ALPHARETTA, GA, October 10, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- iVideosongs (www.ivideosongs.com) introduces nine great new songs this week: acoustic and electric versions of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun, Incubus' Stellar, Foreigner's Juke Box Hero and Robert Palmer's Bad Case of Loving You. Also new this week are two KT Tunstall tunes, Suddenly I See and Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, plus Bread's Everything I Own and Lynryd Skynrd's Saturday Night Special. Each of the songs is instructed by a member of iVideosongs expert staff.
Black Hole Sun was recorded by Soundgarden on their 1994 album, Superunknown. iVideosongs shows how to play both of the electric guitar parts for this grunge hit, including the arpeggio-based rhythm sections and how to get the surreal soundscape feel of the lead solo. iVideosongs also presents an unplugged, acoustic version of Black Hole Sun that is perfect for the solo musician.
Stellar was recorded by Incubus on 2000's Make Yourself album. iVideosongs shows how to play the entire song, including the signature double-stop bends that make up the verse and the imaginative rhythm change going into the chorus.
Juke Box Hero is Foreigner's anthem about rock stardom from the 1981 album 4. iVideosongs shows how to play the song's entire repertoire of early 80s classic rock elements, and all of the rhythm parts, lead fills and solos.
The iconic music video will instantly come to mind for many, but Bad Case of Loving You is a great song to play too. iVideosongs shows how to play the barre chord-based rhythm parts, lead fills and all the other elements from Robert Palmer's classic.
New this week too are two KT Tunstall hits: Suddenly I See was recorded on 2005's Eye to the Telescope album. iVideosongs shows how to play all the parts of Suddenly I See, including the barre chords that are a good challenge for beginning-level players. Black Horse and the Cherry Tree was recorded by KT Tunstall on the 2004 album, Eye to the Telescope. iVideosongs shows how to play the acoustic groove, reminiscent of a vintage blues song, and the muted strumming that contributes to the song's energy.
Bread was a staple of early 70's rock radio, and their song, Everything I Own from the album Baby, I'm a Want You, one of the biggest hits of the era. iVideosongs shows how to play the finger style guitar parts, right hand arpeggiating and strumming detail for the 1972 classic.
Saturday Night Special was recorded by Lynyrd Skynyrd on their 1975 album, Nuthin' Fancy. iVideosongs shows how to play each of the multiple leads made famous by the band, the power chord rhythms, creative phrasing and also the song's signature 'slap-back echo' sound.
Each of the guitar titles include embedded tablature and chord grids.
