Trickster - Full Tab (PDF, GP5) + mp3

Hello!

Wow, didn't expect such a response with the last tab and with this new song as well! Also, loved everyone's covers of Moonlighting. Great job guys!

Little trivia - this song was first named "Goblin Dance", and I wanted to make it more folk. I always have lots of ideas for arrangements, but end up doing the opposite, lol. The riff here is based on the idea of playing chromatic notes between the chord tones, or something like that. Similar to "El Jarabe Tapatio" or "Flight o...

Trickster - early viewing

Hello!

We were working very hard with Mrokat to deliver this one on time! This was meant to be a Halloween + 1mln sub special. Also it's a sequel to Moonlighting. It introduces a new character - The Trickster. Inspired by Polish folk tales about chorts, imps and devils that offer people riches for their souls. Near Łódź, there is a town called Łęczyca with a famous devil named Boruta that according to legends was a nuisance. The most famous one is "Leganda o Panu Twardowskim" whic...

Moonlighting - Full Tab + mp3 (GP5, PDF)

Hello!

Here's the full tab for Moonlighting. The second part of this song (Chromatic Waltz) has some spicy chords. It was extremely hard to write a cohesive and emotional solo on them. The first part is easier then sounds. The hardest part is hitting the harmonics right and not adding any other string by accident. Have fun!

Moonlighting - early viewing

Hello!

I wanted to release this song since January, lol. I wrote it as usual - by accident and loved the melodic nature of the main riff. The second part is inspired by Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree, in particual the Midra boss fight. Once I heard this song I felt that I have to write something as crazy as this. As for the music video, first we wanted to make a video built around night and day. But as usual, you have to take one step at a time. Mrokat made the "Moon mask", and I fel...

Salamander - Full Tab + mp3 (PDF, GP5)

Hi there!

A few days ago a member here asked me for a tab of "Salamander", one of my most streamed songs on Spotify. I didn't know why I didn't ever tab it, but... here it is for everyone to enjoy!

Barbie Girl - Full Tab (GP5, PDF)

Hi there!

This one is cool to play, but not that easy in some places. The bouncy "funky" parts are tricky at times. I actually improvised the solo here without writing it. As I usually tell here, it depends on the song. Sometimes it's better to just play what you feel and not play a strict, mechanical solo. I usually like the improvised ones much more in the end (Iron Man being an exception).

Have fun!

Hello!

Yes, I'm a big fan of Eurodance music. You can laugh, you can cry, but know that I always have the best time when covering songs from this genre. The metal songs - fine, rock songs - fine, pop songs - fine, but Eurodance is always something that just gets my creative juices flowing. The sheer simplicity, the catchy melodies, the over-saturated colors, the raw 909 drumbeat that's just hitting you with enough punch. Also there is the most important thing... 90s nostalgia. Yeah, I'm...

Hi!

Haha, you probably were not expecting this one, right? Many people asked me for a Depeche Mode song, and after some time I thought - let's give it a try. To be perfectly honest with you, I'm not a Depeche Mode fan, but I enjoy their music. I must say that it fits Retro Poland like a glove and I didn't expect to have so much fun with this one. I found the idea of the music video (similar to the original) of me walking with a folding chair to be really cool, and easy to reproduce in t...

Here's the full tab of Paranoid. It's a bit tricky I must say. I wanted it to be challenging but rewarding in the end. The solo and the riff before it is very cool to play. Have fun! I will post some backing tracks in the next two days :)

Hello!

First I'm gonna say that I know I'm late with the Ozzy tribute, but I wanted it to be a bit more personal. You may ask, what's the deal with the fancy black car? There is a polish bogeyman tale from back in the day, that a Black Volga was driving near schools and kidnapping children. Similar to the Volga, Ozzy kidnapped me as a kid and never let go. I always loved Black Sabbath and his solo stuff. He always had an ear for iconic musicians and memorable vocal lines. Whatever he di...

Hi there!

Here's the tab for What Is Love. Thanks for the very positive reaction with this one. I really like what happened during this arranging process. I didn't do much to make it sound like that. Some things just write themselves, and you don't need to force them.

Cheers!

Hi there!

Sorry for the absence, but I had a rough time for the last two weeks. First there was a guitar workshop in Szklarska Poręba. It was awesome but a bit time consuming and tiring in the end. Then my mixing guy was on vacation so the only thing I could do is to think about and arrange stuff for the music videos. That's why we have an old polish bus in this video. It was not easy to get but thanks to a few people (Damian from 2025-07-31 15:28:32 +0000 UTC View Post

Sputnik - early viewing

Hi there!

This song was written even before the first Retro Poland cover. I had an idea for this music style and wrote a few songs in it. I wanted it to sound like "soviet cowboys from outer space". I think that this would also be a cool title, lol! But ultimately I chose "Sputnik" which translates to "fellow traveler". I like (and hate) the idea that everyone of us has a "fellow traveler" with him wherever he goes. I think that my Sputnik is simply called anxiety. Before I started work...

Hello!

This one is not that hard, and very fun to play. The slides 10-9-10 are tricky to play in rhythm with the rest of the melody. Also I tried to make to solo a bit "Knopfler-like" because it fits this cheerful chord progression. Have fun!

Hi!

This is one of the most requested covers. To this day I get messages every week asking for it. Many people have nostalgic memories with it, that’s because I’m also one of those people. I remember when I was on a holiday school trip, I was probably 12. In Poland we call it “Green School”. I don’t know why, but it was pretty popular back in the day. It was a type of vacation for people that couldn’t afford expensive trips. We were in a small beach town called “Jarosławi...

Hello!

Here's the tab to Raining Blood. It's one of the easier Retro Poland songs. The only tricky part is the little slap lick and the triplet sweep picking. The riff on the 78th bar is a good practice for alternate picking arpeggios. Try it out!

Hello everyone!

I've been working very hard for the last month to ensure some new cultural events for my fellow citizens. Well what's more to say? Time for Retro Poland vol.3! The weather is perfect for filming, got some cool ideas and locations. The schedule will be a bit less tense then last time, but the next three weeks there will be 2 songs and an original. This video is posted 2 days before the premiere just because I really wanted to show you this one! I had a total blast with Mr...

Polish Cow - Tab (PDF + GP5 + vid)

Hi!

This one is funny, because when I was recording my album with Popek, his manager called me that Cypis (the guy, who sings on the polish cow meme song) told him that "I don't know wtf is going on, but people keep sharing my song with a dancing cow on Tiktok". I found that very funny considering that it was a worldwide meme in a few weeks. Have a good one!

Stitches removed!

Hi there!
Hell yeah! Finally, I can eat and talk like a human being. My dentist told me that I took good care of my wound. As you can see, there is a little bit of a mess in my studio because I couldn't do anything other than record songa, and that's why I started recording the Martial Law game soundtrack. Tomorrow, I will post some IG tabs and updates. Cheers everyone ❤️

1st Anniversary of Retro Poland 🎂

„Your opinion means very little here” – These are the words that made me quit my last band after 8 years of playing. For many people in the music scene, it would probably be a dream job – whole calendar full of gigs, loyal fans, band that plays very tight. For me, it was just a job. Still, I’m very grateful for all the experience and getting to know the Polish music business a bit more.
I’ve been through hell for many years, and I've seen some wild stuff. Suffered through lots...

Hey guys!

My recovery is going fine, and it's getting better with every day. I can't practice the guitar too much because the antibiotics make me tired, but I can compose some songs for "Martial Law: Our Spring". I won't be able to make a lesson this week because I only speak in single words with a lisp, and also it hurts while I speak too much... But, next week I would like you to make a decision. Which song would you like me to show you in depth?

After the wisdom tooth removal

Hi guys!
Hope you have a fine day. Yesterday, I got surgery to remove my wisdom tooth. The dentists were fighting for almost an hour. They said that it was stuck because of a bent root. But all went fine. I need a few days to get back in shape, I can't speak that much (and I'm a very talkative person, so it bothers me 😅). I stated the day with an hour of guitar practice, but I felt a bit slow after the antibiotics. I was relearning "Sinking Chair" but got to the half point and gave up ...
