A recent tune by Ed Sheeran with a lovely melody, and some very simple chords (I call them the ‘Wonderwall chords’!) (This is another one of the singalong videos I’ve been making for the Ballagh Choir of Ages, which features a short guitar lesson at the end of the song.) Song starts at 1m14s. Lesson…

I wrote earlier about the singalong videos I’ve been making for the Ballagh Choir of Ages throughout the lockdown period of 2020/2021.

One of the most popular songs to come from this island in recent years, Run by Snow Patrol is quite straightforward to play. This acoustic version uses slightly different chord shapes than the electric guitar part used in the song, but still keeps the overall sound and flavour of the tune. Try to sing along…

I wrote about this song and my journey towards learning to play it in this blog post. Here’s a video featuring just the guitar part, for anyone who’d like to have a go at it. Transcription available here. This isn’t a note-for-note playthrough. I’ve altered some of the lines, and some of the transcribed positions…

Tore Down House by Scott Henderson. Listen to the original here. I heard this song for the first time about four years ago. It popped up randomly on Spotify, and I loved it instantly.
