The guitar part to this song is actually quite easy to master although it sounds a lot more complex. The verse is based around a 2-note riff while the chorus brings in some nice inversions of standard chords. This lesson gives a great insight into using one string as a drone, in this case the A string while moving around to different notes on another string. It's a technique you'll find cropping up in lots of different songs and if you're a songwriter you find lots of creative ways to utilise it for your own material.

James from Starsailor takes you through the guitar part to their recent single. The part mixes between long strums over chords, or as James calls them "Prangs" and more picked out riff type rhythm. You'll also find some really nice alternative chord positions to the standard major/minor shapes in the chorus. A great lesson from the affable Starsailor front man.

Title
As with the other tutorials from Starsailor, bass maestro Stel, he once again delivers a corker of a lesson that will appeal not just to fans of the band but also to anyone who's mastered the basics of playing bass and is ready for something a little more challenging. In particular this song covers techniques that are very much typical of disco, with lots of moving octaves and walking bass lines. As with his other lessons, Stel gives you some exercises that will help you develop your skills. Lots of fast fret and finger action make this a great lesson for anyone with an interest in Disco bass.

Another Starsailor song that is great for beginners, especially those who are interested in learning lead guitar lines. In addition, there is a nice example of how strummed riffs can include an open string to add more depth to the part.

An exciting song to play with a funky bass part that is nicely independent of the guitar part. Good if you are an intermediate bassist who has got to grips with the basics and are looking for something to more funky to sink your teeth into.
