New Tracks And Lessons:

Modest Mouse, Red Shoes, White Stripes & More!



Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News

Cover:   Ocean Breathes Salty

The second single from the platinum, Grammy-nominated album 'Good News For People Who Love Bad News', "Ocean Breathes Salty" is a cool mix of off kilter arrangement, strangely catchy melody and swirly, psychedelic guitar riff.



Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True

Cover:   Red Shoes (The Angels Want To Wear My)

From Elvis Costello's debut album 'My Aim Is True', "Red Shoes" still sounds as fresh and cynical as it did when this album was released in 1977. This record and others that followed quickly established Costello as one of the most innovative and literate songwriters since Bob Dylan.



The White Stripes - De Stijl

Cover:   Death Letter

From their second album 'De Stilj', the White Stripes breathe new life into this Son House blues classic. They performed this song live at the 2004 Grammy Awards. Please note the Open Ab tuning (low to high - Eb-Ab-Eb-Ab-C-Eb).
