    A wonderful Great White song, by multiple requests. It's an amazing blues-rock number incorporating much that I've covered previously......plus I show you some finer points in the "how-to" portion. I give you "Rock Me". God bless, all.

    High time I acknowledge and give props to the incredible guitarist I'm playing along with here....Mr. Mark Kendall. You look at any and all blues rock lead guitarists over the decades and I'm tellin' ya, Mark is right up there near the top. He had such touch, feel, tone.....never over the top. That was rare for the '80's, believe me. Massive respect for Mr. Kendall.

      Too bad Mark acan't get it together again with Russel just like John Fogerty can't get together with CC revisited Dennis DeYoung can't get together w/ Styx so many great bands split for such stupid reasons egos and more...
      another one along the lines of Mark Kendall that deserves a lot of respect to even though they were lumped into hair metal is Tom keifer of Cinderella.. it's a lot more to Tommy too than a lot of people
      realize

      You're absolutely right. Mark's tone is just gorgeous. I enjoy watching him live! This entire band (original and new) are very talented. Mitch is the perfect frontman to take over. And I truly adore Michael Lardie - he's extremely talented and seems so humble and down to earth.

    Learning this one for an audition. This beats any of the tabs I found out there hands down. I feel like watching this accelerated my learning 10 fold. Now I can wrap this up and work on the other 10 songs I need to learn. And hopefully you made videos for them too! Cheers my friend!

    Fantastic job Stuart. Thank you so much. I played synths in the 80s and early 90s in a regional band and we covered this, but of course I wasn't really doing much on guitar back then. I played bass as well but not in that particular band. I was blessed to have a ton of great musicians and a fantastic singer, so that opened up a lot of songs for us to play. @Stuart Alexander, I agree, Mark was incredible. His phrasing in his solos was top notch and he had the touch to so many nuanced emotions out of the strings. You feel what he played.
