Hi there!
This was a fun lesson, mostly because it was such a tongue twister and I had lots of laughs, lol. The song itself is very cool to play and I encourage you to try it the Retro Poland way!

This a very precise lesson of Blue (Da Ba Dee), and I'm starting to get a feel for the camera and stuff. It's like 2 times better then the last video. There are all the techniques, all the chords, and all the fun facts about what's being played. Also It's a Patreon exclusive for Retro Poles and Ministers Of Propaganda. Tabs in the attachments :).

Right now I'm practicing for the livestream concert that I'm planning in a month from now. That's why now I'm revisiting the Retro Poland songs from last year and I will finally have some time to make proper lessons and tips for them (similar to the last video). I will start with Blue, because lots of you wanted to play it as far as I know. :)
The video will be spontaneous in nature. I will show you how to play the full song, and how to master the harder parts.

Here's the tab to Gangsta's Paradise. It's such a great jam, you have to try it for yourself!

As I've said last week, It's Gangsta's Paradise time (or Pastime Paradise, lol)! I will post the tab tomorrow! I really liked to jam on this one - such a chill song and a very distinctive harmony. Have fun listening!

First of all sorry for my English, but I wanted this video to be accessible. Second it's mostly non scripted, so these are some loose thoughts and ideas with a bit of playing. Btw, the backing track take near the end is actually very good, lol.

First I want to thank everyone here for supporting me all this time. You can see the fruits of your support here on this video. The good news is... It's just the beginning! There are no bad news... So enjoy!
The Record has been beaten once again! This time 8122 guitar players playing "Hey Joe" at the same time! Amazing stuff!
Also it was the first time Retro Poland was played live and... It was awesome! I practiced the entire month, because I knew that there w...

Here's the full version of "Hey Joe". Have fun playing this one. It's not that hard for most of the time and it's a nice swing playing lesson. :) Try it!

Hi there!
I was a bit quiet during this month, but it's just because I was preparing a little live presentation for the Wroclaw Guitar Festival that's happening next week. I will upload you a video of my practice routine soon because I don't have much more material at the moment. I've got a guitar medley prepared of "Blue", "Axel F" and "Hey Joe".
The most important thing to me is to play them correctly while standing up :D. Also I came up with an idea. I will practice more songs ...
2025-04-24 13:34:53 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys!
Here's the tab for Highway Star's organ solo by Jon Lord. You can treat the fast parts as a great excercise on a similar technique used by Mark Knopfler in Sultans Of Swing.
Hi!
I totally forgot about FF8! Had lots of stuff going on at the moment, but here's the tab and a little fun thing for you! Because I recorded two separate versions of this song (one on IG, and one on YT) just for fun, and here are both. There are only a few moments that are a bit different. It's 95% the same. Still, maybe someone will like to hear the difference. Have fun!
Hi there!
Here's the solo to Bat Country that kinda got voted on Instagram by accident, lol. It was very hard, but ultimately very rewarding to play :). The YT video is gonna be late because I don't have a thumbnail, but you can enjoy the performance with a tab already in place!
Cheers
Ps. I've got some good news soon :)

I made a Spotify exclusive version of Crazy Train, I will make the same with some other songs in the near future. That doesn't mean that I will omit the tab video for it! :) I stitched the two tab videos together, and it works fine. It's very fun to play and not that hard. Makes the song sound a bit more depressing, hehe.

I recently started playing some older PS1 titles from my youth. I always loved the Final Fantasy series because of the setting, story and masterful music by Nobuo Uematsu. While playing FF8 and got out of "Balamb Garden" I got very emotional because of this song. I don't know, it just flowed perfectly with the way I was feeling. The mix of melancholy, nostalgia and some kind of "quiet before the storm". The first thing I did was grabbed my guitar and started transcribing it. T...

TikTok made me do it! Still, I wanted to do something with this one. I'm a bit sad that the weather is still ugly, because it's such a great song for a music video! I didn't want anyone to get sick right now, because Mrokat also has a lot of work with tattoos. Still I loved coming up with Eminem's rhythmic guitar parts. After playing this song I truly understand why is he consider the GOAT. I'm very happy with this one. It's a cool funky solo part.
2025-03-24 16:05:51 +0000 UTC View PostHi!
Here's the tab for the "Beat It" solo. I encourage you to practice this one, but do it a bit more fancy. Try playing it with a metronome set to 69 (half the tempo) and treat the click, as 2 & 4 (the snare drum). It's not that easy, but you will develop a sense of a groove. The easiest way is to lock in with the slow metronome (click... click...) and count "one, two, three" in 8th notes in this tempo, and start playing. Once you get it, and start hearing the beat in your head, th...

Once I started doing the solo videos (Crazy Train, Cowboys etc.) I wanted to try this solo... I didn't know that it's gonna be this difficult to change. I started working on this one 3 weeks ago. Got frustrated and gave up after a week. Made some other stuff like the short videos, the Floods loop. After another week I played it once again. I don't know how it happened but something clicked and this solo finally started to make sense. I changed the timing of some parts and made a "no...

Finally had some more time to finish the tabs for the earlier season of IG tabs :). Here's the full archive!
2025-03-16 16:04:10 +0000 UTC View PostHi there!
I've been asked a lot to cover this outro (the whole song as well) but because of time constraints and Mrokat's cold I couldn't make the whole song. I had to take care of the shopping, medicine and house stuff, that's why I chose a song that's catchy and unique sounding (and on the easier side). So, here's the outro of Floods!
Btw, it's played on a baritone guitar, so the tuning here is BEADF#B. You can play it on a normal electric guitar and it will still sound ok :).<...
2025-03-12 16:08:13 +0000 UTC View PostHi! Here's the tab! It's very fun to play with the "twin guitar solo" on one guitar. It's very fun to practice :). Try it!
2025-03-07 16:40:27 +0000 UTC View PostHi there!
This one was a very spontaneous decision. Mostly because I was trying to cover the solo of "Beat It" and I just couldn't get it to work. That's why I stopped and said... Wait a minute, why not just cover the interlude of "Master Of Puppets" with the twin solo on one guitar! Also there is a little 12-string guitar part, that sounds very cool.
I will post the tabs tomorrow, because my cat woke me up at 4 am today and I'm still not awake...
Cheers!

I had a rough day yesterday, the weather gives me migraines and sometimes I just have to rest, that's why I didn't have the energy to tab out this song. Here's the tab. It goes pretty similar to the original one, but with a few Retro Poland tweaks.
Btw, I didn't want to play it at first because it sounds a bit too close to my own stuff, but as I started playing it, it was so fun, that I had to do it!
Cheers
There is no more I can say besides what I've said below the original video :). It's just very hard. Also It's a great exercise on sweep picking! Try it yourself.
2025-02-25 15:48:24 +0000 UTC View PostHi there!
I wanted to do this one for a very long time. Some of you may know it as the "Charlie The Unicorn - Candy Mountain Song", others as the annoying radio jingle from "Lato Z Radiem". It's a fun little song, that's actually very hard to play on guitar.
First it's in F-major/A#-major most of the time which are totally awful keys to play on guitar. Then the main melody is a hard sweep picking lick which is also not intuitive. Another thing is that this is a very hard tempo to...

I'm finally ready to record some of my own songs! Last year it was all about the covers, this year it's gonna be 50/50 :).
This is a very special song for me, mainly because it has around 13 years. I wrote it around my first or second album which is 2012 or 2013. At first, I played with a "makeshift tapping" technique which was very inefficient and never sounded good. After some time I came back to this song and realized that I don't need to play it this weird way, I can ...

Sorry guys, I forgot to post the "early viewing" yesterday. That's because I was recording Cowboys From Hell solo that's gonna be posted this friday. It was very hard and I practiced it for almost a week. That's why I forgot about yesterdays video. Here's the tab, and the full video is on YouTube. Sorry!
2025-02-11 16:01:12 +0000 UTC View PostHi!
After the success of "Crazy Train" I thought of playing and revisiting some older solos (or newer as well). I gave this one little more power :). Hope you like it!
