Today's new video is a rock n roll/rockabilly classic: Lonesome Train (On a Lonesome Track) by Johnny Burnette & The Rock n Roll trio. I particularly love the solo to this one, played by Nashville session ace Grady Martin. Great touch and rhythm, and loads of nice rock n roll licks to steal. If you don't already know it, the whole rock n roll trio album is well worth checking out. Jimmy Page was a fan - Led Zep used to do a great version of their Train kept a rollin'.
Underneath is the backing track I play over at the start of the video. I've looped it to make it a bit longer. Use it to practice the solo, the entire song, or just have fun jamming along using G minor or major pentatonic, or the G blues scale. There's a PDF of the tab, which includes the verse 1 & 2 parts which aren't on my site. And finally the Guitar Pro file for the tab. Guitar Pro can be a great practice tool, particularly for working on rhythms - switch the metronome on and play along at whatever tempo you're comfortable with, or loop individual phrases to practice them over and over. Have fun, speak next week!
