Here's An Uncle Tony's Quick Tutorial of how to play “Ships” by Ian Hunter, from his great 1979 album “You’re Never Alone with a Schizophrenic”. I try to keep these tutorials as brief as they can possibly be. Remember: you should strive to have almost no tension in your wrists and hands when you are playing, keeping the rhythm is more important than playing the "right" notes, and down / up picking is the key to the universe! Have fun! 😎🤘🍔🍟🎸
