An ideal tutorial for intermediate guitarists who are ready to enter the world of heavy and energetic guitar rock! And who better to introduce you than the vivacious Andrew WK himself. This frat – anthem features some quick chord and riffing changes so there are some great techniques to pick up here. There’s also some great advice for aspiring song writers as Andrew explains how he writes his guitar parts as more of a accompaniment to his lead piano sections - almost as another level of a bass line. Doing this allows the guitar parts to compliment the vocal melodies perfectly whilst remaining pretty simple to play. Andrew demonstrates both guitar parts to this song, with the rhythm part alternating between power chords and regular open and barred chords, and the lead riff featuring an arpeggio picking part on the lower strings. This is an awesome song to play with a friend, filled with energy, distortion and most importantly head banging! The rhythm guitar part may take a little practice as there are some fast chord changes involved but once you've got that sorted, you will notice that your fret hand has improved in accuracy and speed.

Prepare to grapple with some high - octane American rock at it's best, courtesy of the man in white, Andrew WK! Another amazing tutorial for the beginners and intermediate players as Andrew demonstrates that playing serious rock guitar does not always take years of disciplined practice. He goes through a selection of simple techniques and writing tips that allow you to play some awesome riffs without a huge amount of technical ability under your belt. One of Andrew's secrets is to tune the strings to form an open power chord so that all you have to do is bar all strings with one finger on any fret to create a chords. This also allows you to play chord sequences at pace with ease and incorporate slides as Andrew shows. For all the guitarists craving some solo action, this song also includes a clever solo which is played entirely on one string, using the open note to bounce off - a really useful approach to quick playing if you're still getting to grips with multiple string parts.

This rowdy, party anthem is perfect to thrash out on guitar without having to worry about tedious fiddly parts! Andrew takes you through the very simple structure which comprises almost entirely of the verse - chorus loop which creates the powerful catchiness of the track. Again, simple power chords featuring Andrew's trademark fret slides are common here, a good template to experiment with your own chord slide compositions. This video features the hilarious Jackass cast, so shake off any squareness and have some fun!
