The Go-Go's - Our Lips Are Sealed - Cover - Noir Series

Our Lips Are Sealed! Sure they are. I don't believe that for a second. But, in terms of this song, man I sure do. This tune was recorded by The Go-Go's on their first record, Beauty and the Beat, in 1981. It was their debut single. The song eventually reached the Top 5 in Australia and Canada, and Top 20 in the United States. It's such a great song, so much so that in 2000, Rolling Stone named it one of the 100 Greatest Pop Songs of all time! I like that. Deserved.

These videos serve as lessons on how I play this bunch of Pop, Rock, and Reggae songs - sometimes as a single guitarist playing the only guitar part, though that's rare. And sometimes if there is more than one guitar part, then trying to find the single good path through the tune. I complete one pass, demonstrating different Rhythm parts, styles, and techniques. There is no talking. No discussion. No note-for-note explanations. As such, for clarity, my guitar is supposed to be louder in the mix than it would ever be in a live setting. But, if you really want to hear what I hear, do what I do and put on a good pair headphones with great bass response! It's worth it.

Why this is important to Rhythm Guitar:
It's not.

But, that doesn't mean it's not a gas to play.

Because it is.
