You asked for it, so we've brought song tabs back to Total Guitar! Every issue, you'll find a full tab of a rock anthem in our Classic Track feature, plus tab, chords and lyrics for a complete tune in our Open Mic Songbook lesson, starting this issue with Iron Maiden's 'Two Minutes To Midnight' and George Ezra's huge hit single, 'Budapest'. As well as this, your TG CD comes with studio-quality backing tracks of the song for you to play over (streamable in our digital edition).

Inside this month's mag:

I'm a freelance member of the MusicRadar team, specialising in drum news, interviews and reviews. I formerly edited Rhythm and Total Guitar here in the UK and have been playing drums for more than 25 years (my arms are very tired). When I'm not working on the site, I can be found on my electronic kit at home, or gigging and depping in function bands and the odd original project.
