If like me your blown away by the guitar playing of Andy McKee then you've probably been looking for some guitar tabs. After searching for a while on Google I found the following songs below so you can try some of his more popular tunes for yourself.

Following on from my last post about advanced acoustic guitar I couldn't resist including this highly original cover of Toto's Africa by Andy McKee.



And if you your not familiar with this track, check out the original version by Toto. These guys sure knew how to write a great song!

It seems that guitar playing got incredibly advanced during the eighties and early nineties (think Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai etc) however this next video proves that there's always somewhere else to go. To be honest I'm not entirely sure where I stand on the whole "technique" versus "feel" argument as this is impressive yet dull at the same time and it proves that you really have to be something special to meld the two into something that people will want to listen to time and again.

I quite like the melody about two minutes into this video and its more impressive that this is performed on an acoustic guitar (if you can call it that!) but I'll let you make up your own mind.



This fantastic piece by Andy McKee however is a perfect blend of advanced acoustic guitar method, rhythm and melody that I find far more moving and certainly inspiring.



Man! I better get practising!

The online guitar tutorials market seems to be getting very competitive these days and we have been kept busy recently writing reviews of some really great courses. This of course means better deals for those learning guitar and it really is a buyers market out there. One of the products we have reviewed recently is , “50 Easy Songs To Play On The Guitar” and it is a great example of how publishers are giving away more and more free guitar lessons. Of course by doing this they are hoping you'll buy the full course but it just goes to show that if you want to learn the guitar then the internet is the place to look even if your budget is a big fat zero.

Elmore music's range of online guitar instruction products represent an excellent choice for the beginner and intermediate guitarist but these days you really are spoilt for choice as there are several great courses available. Based on our research the best selling guitar courses online include;

• Learn and Master the Guitar by Steve Krenz
• Jamorama and Jamorama Acoustic by Ben Edwards
• Amazing Guitar Secrets by Dan Denley
• Elmore music

Now some are more expensive than others and its worth noting that Learn and Master the Guitar by Steve Krenz is an 8 DVD set rather than an online guitar course (which tends to justify the cost) but all are professionally presented and well taught. Best of all more and more are giving away free lessons which not only means you get a great deal but you get a chance to sample the quality and teaching style of each product before you buy.

Several of these publishers also have new courses in the pipeline and we are looking forward to reviewing them in the near future. In the meantime check out the sites for yourself and most importantly enjoy playing the guitar!
