Guitar Techniques August 2011 (#194) contents:

• 20 Slide licks You Have To Know! Who doesn’t want to play this most evocative of blues guitar styles? We know we do! Let Jon Bishop turn you into a bottleneck beast!
• The Beatles – Yesterday. It’s the most covered song of all time! Stuart Ryan not only tabs Macca’s original part but gives you a brilliant solo version to learn too.
• Toto – Hold The Line. Steve Allsworth tabs this brilliant slice of raunchy US rock with a cracking Steve Lukather solo. We even tab the piano intro!
• Beethoven – Fur Elise. Another great Bridget transcription of a classic piece of music. This Ludwig van Beethoven tune is ideal for transposing to guitar, too.
