This particular song here, "No Drink No More", is a funny story about someone who has drank all his life and missed many things so finnaly has decided to stop drinking. The song hails from the album of the same name.



I start this off with a walking pattern on the top string up to the A chord. You'll notice this song is played in a different key from the original so it's not so low to sing. The chords in this one are D, A7, D7 and G7.

There is no lead guitar in this but I do throw in a series of hammer-ons and pull off's which are fully covered in my full instructional tutorial below.
