Been a few people asking about this one. Sorry it took a minute to get it up!
I tried to use as much live footage as possible for this one, but in classic Iron Maiden fashion, they play it differently most every time, especially the solo. I tabbed out the most prominent guitar and tried to include everything else I he...
🎃 A great addition to the Halloween tab playlist!
Don’t let the music video fool you, these guitar solos are classic Vai and Satch at their best. Satriani really lays down some huge tasty bends in this one and Vai is... Vai - cool whammy bar stuff and his signature way of phrasing things.
Super tasty guitar licks in this one. Very fun song to play! I tried to use as many examples of live footage as possible, but I hear things a little differently in the studio versions (like the big A chords). It’s was tough to get great footage because the camera is almost always on Justin, who isn't playing in the verse. O...

I’ve gotten a lot of requests to redo this video. The original was done long before this page became popular - at the time, I was just using some quick videos to help my local students practice at home. This one really deserves the better production quality and accurate tab. Lots of notes on this one:

Jason and I have done 14 Metallica songs to date (count 'em!) I'm pretty proud of that, but we're not done yet! Which Metallica song should we do next?
(I've also posted this poll on the YouTube community page. However, I weight Patreon requests more so I wanted to see your opinion separately.)

It was great to see the positive comments on the video for "Lenny". Which Stevie Ray Vaughan song should I do next?

Hey guys, super excited to finally share this one with you.
SRV’s style is truly one-of-a-kind. It’s hard to replicate – just take your time to feel the groove. He probably plays a little more behind the beat than I do. Check out his original recording if you want to go deeper on getting a feel for it. Practise th...

Black Sabbath - The song that started it all. Huge guitar sound, forbidden intervals, crazy trills, this song had almost all the tools from the heavy metal handbook.
I found some great footage of Iommi playing this over the years. The cool part before the solo, in the early days he seems to be downpicking a lot of it b...

I don’t know what took us so long to do this one. Such an iconic riff. I was able to dig up some live performances of the song with Vivian Campbell playing it and fortunately he keeps it pretty close to the original recording. The part with the repeating pattern was a bit of a challenge because while it seems like a repeati...

It's been a while since we added new Hendrix! Here are some notes on this recording:
RING FINGER
Hendrix uses his index finger to let the note ring at the beginning of the song. I’m using my ring finger because I’m more comfortable that way.
INTRO FEEDBACK
I’m not using a foot pedal to fade ...

I really don’t hear any guitar in the intro and live, it’s definitely all keyboards from the videos I’ve seen but I decided to arrange it for guitar in case people want to play it live and don’t have a keyboard player in the band!
The very first 3 notes in that final lick. I know... the third note seems to be a ...

This solo had to be tabbed out. Nuno Bettencourt is a mad man!
There's a lot going on in this song, here are some notes on the tab:
I don’t think Nuno plays the riff in the chorus live. Instead he plays the rhythm chords which I have demonstrated only in the first chorus.
In addition to this lesson, we also show an unboxing of the Zager guitar, right from Jason’s driveway! The Zager guitar looks and plays awesome, and as you’ll see, it comes with a ton of extras: strings, tuner, capo, humidifier and a LOT of logos & signatures. Check it out

I had a really old video of this one, and I had to update it. Hope you enjoy!
The main riff some times I hear pulls offs from 3rd fret to open and some times I hear the notes picked. I choose to pick all the notes because it’s cleaner for me that way but if pulling off the notes and works for you, go for it! I fixe...
Another fun finger-stretching exercise from Megadeth.
Here's some notes from Jason:
Oh boy... I went into this one thinking it might be one of Marty Friedman’s tamer solos. I was completely wrong. The speed is one thing, but his accuracy is otherworldly.
There’s a video of Marty doing a cli...

Hey guys, just a quick note to say that there will be no video upload this week. Taking a small summer break this week and spending some time with my family.
Will be back next week!
Some upcoming lessons will include Megadeth - Skin O My Teeth, an updated AC/DC - Back in Black...
Another great job from Jason. Here's what he had to say about this one:
One of my favourite solos of all time.

To transcribe this one, I got some help from live videos but often David Gilmour does it differently, so my main source was some semi isolated tracks I found on YouTube.
As for the rhy...
Keep an eye out for the latest Guitar World on shelves right now!
Guitar World was my key resource for learning guitar during my teenage years, so being recognized in this magazine holds very special significance to me. I am incredibly proud and excited about this, especially as the Mr. Tabs channel has now reached 75...
Transcribing this song really makes me appreciate the chemistry happening between Izzy and Slash.
It’s so cool to hear them trading off the leads. I had no idea that was Izzy until I started transcribing!
Just a note on tempos - my interpretations of these songs are at a fixed tempo. To fully appreciate the huma...

Jason killed this one on the Donner DST-152!
Here are some notes from him on this video:
For this one there was ample live footage to get the fingerings right. As always, there are some judgement calls when it came to certain slides because he seems to play some things slightly on the studio recording than liv...
Growing up in the 90s, Soundgarden were one of my favourite bands, and I'm so glad to dive deeper into this one and find little nuances I had previously glossed over. There are some quick chord changes in the main riff that I hadn't picked up on before. 30 years later, I'm still discovering things in these songs!
In m...
Another 70s classic that a lot of people learned about from Guitar Hero 3!
Some notes from Jason on the tab:
For this one I tried to find some examples of the original band live footage as some of Heart’s more recent touring guitarist seem to do their own thing. For the older footage, they just go wild...

This early Metallica song has Mustaine and Burton written all over it. Awesome instrumental. Ride the Lightning is my favourite Metallica album overall. I love how Kirk doubled the leads on most of his songs back then.
For this one I used several different live performance videos to help figure out who plays what. Kirk...
This is a different one!
I can’t say that I know a whole lot about country music, but this was heavily requested on mrtabs.com, and it’s always great to step out of your comfort zone and try something new!
