I've really enjoyed learning guitar from you . I started as a total beginner and learned mostly from you. I recently heard the song SPEED a Billy Idol song and I really want to learn it. Can you do a tutorial on it?

Not any lessons out there and also some play in standard tuning, others in drop D or a whole step down as far as I know. What do you think? Standard makes it easier for the amateurs like me.

Thanks for the kind words - my pleasure!

I'd love to teach that song, but there is an extensive approval process that any potential song goes through with publishing companies in order to get clearance to teach it. Please head over to the Song Request Forum and leave your suggestion there. I'll keep my fingers crossed for this one!

Thanks for the request - cheers!

Mike

Thanks Mike, you are a great instructor! Learning SPEED by Billy Idol will go in the request forum as you suggest. So far , I found a way to just tune down the 6th string ( low E )down to D and leave the rest alone and fiddle with it.

Hey that's a great alternative to try instead of dropping the entire guitar down. Have fun messing around with it!!
