Guitar Album Reviews – U2 – Rattle and Hum
Albums that got me into playing guitar
Way back in 1989 I was a 13 and after years of piano lessons I decided to
teach myself guitar. After all the guitar is a much cooler instrument and more
portable than a piano.That same year U2 were a superstar band releasing Rattle and Hum, a double album with a mix of studio and live tracks.
Containing the hit tunes Desire, All I Want Is You, Angel of Harlem and
Love Comes to Town the album was everywhere on the radio, TV and the film
version of Rattle and Hum was also shown in movie theatres around the world.On Rattle and Hum U2 we’re looking to simplify their music while paying
tribute to American rock n roll, gospel, soul and blues. Read More -

Ghost by Slash Guitar Solo Transcription / Tab
One of my students recently asked me to learn the tune Ghost by Slash.
While it was fairly easy to find a decent transcription of the main riff and
chords it was hard to find a good accurate transcription of the guitar solo. So
I created my own transcription of the guitar solo from Ghost by Slash.Apart from just giving this transcription with my student I decided to share it online by creating a YouTube video for it too.
