Steely Dan - Can't Buy A Thrill

Cover:   Reelin' In The Years This mega hit by Steely Dan from their debut album 'Can't Buy A Thrill', went all the way to #11 on the pop charts in 1973. The combination of this song and the hit "Do It Again" helped make this album a huge success right out of the gate - first going gold and then going platinum. Legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has said that Elliott Randall's guitar solo on "Reelin' In the Years" is his favorite solo of all time.

Lesson:   How To Play : And Your Bird Can Sing- by The Beatles - Part 3 Hello and welcome to part three of "And Your Bird Can Sing". In parts one and two, we studied how the Beatles played this song and tried to reproduce the guitar parts as accurately as possible. The Beatles used three or more guitars to perform the song in the recorded version on "Revolver". Two guitars play the lead guitar harmonies and the other guitar plays rhythm. But does that mean that you can't perform and enjoy the song if you are the only guitarist? Of course you can, with a little practice! In this lesson we will attempt to learn both guitar harmonies and perform them together as one part. This is gonna be fun!

James Brown -

Cover:   Get Up ( I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine) One of the biggest and best hits by James Brown, "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine)" aka "Sex Machine" hit number two on the R&B Charts and went top twenty on the Pop Charts in 1970. The song also features the recording debut of brothers William "Bootsy" Collins and Phelps "Catfish" Collins. Funk doesn't get much better than this.

The Beatles - Let It Be

Cover:   Across The Universe One of the highlights of the 'Let It Be' album, "Across The Universe" is one of the most delicate and cosmic ballads written and sung by John Lennon. Inspired by psychedelic culture and the Indian/religious studies the Beatles were immersing themselves in during late 1967/early 1968, the lyric is brimming with free association words and pictures and psychedelic-style wordplay. The 'Let It Be' version was produced by Phil Spector, who took the basic track the group had previously recorded, added some orchestration and choral vocals and remixed the original version.
