This is a tribute to my guitar teacher who showed me the interesting side of music. This is also my first time playing country style. And also my first time using the slide to record.

So, there's a man whom i went to
With my guitar and its case
He showed me some chords, then he really started to play
He showed me all the cool licks, and the many different ways
to play the guitar he said.

Well, he said "Rhythm is important, you've gotta watch the clock"
"You've gotta keep the tempo, or you'll never ever rock"
"Even though, you're tired, you shouldnt ever stop"
"Cos That's the way to play", he said

"Well if you wanna be like Gilbert, if you wanna play like Malmy"
"I can teach you arpeggios, cos they sound really crazy"
"You can pick, tap and sweep, you can do those whammy things"
"You'll make your solos sound so sweet"

"But its the blues that's the soul of everything"
"You've got to keep the blues flowing through your veins"
"It takes just 1 bend to convey your feelings"
"With the blues you can play everything"

"With the blues you can play everything"

So here's the story of the man, who taught me how to rock
I'm grateful for his teachings so here i'm writing this song
"You've got to spread the music, you've got to share the knowledge"
"Cos That's the way to play", he said x3
