The Blues Guitar

  This is my version of the blues tune Available Space by Ry Cooder. It is an instrumental piece and I have just tabbed out and played the main section which forms the first two playthroughs of the music. Later in the song the music goes on more rambling solo's but there are multiple instruments playing the lead melody line together. Therefore, I have just tabbed out the main section which can be repeated with variations as you see fit. This is a fingerstyle piece and requires the use of a slide throughout. It is played on a guitar in Open G tuning, is in 4/4 time . Below are some tips to help you play this piece, and links to download the tab.

  And now for some thing completely different. This is my fingerstyle guitar version of the song Love Changes Everthing. The song featured in the West End and Broadway musical Aspects of Love by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It is quite a catchy, yet beautiful and powerful love song with touching and emotive lyrics. The music was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and the lyrics by Don Black and Charles Hart. It was originally sung by Michael Ball in the musical, and although it has been covered many times by different artists, his version is still agruably the best, due in no small part to his breathtaking singing voice.  The song is a slight departure from what I usually do as it is isn't really a piece of blues music and this isn't a blues transcription of it. However, I got the song stuck in my head and decided to do a quick fingerstyle version of it, so I thought I would share it. I will still be doing blues music on my channel, but will occasionally do something differe...
