John Mayer-Waiting on the World to change song chords

I've been listening to John Mayer's third album "Continuum", it's taken a while to absorb, but I think it's a worthy successor to "Room for Squares" and "Any Given Thursday".

I've worked out my version of the chords & lyrics to "Waiting on the World to Change", you can check them out on my John Mayer page: PJs Guitar Chords and Lyrics - John Mayer song chords

Find out more about John Mayer on his website: http://www.johnmayer.com/ and on Wikipedia's Mayer page

Enjoy your music!

Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum

The Arctic Monkeys are one of the few bands to really make me sit up and take notice in the last year or so. Another song posted from their brilliant album "Whatever People say I am, that's what I'm not" album, this time it's the excellently quirky 'Mardy Bum'.

It's another of those songs that's fun to play - you just have to make up your mind to either adopt the accent to go with it, or have even more fun doing it in your own ( you wouldn't wanna hear my version with a heavy Irish twang..... )

I've just posted the chords & lyrics to my Arctic Monkeys guitar chords page, check out the link below.

Amazing Guitar Lessons - relaunch ends today!!

June 16th 2006 - Update

*** This promotion ends today, June 16th

If you want to take advantage of the really valuable bonus items available during the launch, and guarantee getting your copy of this great guitar lessons resource at the old price, you should click on this link: AmazingGuitarSecrets now, while the offer is still open (ends midnight tonight)

*** See below for details

Part of my mission with www.guitarsongs.info is to find other
really useful guitarist resources and pass them on to my website
and blog visitors.

Back in November, I published a post singing the praises of a great new resource - AmazingGuitarSecrets, and have had dozens of kind emails thanking me for the 'heads-up'. It is still the most complete and comprehensive guitar lessons course I have seen anywhere on the net.

So this is to let you know about an 'event' - the relaunch by Dan Denley of this great learning program with more functionality, more material and, for the duration of the launch ( June 9th to June 16th ) a really valuable and 'amazing' set of bonus items ( some of this are time-sensitive, 'earlybird' offers ). The old pricing structure is being maintained for the launch period too - with that kind of value for your buck, I would strongly advise checking it out at:

AmazingGuitarSecrets.Com while the special deal is still live.

( Note: there is a lot of copy on the promotion page, I think Dan is a fantastic guitar teacher, but is maybe over-enthusiastic as a promotor!. He has a lot of audio testimonials from happy subscribers - you might want to take these 'as read' and skip down to see what the course really can do for you - and which bonus items are still available. )

The link again is AmazingGuitarSecrets.Com
You really should check it out, but don't wait too long, event ends on June 9th.

Enjoy your music,

PJ

Pentatonic scales e-Book - Free!

I've found an amazing free e-Book that I'm sure you will want to know about, if you're a learning guitar player.

At first, I thought it was too good to be true, like most things are. But I have to admit, it really has exceeded my expectations big-time.

And here is the best part:

1) You can have it in your hands in about 60 seconds

2) It will not cost you a cent

3) There is no 'catch'

It's a 40-page, e-book on the pentatonic scales. And it is not just ANY book. It is actually one of the best e-books I have ever seen on the subject. I've featured a few short articles on Pentatonic scales in my newsletter in the past , but this is pretty much 'the Pentatonic scales bible'.

The reason I like it soooooo much is because it teaches you all three forms of the pentatonic scale: major, minor and blues.

And it teaches them in a way that most books do not. It shows you how to play each scale in all five positions. And knowing all the positions allows you to solo over the *entire* fretboard (instead being stuck in one position).

Another cool thing is that there are real-world, practical examples on how to use the scales to play a simple solo. And it includes several chord progressions that you can play over.

Anyway, the whole things is VERY well put together. And the best part is, it will cost you .... nothing!. And there is no "catch"

So, go grab your copy and let me know what you think!

Here is the link:

Enjoy your music!

Ring of Fire - Liverpool FA Cup song

I'm not especially a big Johnny Cash fan, but I am a longtime Liverpool supporter, and when they released their version of the song by the 'Bootrom Allstars' featuring Ian McCulloch as their 2006 FA Cup ( Winners!! ) anthem, the song came back to mind ( I was old enough - JUST - to remember the original! ). Anywaze, I've posted it to my 'Old Stuff' page

Beatles - I'm So Tired

Listening (again) to the Beatles' White album, I realized I've posted many Beatles songs to my Guitar Chords website, but very few from this epocryphal album. To begin the process of setting this right, I've posted "I'm so Tired to my "Beatles guitar songs" page, just click on the link below:

http://www.guitarsongs.info/Beatles.htm

Lots of Beatles songs sound better with piano - if you're interested in playing piano there is a great website which can teach you to play by ear, and recognize patterns which repeat in hundreds of songs, so you can be playing your favourite songs within a few days. The site is called Hear-And-Play, and you can see for yourself at the link below:

Because of You - Kelly Clarkson

I didn't watch American Pop Idol, so I never expected that I wouldn be posting any songs by any of the contestants, but the Kelly Clarkson song "Because of You" is a really strong song, and has a nice set of chords, which aren't too difficult if you use a capo.

I've posted the song to my "Pop Song chords" page, just click on the link below:

Jack Johnson - Traffic in the sky chords

Second Jack Johnson post this week - I make no apologies! I got into his music quite late, so I'm trying to listen to and work out as many of his songs as possible. "Traffic in the Sky" is now posted to my Jack Johnson page: http://www.guitarsongs.info/jack-johnson.htm

Still delighted with the improvement in my own playing and understanding of guitar techniques I'ld given up on, since I began using the brilliant lessons course at Amazing Guitar Secrets. Check it out at Amazing-Guitar-Secrets.Com

Santana / Steve Tyler - Just Feel Better

December 11th - added the great "Just Feel Better" by Santana ft. Steve Tyler ( from Aerosmith ) to my 'Rock Songs' page. Just click on the link: http://www.guitarsongs.info/rock.htm and click on 'J' to go to songs beginning J.

The song is in the key of Eb / D#, so I've transposed it down a semitone to D. Use a capo if you want to play along with the record. ( I have written an article on guitar chord transposition which you can read at: http://www.guitarsongs.info/transpos.htm )

Heartbeats - Joze Gonzalez ( Sony Bravia Ad )

The fantastic song on the Sony Bravia Ad ( the one with all the coloured balls ) is Joze Gonzalez' version of The Knife song "Heartbeats". Both versions are great, but I have to say I really love the Jose Gonzalez version. I've worked out the guitar chords and lyrics, which are pretty easy, and posted them to my Rock Songs tab page:

Amazing Guitarist resource!

Nov 17th.

Part of my mission with www.guitarsongs.info is to find other
really useful guitarist resources and pass them on to my website
and blog visitors.

A few weeks ago I stumbled across something sooooo amazing.
At first I thought it was 'too good to be true,' like most things
are. But, I have to admit it's lived up to my high expectations.
And there's really only one word to describe it...

---------------
*AMAZING!*
---------------

You see, I was sitting at my desk, poking around on the
internet the other day when I stumbled across this website
that claimed to expose the *insider secrets* of playing
guitar. (How many of those have we seen, lately?)

Anyway, I decided to see what this guy was up to. Turns
out that he's a real musician -- as in, got a music degree
to back up everything he teaches. In fact, he even
has his college transcript with all the classes he took
right on his site. In any case, the content speaks for itself.

He's got an entire course on guitar. And, well,
it's REALLY good. I got a copy and went through
the entire thing from start-to-finish. It's the Real Deal.
Here's a few of the things it includes:

--> How to play the major and minor CAGED chords
--> The major/minor Barre chords
--> All 7 positions of the Major scale
--> All 7 positions of the minor, harmonic minor and melodic minor scales
--> The modes, the major/minor pentatonic scales
--> The blues scale with famous blues licks
--> 20 finger strength and agility exercises
--> How to interpret chord symbols like (G7#5)
--> How to write your own music
--> Tremolo picking, double bends, tapping, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, etc.

WHEW! That was a mouthful.

This thing is CRAMMED with info. It's actually
4-hours of video instruction, 324 pages of downloadable
books, and 135 audio tracks. There's an option to get the
whole package sent as 'hard copy', DVD's, bound copies of
the books - this suited me better - I prefer learning 'offline',
and it frees up the PC for the rest of the family!

So, if you're serious about learning all the nitty-gritty
details about guitar theory, scales and chords, I
would HIGHLY recommend you go grab your copy of
this *amazing* course.

Here's the link:

http://www.amazingguitarsecrets.com/

There's a whole bunch of good free stuff including a free 6-part
mini-course at the top of the page which you should grab in
any case. The copy on the page is pretty lengthy, but there is
a lot to describe, and you should read it all the way thru. It's
pretty standard sales stuff, but if you are really serious about
playing guitar, and learning guitar theory, this really is the best course
I've found in all my years trawling the web for guitar learning materials
- particularly if you aspire to playing lead guitar. As an acoustic player
of too many years to mention, this is the spur I needed to get me back on
track to being the lead guitar player I know I can be.

Enjoy your music.
