Nate Beck of The Manchester Social Club teaches the correct way to play guitar intro to Frank Turner's Photosynthesis
(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, October 03, 2013 ) St. Paul, MN -- The English folk/punk singer-songwriter Frank Turner is just now breaking into the U.S. after a decade of fame in the U.K. A favorite among guitarists wanting to play Turner's music is his 2008 hit, "Photosynthesis." But most people who are teaching how to play the intro to the song are teaching it incorrectly.
Now Nate Beck of The Manchester Social Club teaches guitarists how to replicate the intro to Frank Turner's "Photosynthesis" the way Turner himself plays it.
MAC Music Accessories, manufacturers of the SpeedPro Guitar Tuner, contracted with Beck to produce a series of how-to videos for guitar players. The intro to Turner's Photosynthesis is the second video in the series.
"I'm a personal fan of Frank's and have been studying his playing style well before he became popular in the U.S.," said Beck. "I've seen many people tab out his music or teach it on YouTube, and they're teaching it wrong. Part of what makes Frank's music so enigmatic is the subtleties in his writing and to miss these subtleties is to miss what makes his music unique."
"Given the SpeedPro guitar tuner is genre-agnostic, we wanted the second video in the series to evidence that," said Stacey Marmolejo, MAC Music Accessories Company president. "So the first video in the series is American Country and Western legend, Johnny Cash and the second in the series in British punk-folk artist Frank Turner."
In the free guitar lesson video, available on YouTube on the MAC Music Accessories channel, Beck demonstrates and teaches the nuances of Turner's unique style. The intro is also the main hook throughout Photosynthesis so learning the intro is critical to learning to play the song correctly.
