Although the original recording of Wires is a great song, all the other instruments mean it's not always easy to hear the subtlties of what is a beautifully written piano part. In this tutorial all those subtle intricacies are revealed in extraordinary detail as Tim takes you through every part of the song. He also shows you how you can start off with a simplified version of the part and then build it up until you arrive at the arrangement you hear on the recording. This makes it a lesson that is accessible both to beginners and more intermediate players alike. We've given it a 4 star rating, as the final part is quite complex but remember Tim starts off every section by showing you how you can play it with just the basic chords.

A great example of the right approach to rock drumming! In other words, it's important to play what's right for the song, which often means keeping it simple and not trying to crowd things with too many clever technical fills. A simple but extremely effective drum part that takes the simple concept of the Four To The Floor, Disco groove and gives it a unique twist with some very nifty work on the Hi Hats. Steve takes you through it all section by section and delivers a great tutorial.

This powerful song serves as a good bridge for a bassist who has got to grips with following the guitarist's chords, and wants to get into something a little more challenging yet still accessible. The bass part is built around what the guitarist plays, but with plenty of extra bits thrown in there to make it unique.

A good acoustic song to play along to, and a good way to learn not only some basic chords but also some interesting variations around the regular chords, both open and barred. This song is best for beginners who would like an introduction to some basic acoustic playing and use of a capo (this song uses a capo on the 4th fret).
