Title
Peter of the Dandy Warhols tells you all you need to know about their foot-stomping acoustic hit "All The Money Or The Simple Life Honey". Taking you through basics such as capo use as well as explaining the chord changes and strumming patterns thoroughly. Peter is a surprisingly good teacher, dissecting his guitar parts to allow even beginners to get to grips with their songs. In terms of difficulty, the verse part of this song consists of simple, beginner-friendly open chords. However, the chorus features some more difficult techniques which are not included on the recording, but are played live. These techniques are a little more suited to experienced guitarists but with practice they shouldn't be too hard for beginners.

Title
Peter teaches you the Dandy Warhols' party anthem "Every Day Should Be A Holiday", taking you through both the chord part and the song's signature lead hook. The chord part is nice and easy for beginners to learn, consisting purely of barred chords with Peter teaching the techniques behind them thoroughly. The lead hook is a suitably enjoyable challenge for beginners and is very satisfying once you've mastered it. This song is great fun to play along to whether you're on your own, in a duo playing the lead and rhythm parts, or in a full band playing together. From a songwriting point of view it’s a master class in the ‘less is more’ approach, showing that a simple, catchy melody can often be more powerful and effective than overly complicated soloing. With two guitar parts to learn this is also a great one to play with a friend.

This Dandy Warhols classic uses some of the basic bar chords with quite a bit of movement around the neck. Great for anyone who’s been playing a while and wants to get into bar chords for the first time. An accesable and easy song to learn that sounds as good on a single acoustic as it does played electrically with a full band.
