Here you can learn the chords, the melody and some improvisation tricks of the song on Broadway by George Benson. George Benson used to be a great jazz guitarists and performer and one of his signature songs was On Broadway. It is basically a blues which works with a simple riff and that one I am showing you in the tutorial.

Therefore I took the simple part of it and did not go too much with the little variations he did in his singing.

Slow Blues ( The Jack Style ) Here you can learn a Slow Blues in the style of “ The Jack “ by ACDC. This is a blues with 60 BPM and in the key of E. First I going to show you the chords and the chord riff which is played and which make the signature sound of this Blues and then I going to show you a simple improvisation with the Question - Answer - Resolution “ concept. The concept works like this : You first play a motive which represents the question then play It again. After that you play the answer then play the question again and at the end comes the resolution. This is the improvisation concept which is used conscious or unconscious in most of the Blues compositions and blues improvisations. I show you the musical motifs in detail and with the proper timing. That way you understand how you can variate them in a easy way by just making variations on the timing signature. If you want to play the Jack by ACDC exactly the way as it played just listen to the original song and adapt the chords and the chord riff you learned here to the chords which are used there. But they are more or less the same and the riff is a very common blues riff which got famous by the song of AC DC. The chords which are used here are : E7 / E7 / E7 / E7 / A7 / A7 / E7 / E7 / B / A7 / E7 / B Slow Blues E ( The Jack Style ) .pdf Slow Blues E ( The Jack Style ) .gp slow blues ( The Jack Style ).mp3

Here you can learn the rock and roll guitar which can be played in the song Long Tall Sally by Little Richard. Even there is no guitar in the original song of course there can be a guitar played to this song. And what I'm showing here can be used for any other kind of rock and roll guitar situation. Since I have been playing in a professional rock and roll band for a long time I have the experience how rock and roll guitar on stage works and what the tricks are behind and I am showing this to you in this tutorial. The main thing in the rhythm guitar is that you have a steady relaxed right hand and you have the accent on count two and four. To be able to keep this going on a whole show like for one hour you have to be very relaxed. So pay close attention to the instructions I am giving you here. When it comes to lead guitar a rock and roll band situation is not as easy to handle as you might think. One of the main problems is that you need to keep the pressure and the Beat of the Music going on and don't lose it when you switch to lead guitar. With the instructions I'm giving you here you are ready to proceed this and to sound really cool in a rock and roll guitar situation. Long Tall Sally.pdf Long Tall Sally.gp long tall sally.mp3
