The Winery Dogs – Elevate intro tabs
Posted: July 24, 2013 in Lessons vault, SongsTags: Elevate, Elevate tabs, guitar, lessons vault, music, Rhythm guitar, Richie Kotzen, rock, Share a lick, the Winery Dogs, The Winery Dogs tabs
Ohh…have I got a treat for you tonight or what? I just finished figuring out Elevate’s main riff. Took me a while, but here it is. Tempo probably isn’t accurate and I didn’t know how to write the tapping part correctly in terms of rhythm. Sorry for that:( However the notes are 99% accurate. So if there’s anyone out there who can correct me – please do. I did my best. I wish you all the best. Cheers good people and keep on rockin’!!!
* Spent more time with the song and realised I tabbed the tapping section wrong. To my ear the section is now 100% correct in terms of notes and rhythm. Sorry you guys. Enjoy!

As we are on the topic of The Winery Dogs I give you a tab for the intro of the song ‘ I’m No Angel’. Enjoy learning the part as it is awesome and shows Kotzen’s skills and approach towards the instrument. Interestingly he plays all his parts in the band only with his fingers! And still gets the amazing tone:) Cheers!

Well folks, we should all cherish this new musical creation that is the Winery Dogs. A band that consists of one of my favourite guitar players – Richie Kotzen – on guitar and vocals, his friend from Mr. Big on the bass – Billy Sheehan, and a well known drummer from Dream Theater – Mike Portnoy. As Portnoy said “Richie Kotzen is such an unbelievable talent, as a vocalist, guitarist and songwriter. I think THE WINERY DOGS will finally get him the attention and recognition that he so richly deserves.” I must say that I also truly hope that this will be the case. Richie deserves recognition and respect for his magnificent work.
The band has already released an album that blows your mind! Additionally they have released three videos to go with that. Take time and listen to the songs. Trust me, you will not be able to stop listening to it! Buy the album and support the band because they deserve it! Ladies and gents, I give to you the Winery Dogs.

Here is a lesson for a bitchin’ song by a bitchin’ band! If all lessons were that entertaining…enjoy:)
Steel Panther – balls blown to the wall!

First off I just want to say…though I can not stress it enough…those four guys truly changed my life. The minute I heard Steel Panther I became fully assured about what I want to do – and that is rock like they do! Trends displayed over the last few years by the music industry resulted in suicidal thoughts that kept building up in the minds of people aware of what true music is. And when pretty much all hope was lost a band of real warriors and believers surfaced above the endless ocean of shit. I do not know about you, but I am a devoted 80s lover. Regardless of the fact that I was born in 1987 I feel more attached to those times (music-wise) than to anything that has happened in music since. After all, being born in the same year ‘Appetite for Destruction’ was released predestines you to rock appreciation. Anyway…I choose to believe that everyone has already heard about Steel Panther and that all of you treat them with nothing but respect they deserve. Still, in case you failed to come across the band no worries – I am here to help:)
Ladies and gents, I am giving you Steel Panther – the most bitchin’ band out there whose mission is to restore heavy metal and reclaim its place on the pedestal among any other music genres! I will not give up too much information. I will give you all a chance to go down this road on your own, all I am doing is giving you a push in the RIGHT direction. Take your time, explore Steel Panther song by song, note by note, word by word…trust me, you will not regret it. They are the shit and they are grwoing bigger each day. Long live Steel Panther!
