Santana – Black Magic Woman

Another classic song.The keyboard intro gets you in the atmosphere of the song and then the guitar takes the lead,with a nice intro riff,followed by two solos.Then we have the twist,where the rhythm is much faster and the whole mood changes.The first time I heard it,I was really surprised!Enjoy!

Lynyrd Skynyrd – Sweet Home Alabama

Most of you know this classic,killer-song!One of the most famous blues song,”Sweet Home Alabama”,by Lynyrd Skynyrd features a very “sweet” melody,with a bluesy rhythm and a nice and fast guitar solo,accompanied by the piano!

Pearl Jam – Betterman

The Pearl Jam are an awesome band.They played and produced(now they do tours) mainly rock music.Their album “Ten” featured great songs of the grunge genre.Eddie Vedder’s vocals are very good and the lead guitarist,Mike McCready,keeps you excited(sometimes he gets crazy on stage!).

Betterman,is nice,smooth,a bit quiet at first and then suddenly the volume raises and the main melody “shows up”.I truly love the intro and the outro of the song for some reason!

Something that I find weird is that in some songs(like Betterman),they are three guitarists(Eddie Vedder plays too)!

This is a live version of Betterman,at the Pink-Pop Festival in Holland,2000.

Eric Clapton – Cocaine

If you know Eric Clapton,you know Cocaine!The basic melody formed by just 2 chords(an E5 and a D5) on the guitar (Eric Clapton’s Fender Stratocaster!),with a slightly distorted sound,combined with the rhythm and the little solos in between and the big one at the end,create a perfect blues song!

Enjoy!
