES exist in the menu, (plus two pages of unrelated songs), so un...

Don't Know What I Was Thinking - Teddy Thompson

A simple strum and progression with some nice picked embellishments breaking up the pattern, makes for a great solo piece for a single guitar/voice.

Re: On The Beat - Episode 818 - Weekly Guitar Video News Wrap Up August 22, 2025

That move from E to Am7 put me in mind of a song which I couldn't quite place; with the help of ChatGPT suggesting possibilities based on the chord progression, a female vocal, ethereal chill vibe, I found out it was Zero 7 - In The Waiting Line, I'd heard the song many times but never knew who it w...

Lead Secrets - Triads "Volume 2 - Beyond Triads"??

Hi Neil, I love the Lead Secrets - Triads Lessons, and was wondering about the teased "next volume"; I assume it fell through the cracks over the years but I'd love to see it. You were talking about extensions, and the same sort of concept being played on lower string-sets. Just wondering and hoping...

Tips on Increasing Speed?

Are there any strategies you'd recommend for increasing speed of the right hand?

I hit a natural speed limit on banjo rolls and general fast picking and don't know the best way to break the speed limit.

Nick Lowe - The Beast in Me

More Nick Lowe magic, his iconic 'The Beast in Me' made famous as the outro on episode 1 of The Sopranos.

More cool bass runs with the thumb-wrap, and the right thumb working overtime brushing strums.

Nick Lowe - What's Shakin' On the Hill

Nick Lowe (whom God preserve), with his signature thumb-wrap and thumb strum style; I'd like to know how to play this without being able to wrap my thumb over the three bass strings(!) and retain the walking bass sound. Quite a workout for swift single-beat chord changes, I also love the full strum ...

All My Days - Alexi Murdoch



Alexi Murdoch channelling Nick Drake, a tune in dropped D with the 'melody' played mostly on the bass strings.

Don't Know What I Was Thinking - Teddy Thompson




Here's a nice example of focused strumming and riff-picking combined in a song for male voices.
