Sonne - early viewing

Hi there!

I see that you liked my little Sonne cover on IG and Tiktok. So.. here's the full version. I wanted it to be as raw and slow as possible. Still, the chorus evokes emotions, that I wanted to show near the end. I always loved this song, and was waiting for the right time to cover it fully. Hope you'll like it! Tab and mp3 tomorrow! :)

Crazy Train solo - early viewing

So as you can see, the schedule is a bit tight this year. The song itself didn't sound that cool, but I thought that giving this solo a little bit of the Retro Poland sparkle will do the trick! Here's how it sounds!

Where Is My Mind? - early viewing

Hello!

This is my first cover this year and there are a few changes. First it's winter and I must do a workaround with the music videos. That's why I will make more covers, but shorter with simple videos. Second, if you feel that it sounds a bit different then you are right! It's because I will be mixing the next songs. It would cost me a fortune to send every cover to Marek who's done most of the mixing when I will be doing much more of them (shorter and longer). Also he has his own mi...

Hello everyone!

This image here is a testament of your support! I will post it tomorrow on IG, but your turn is always first.

Yes, I recorded every single video on the VHS-C camera. Yes, everything was shot on a 30 minute cassette. Yes, it's hard to buy a cassette nowadays, let alone 29 (there are more, and will be more). Still I had this vision of a project with a unique, retro feel and it came to fruition. If you ever thought "Well... This Maro guy is a bit of a hack" then remem...

Feel Good Inc - Full Lesson

Hello dear citizens!

Woah, this was a hard one. I forgot how much editing goes to making a guitar lesson such as this, lol. Still, I did it faster then expected. It will be tomorrow on YT, but in a shorter version. Now I must rest, lol. I'm taking a break till the end of January, because I want to collect my thoughts on the next videos and stuff. Also in the meantime I will be recording some new songs for my upcoming album. I already got 4 finished, so it's going nicely! Also Season 2 o...

First Post in 2025

Hi guys!

Happy New Year!

2024 was a wild ride. It was so wild that I'm taking antibiotics for the last 2 weeks, lol. Just like in the Q&A I thank you very much for the support, and I hope that this year, we will still see each other here. I wrote a little thing on Instagram about my plans for 2025, but I want to get a bit more specific here.

So, right now I'm recording new songs for my Retro Poland styled solo album. It's going great, I already got 3 songs, now I'm rec...

RETRO POLAND VOL. 2 - Full Album

Hello dear citizens!

I proudly present the second Retro Poland album! It's my Christmas gift for all of you! Just as with the first one, here are the mp3s, YT thumbnails and the album cover. I would like to thank everyone here from the bottom of my heart. There is no way I would have done it without your support. As I've said before, next year the schedule of posting is going to be a bit different throughout winter, because I want to make some lessons for you and not get sick after ever...

Last Christmas - Full Tab - PDF + GP5

Hi there! This is the last tab of Retro Poland Vol.2 and it's of course "Last Christmas".

Hi there!

This is the last tab of Retro Poland Vol.2 and it's of course "Last Christmas". I was trying to keep it simple, because I hate when somebody shreds on Christmas songs, it just takes you out of the experience. I tried to make the solo melodic and funky, rather then a "wankfest". I think it landed in the right spot. It's very fun to play and it's a good introduction for someone who wa...

Ostatnia Gwiazdka / Last Christmas : early viewing

Hi there!

First I want to say that thank you very much for your support! I wouldn't do any of it, if not for you guys! This is the last single from Retro Poland Vol.2! "Last Christmas", which was a spontaneous idea and a great one for the upcoming occasion. I must confess - I hated this song before making this video, but after covering the chorus I fell in love with it. It fits the Retro Poland aesthetic like a glove and that's what matters! It has this longing vibe, that just not every...

Bulwar Złamanych Snów / Boulevard Of Broken Dreams : early viewing

Hello!

Ha! You probably didn't expect this one! Once I did the short version I knew that someday I will have to deliver the full version. It was a perfect time for this video, because I didn't want to record outside because I was a little sick, and we did most of the music video inside - similar to the original which is also shot like this. So this is the song + music video in the Retro Poland fashion :). I really like this song and how it sounds. I even used a tremolo in the beginning,...

Hello!

Here are the tabs to Axel F. It's not that hard (maybe except of the last bars of the solo). It's very fun to play, especially the first half. Seriously, it was really cool to compose it in this style, and I hope you will have fun playing it! I didn't transcribe the "synth solo" mostly because almost nobody owns the Casio DG-20, so it's pretty much pointless.

Axel F / Sławomir B - early viewing

Hi there!

I think we went a bit overboard with this one, but it wasn't my idea, hehe. Actually Mrokat's dad asked me if I would like to make a video with his bike (he's a fan of the Retro Poland stuff and he was very excited that we filmed earlier in his summerhouse). I started thinking which song would sound good with this one, and then I remembered the Crazy Frong thing, and it all clicked! The weather was not on our side and also Mrokat got a bit sick, so we had to reschedule the sho...

Some news and tabs

Hi there!

There will be some delays with the Axel F cover, mainly due to health reasons. The song is already finished and sounds great! Also the weather busted our filming day on Tuesday, so the clip will be delayed for a few days or even a week. The next songs are going to have mostly interior shots because it's not that needed to stand in the cold for hours. So, sorry for this, but I have some latest IG tabs, and tomorrow I will post more backing tracks. :)

Have fun guys!

Clint Eastwood - Full Tab - PDF + GP5

Hi! Here's the full Clint Eastwood tab with a little story!

Hi!

Here's the full Clint Eastwood tab! This one was probably one of the hardest of the bunch. I needed to take another week just to practice this song a bit more. The hardest part is that it's in the key of D# and it's an anti-guitar key. Still I didn't want to tune the guitar to half step down, or play it in E, because it was darker this way. Also it made me challenge myself, and it's always a plus!

During the rap...

Clint Eastwood / Bogusław Linda : early viewing

Hi there!

This clip has one thing that I'm truly proud of - fog! I asked Mrokat what would she say if we would film tomorrow morning if it's foggy? She was hyped as well, because we both like this type of weather. By some miracle the next day looked perfect, so once we woke up, we were outside in the next 30 minutes filming this video. It was such a blast! Love the visuals here. As for the song itself it features an old friend... An instrument that some of you are unfamiliar with. I wan...

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas / Wielka Kradzież Aut: Sandomierz - early viewing

Hi there fellow Retro Poles! My covers got a bit switched and I had to do the GTA theme instead of Clint Eastwood (which was meant to be a kinda Halloween Special). But... who cares? In the long run these videos will be on YT forever (until someone unplugs the internet, lol). So let's treat "Voodoo People" as an early Halloween Special, and this, as just a cool video, ok? :)

Nevertheless I wanted to do something more with this one. This theme is like a minute long and I would feel like ...

Here's the tab! This one is simple, but effective.

Here's the tab! This one is simple, but effective. The solo was a mixture of improv and funky licks. I really like the direction it all went to. The 6 string sweep near the end is a bit tricky, as well as the next sweep lick. It was not easy, had to practice it for a bit.
