Guitar Techniques: Bolan to Bodhisattva!
Learn great tracks at both ends of the spectrum!
In every issue of GT, the world's best guitar tuition mag, we have the broadest range of styles covered.
Take this month - issue 152, May 2008 - you'll find Bodhisattva by Steely Dan and Ride A White Swan by Marc Bolan's T. Rex.
Both are great songs, but while Denny Dias and Skunk Baxter's solos in the Steely track will take a bit of work nailing that 'blues-to-jazz' vibe, the Bolan number will provide quicker satisfaction. It's still a fine tune, with a great Clapton style solo.
With so much going on in GT, no guitar player should be without it!
