Beat It (Acoustic) - Michael Jackson Guitar Lesson

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 17:00:03 -0700

Tabs and other resources available, support me on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/mtguitar

In today's acoustic guitar lesson, we learn how to play "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. This hit features the brilliant guitar playing of Steve Lukather and also a blistering guitar solo from Eddie Van Halen. The intro and hook is a must know rock guitar riff, while the rhythm parts over the chord progression are examples of tightly arranged studio parts, crafted by Lukather and Quincy Jones. I also show how to play the riff up the neck as well to make the song a more acoustic friendly arrangement.

The Weight Guitar Lesson - The Band

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 17:35:05 -0700

Tabs and other resources available, support me on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/mtguitar

In today's guitar lesson, we learn how to play "The Weight" by The Band. This song is easy to learn quickly as it only contains a few chords, yet the intro provides a great opportunity to play triads up the neck before jumping into an infectious southern rock and gospel groove, fueled by Levon Helm's drumming.

Money For Nothing (Acoustic) - Dire Straits Guitar Lesson

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 17:00:07 -0700

Tabs and other resources available, support me on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/mtguitar

In today's acoustic guitar lesson, we learn how to play "Money For Nothing" by Dire Straits. The intro and hook is one of the funnest riffs to play, but is tricky due to the muting and fingerstyle techniques Mark Knopfler uses throughout. For this acoustic arrangement, I use an open-G tuning to give some added bass and open string accompanying notes.

The Best Rolling Stones Riff for Acoustic Guitar (Easy)

Tabs and other resources available, support me on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/mtguitar

In today's acoustic guitar lesson, we learn the best riff by the Rolling Stones for acoustic guitar. In arranging "Satisfaction" for acoustic guitar, we combine the iconic yet simple riff, three notes back and forth on a single string, over the basic blues-rock chord progression to create a full sound. Simple blues-rock songs like this are perfect templates to combine our favorite riffs over bass notes and chords to play the entire song with just one guitar.

Tabs and other resources available, support me on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/mtguitar

In today's acoustic guitar lesson, we learn how to play "Ticket To Ride" by the Beatles. This song features an iconic riff by George Harrison that mirrored John Lennon's drone-like chord progression over A and Asus2. This song was a turning point in the Beatles songwriting as they turned their attention to the influence of Indian sitar music during the mid 60's. Just like any Beatles song, learning this tune is getting a masterclass in melody, harmony, and guitar part writing all in one.

In today's guitar lesson, we learn how to play "If Not For You" by George Harrison (and written by Bob Dylan). Harrison masterfully wrote some dobro slide parts with this Dylan classic that are both melodic and memorable. My arrangement goes up the neck to try and capture these lead slide parts all on an acoustic guitar while still keeping the rhythm going.
