Motley Crue / Mick Mars - Looks That Kill
Written by Edward Cupler
Notes:The Motley Crue / Mick Mars song Looks That Kill from the album Shout at the Devil. Was recorded in the key of G minor but actually played in the A minor position. This is because they tuned down a whole step to 420 so that A becomes G, E becomes D etc. This lesson uses audio examples recorded in standard 440 tuning. This is to keep things simple since the other lessons on this website also use standard 440 tuning. The songs main riff is simply A G and F# using a low A as a pedal tone.
Home Sweet Home - Motley Crue / Mick Mars
Written by Edward Cupler
The Motley Crue classic power ballad Home Sweet Home from the album Theatre of Pain is one of the most memorable of the 1980's. In my opinion Mick Mars is one of the best rock guitarist of the era. Although Mick wasn't as fast or polished as some of his competitors, his playing is solid and melodic, enhancing the songs instead of being distracting.
