Hello all!

This week I'm taking a look at Serge Gainsbourg's 1971 masterpiece Histoire de Melody Nelson, with a specific focus on the amazing guitar parts played by British session ace Alan Parker. There's a bit of information on the background and history of the album, and then I take you on a tour of some of my favourite guitar (and bass) moments.

All the riffs I discuss in the video are tabbed out below (there's a separate tab accounting the Melody bass part).

Hope you enjoy the video. And if you'd like to see my give this kind of treatment to another class album, do let me know!
