Chapters00:00 - Intro to Mick Ronson

02:12 - Lesson: Playing solo
Notes
Hello everybody....today's lesson takes us back to pre-virus times....Kingston Upon Hull, Ipswich, Suffolk, Surrey, Ditton on the Thames, Charing Cross Road....the glam rock era of the 70's, back when songs had actual chord changes....and furthermore.... This one goes out to my dear friends Eliot and Tobin.... technical notes: 1) if you wanna play along you gotta tune down a half step 2) the amp I've been using on all these videos is something you can purchase for 80 dollars...an old Roland Micro Cube (but you gotta get one of the "good" ones between serial number XZFFHZBY009988874532787996 and XZFHZBY9999900000007865554329986)
it amuses me to no end when people try to judge and compare "guitar tone" by listening to iPhone recordings
Stay well everybody...try to stay sane

Corona Lessons volume 3, Tom Bukovac, southern harmony & faux slide
Chapters00:00 - Hello everybody / Intro and cool licks
00:48 - Lesson: Faux slide licks and demostrations
Notes
Here's a few riffs you can play if you ever forget your slide at the gig.... thanks for the kind words on previous videos everyone....since playing guitar is basically the only thing I can actually do in this life, i figure this is my small contribution to getting us through the "cris-o-lation" of "the great netflix war of 2020"....
Yes, this situation we are currently in is more fucked up than Harvey Weinstein' genitalia, but i do believe we will get through it and there will be a Renaissance on the other side....also, as soon as this is shit is over, these videos will stop and I'm going to start charging full corporate rate for these lessons...
People have asked about what amp I'm using on these videos...you would die if I told ya.
