Tasteful? Well that's debatable but amusing never the less :)

Martin Miller just 'gets' what jam tracks are all about and with his brand new 'Rock Roots Vol.1' package he nails it once again.

Song and guitar tab available only from http://jongomm.com/store You can Pay What You Want for the song, and a percentage of what you pay goes to STEPS, a charity that supports people with clubfoot, hip dysplasia and other lower limb conditions, in honour of my beautiful niece Freya. http://www.steps-charity.org.uk / This is my cover of the Chaka Khan dancefloor classic from 1982. When I was a kid, I played gigs in pubs in Blackpool, and often my audience was mostly elderly ladies spending their pension money on bacardi! Quite often they'd tolerate my original songs and blues covers for only so long, and eventually a representative would be sent over to remonstrate with me. "Excuse me young man, please can you play something we can dance to?" So this is my emergency disco song.

Great to see Jon Gomm getting the attention he deserves. As with many people, the first time I heard Passionflower my reaction also was 'wow'. An interesting little bit of insight into his thoughts and views aswell. You can check out more of Jon's work at http://www.jongomm.com

Matt Rach is back up to his old bedroom guitar tricks again uploading an awesome instrumental shred guitar cover of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. Matt landed a lot of negative comments moving to a live band set up, no doubt his old time fans will be happy to see him back ripping it up in the solo environment. For those keen on making there own cover Matt has supplied a backing track HERE but unfortunately you'll have to work out the tabs for yourself. Apart from the crazy shred bits it shouldn't give you to many problems though. Learn guitar with the #1 step by step guitar system

If there is one guitar trick that always grabs my attention is the use of looping. Check out the cool looper improv at 2:15secs . Phil start with percussion, adds bass (by detuning on the fly) and then jams over the lot with tasty acoustic blues licks. Very reminiscent of Dave Mathews right hand man Tim Reynolds.
