New EP - four new original songs - Click, Clack, Clickety Clack - Glitter On The Spokes - My Name Is K. P. Nash - Qarantine Rock
The basics of Travis picking, with all nuances. Become a pro rockabilly player in under 4 mins!
Mistery Train, the main Scotty Moore's riff. There's a secret trick that only a few folks get right! Plus customary slapback echo and reverb considerations.

When I was a school boy listening to those recordings from the past, Hal Harris taught me Travis picking. B. B. King taught me how to play bluesy be-bop licks. It was Cliff Gallup, who finally taught me to play rockabilly! I wonder if at some point my collection of Cliff Gallup's tabs becomes complete.

Disclaimer. Modern guitar playing is a complicated matter that can't be fully described by sheet music because
perception of guitar parts highly depends on details such as picking patterns, fingering, use of specific
features of particular guitar types (e. g. tremolo systems), sound/signal processing etc. which can not be represented
by music notation. On top of that, various imperfections and playing mistakes should be added.
Every guitar transcription by K. P. Nash aims to capture as much of such details as possible, going beyond
the standard sheet music approach. Essentially, every transcription is a
research aimed to recreate the way a song/guitar part was played down to tiny details in order to preserve it as a
part of cultural heritage and possibly use it for education. Such research requires many various kinds of
analysis, sometimes using advanced techniques and technology facilities, also a big amount of guesswork,
with guitar tablatures and instructional videos presenting the research's outcome. Therefore, the aforementioned Creative
