DESCRIPTION:
How I play Complete Control by the Clash.

This is not a meant to be a note-for-note transcription. It's just the way I've come to play it. You know, letsagetabitarockin and all that.

The video has two parts. First, I play the song live on my Strat along with a simple Backing Track I made in GarageBand. Second, I do a brief tutorial on how I played the intro, chord progression, solo, the chords under the solo, the arpeggio break and outro. I ad libbed the outro solo in the demo, so the tutorial only shows a bare-bones version of main notes I try to hit while playing it through.

Sorry, no tabs.

This video is dedicated to my buddy Damien, who lent me Chris Salewicz's bio of Joe Strummer, a read that inspired me to put this video together.
