Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love," Valerie Bertinelli. Eddie is in a 12 step program, and he has to take it one step at a time, One Day At a Time. Just like Mackenzie Phillips. But to play this tune, tune 1/2 step lower! Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, and Eb.

Born to Be Wild," like my niece Whitney, who isn't all that wild, but she does like to sing this while mowing the grass on one of those ride on it mowers. Hardly a Harley--but there is that tatoo.

Brown Eyed Girl" is pretty easy to play, but there are some 2 note riffs, where you pick one note with a pick and another with your middle finger. It's pretty much G, C, and D7, but the chorus is played in third position, not open.

Fun, Fun, Fun ('til her Daddy Takes Her T-Bird Away)" is a text book example of Chuck Berry licks, played here by Carl Wilson, tuned a 1/2 step lower, for that cool sounding "rock" tuning.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot," Pat Benatar! Fire Away! This may not be the book's best shot, best choice, but if you ever want to evoke nostalgia for the 80's, then it is your best shot. Spandex and spikey hair cuts.

Message In a Bottle" will really stretch your fingers, and also your chord vocabulary. Andy Sumners was a very progressive chap.

Money For Nothing" is a pretty good deal. Chicks for free ain't bad, either. Especially when you're in Dire Straits like Mark Knopfler. We got your microwave ovens, your color TVs. Talk about your product placement, is that a cameo appearance by Sting singing I Want My MTV?

Proud Mary" by John Fogerty and his band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, is pretty amazing when you consider that they are from El Cerrito, California, and not some swamp in the Lousiana Bayou. Love the scene in The Big Lebowski when The Dude ponders the fate of his missing Creedence tape after recovering his stolen car.

Refugee" Tom Petty has come a long way since Mudcrutch. I never much cared for his band name, The Heartbreakers, but it was a vast improvement over Mudcrutch. As a side project, he was also a Travelin' Wilbury, along with Dylan, Roy Orbinson, George Harrison, and Jeff Lynne, who gave the band its name because if they made a mistake he'd say "We'll bury it in the mix.

R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A. (A Salute To 60's Rock)" realizes that bands like Kiss are spelling-challenged, so they spell it out for you. John Mellencamp was dubbed Johnny Cougar by his manager, kind of like on The Brady Bunch where Greg becomes Johnny Bravo. So Mellencamp went back to his real name, but since all that money had been spent on promotion, it was still inserted: "Cougar

Rock 'N Me" was yet another hit for Steve Miller, who as a young boy in Chicago was tutored by Les Paul and T-Bone Walker. It would seem the young guitar prodigy was destined for a life in music, but who could have predicted the plethora of hits?

Shattered" is how Ron Wood feels when he learned that he is still Wood, and not a Stone, even after all these years. You'd think he'd be petrafied by now. Still, he is lucky that even on probation, he's treated better than Mick and Keith treated Brain Jones.

Summer of '69" brings back a lot of memories for me of a similar summer--but I'm not talking about the year. Wanna have fun? Go to a Ryan Adams & The Cardinals concert and request this. That's how the fight with Jack White began. But that would be Reckless.

Sweet Home Alabama" comes on as background music in a Las Vegas casino, and my trailer trash girlfriend yells out "That's my Jam!

Tush" makes you wonder why they didn't name themselves ZZ Bottom instead. They rank right down there with Sir Mix a Lot and Spinal Tap.

Walk This Way" was an old gag in the cartoons where the butler would say it and then walk really funny and the person following him would mock their walk. This song was mocked in the rap version by Run DMC, but it was actually a tribute, and Aerosmith appeared in the video. It is an essential riff, though, and fun to play.

Wild Thing" is easy to play, but it rocks. There are just a few little tricks, revealed in the book, to make it sound special, like the pre-bend on the opening note. This book tells you what note to bend and how much. Hendrix pays tribute to the song, as does Tone Loc, but he only pays it lip service.

You Give Love a Bad Name," Bon Jovi. There is another album with this title by G.G. Alin that really gives love a bad name. Joe Nichols has a country song that mentions Bon Jovi called "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off
