TFU 6.4 Video CD-ROM:
The Ten Things You Got To Do To Play Like Robin Trower
Remember the ’70s? the Pre-Disco ’70s, to be exact? If not, let me remind you that this was an incredibly fertile and creative period in music history. Blues rock, progressive rock, funk, and fusion were in their prime, corporate rock was just a gleam in the eye of its future shareholders, big, brash guitar (not fashion) was at the forefront of the music scene, and the Robin Trower Band was packing arenas and charting albums in the Top Ten. This month we have 20 licks, tips, & tricks in the style of Robin Trower.

Free Pick! Saucer Full: Pink Floyd, Part 1 & 2
The timeless band Pink Floyd is, without question, worthy of study. Here's your chance with a 25-part lesson. From their '60s pre-grunge "space rock," under the aegis of founder Syd Barrett, to the epic material of classics like Dark Side of the Moon, with David Gilmour on board, Floyd combined blues, psychedelia, gloom-rock and more into a distinctive sound in which the guitar played a pivotal role. Gilmour's thoughtful, spacious playing is a perfect antidote to shred-itis.. Part 1 and Part 2 are available now...
