Raw-Hide by Link Wray (Patreon)

Hello all,

Hope everyone's doing OK. I'm currently locked down in North London. But it's not as if I get out that much normally anyway. So I'm still just going into my studio, playing guitar and making videos. The main challenge is to stay focussed despite the constant interruptions from my 5 year old daughter, currently off school indefinitely...

This week I found myself in the mood for some raw and noisy rock n roll, so I decided to make a video on Link Wray's awesome track Raw-Hide. If you don't know it, take a look at these great performances from the man himself:

Here's the lesson:

The tab is attached below. I've transcribed what I'm hearing on the recording note for note but I wouldn't worry about sticking too rigidly to that when you play the track. The backing is coming up in the next post.

Oh, and in case you didn't see it, I put out a quick follow up to last week's London Calling video, giving you one more possibility when it comes to the intro part. And I've updated last week's tab to include this option. Take a look here:

I also fixed a problem with the LC backing track. As someone here pointed out the arrangement was a bit wonky, so I've re-uploaded a corrected version.

Take care everyone, and speak next week,

Adrian
