Guitar Techniques May 2016 (#256) contents:

• Acoustic Blues. For solo guitar. Jon Bishop has contrived four fantastic acoustic blues pieces for you to learn. From simple to challenging, there's something for everyone - so grab that old flat-top and get picking!
• BB Kings & Eric Clapton. Three O'Clock Blues. King's first hit was superbly re-imagined by BB and his friend Eric on their 2000 album, Riding With The King. Transcribed by Richard Barrett.
• Gustav Holst - I Vow To Thee, My Country. A Proms favourite, this stirring tune will lift the spirits but not overly tax the fingers. Arranged and tabbed by Bridget Mermikides.
• Blues. Les Davidson explores the incredible style of the legendary guitarist Roy Buchanan.
• Rock. When Richie Kotzen and Billy Sheehan join forces, Martin Cooper reckons the results are incendiary. He checks out The Winery Dogs.

• In The Woodshed. Charlie Griffiths aims to perfect your practise! This month, vibrato with all four fingers.
