This will be the next tutorial - the tabs are already ready. But this song is really demanding since all is composed thru - even there are different versions. I have chosen this version here :
 

Hi, I joined last week after finding your lesson for Achy Breaky Heart on youtube. I really like your teaching style.  I'm a classic Rock and Country fan.  Currently trying to learn Tim McGraw's "Indian Outlaw" from 1994.  I can't find a lesson for it, just a couple of chord tabs neither of which are very accurate. The song also takes on a section from Paul Revere and the Raiders "Cherokee Nation".  It's a bit of a quirky song, but made the top 40 and started Tim's career.  
 

Here I show you the rock guitar riffs of Ted Nugent 's song " Cat Scratch Fever ". The song is also played by Motörhead - therefore listen to my instructions in the video.

This tutorial is a MUST HAVE for any rock guitar player !

I got so many mails and messages related to Dr. Pink and which model she is. ( yes is a " she " ) - thats the first point.
And the reason why Dr. Pink sounds so good even for an Epiphone is that Dr. Pink is a very rare model from the Epiphone Elitist series from 2005 - 2007 which is not the same model as the Jay Jay French models which came later. I got Dr. Pink at the time where I was an official Gibson instructor and was teaching my Touch Technique on the website of gibson.com. They offered me to choose a guitar of my choice and I liked the color of Dr. Pink a lot and I choosed that guitar. 2 Weeks later I got her, sent directly from Nashville to my studio in Egg Switzerland.
Here you can read more about the skills of this rare model :

Hey Lew, thanks for joining. I checked the song and I like it - even it is in fact a bit quirky. The problem is that the main parts in the this songs are other instruments - like the main pattern is a lapsteel guitar. But the main chords are easy to get. You can work something out with this :
E / B / A / E
