Every Morning: Authentic Guitar TAB

This collection captures the melodic inventiveness and rhythmic groove that defined Sugar Ray's sound, giving guitarists a chance to learn from a band that proved rock music could be both commercially successful and musically substantive. The 94-page TAB collection spans their most recognizable material, making it ideal for students who want to connect with songs they actually know and love playing.

Upbeat, groove-oriented, and surprisingly intricate beneath the surface. These songs have immediate appeal and infectious energy, but they reveal themselves more fully once you dig into the nuances of the riffs and the rhythmic conversations between guitar and vocals.

Guitarists who grew up with 90s rock radio and want to build their repertoire with music that's genuinely fun to play. Students at intermediate level and beyond will find enough technical variety across these 12 songs to stay engaged, whether they're learning for recital performance or just expanding what they can play.

• Pay attention to the rhythmic pocket in these songs; Sugar Ray's groove comes from precise timing and feel rather than speed, so nail the pocket before pushing tempo.
• Use the clean tone settings on your amp for most of these tracks; the band's signature sound relies on clarity and presence, not heavy distortion.
• Study the interplay between rhythm and lead guitar parts; many of these songs layer complementary riffs that create the full arrangement when played together.
• Lock into the vocal phrasing even if you're playing without singing; these songs are structured around the melody, and your guitar work should breathe with the song's lyrical rhythm.

Build a recital around 90s alternative rock influences, pairing Sugar Ray songs with other acts from the same era to create a cohesive program. The variety across these 12 titles also makes this collection useful for a guitarist building a diverse solo repertoire or preparing covers for informal performance settings.
