More about this title

About the Artist: Buckcherry

Buckcherry emerged from the Los Angeles hard rock scene in the early 2000s, bringing a raw, blues-inflected approach to contemporary rock. The band's 2006 album 15 marked a significant commercial breakthrough, establishing them as major players in modern rock radio and live touring circuits.

Why we love this

This folio captures the energy and accessibility of one of the 2000s' most radio-friendly hard rock albums. Students get to learn the actual riffs and rhythms that made these songs instantly recognizable, with "Crazy Bitch" providing a particularly satisfying centerpiece that maintains technical interest without demanding virtuosic technique.

What to expect

These songs hit with immediate impact and swagger. The writing balances straightforward groove-based riffing with just enough harmonic color to keep things interesting, creating anthemic moments that feel earned rather than forced.

Who it's for

Guitar students who want to learn recognizable contemporary rock material will find this folio approachable and motivating. Players at intermediate level and above can work through the full album, while teachers can select individual songs for students building their rock vocabulary.

How to get the most out of it

  • Nail the rhythmic pocket on the palm-muted sections; these grooves are what make the songs lock in live, and precision here matters more than speed.
  • Balance aggression with clarity when tackling the heavier riffs; let the notes speak rather than overwhelming them with overdrive.
  • Pay attention to the dynamics between verses and choruses; the contrast between restrained and explosive playing is essential to the song's structure.

How to use it

Assign individual tracks as repertoire choices for guitar recitals or ensemble performances where amplified rock is appropriate. The album's variety allows students to select pieces that match their current technical level and musical interests.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and executing authentic TAB transcriptions
  • Translating blues-based rock phrasing and rhythmic feel
  • Managing gain and tone control across different sections of a song
  • Building consistency in rhythmic precision on palm-muted and open-string riffs
  • Understanding song structure through analysis of verse, chorus, and bridge sections
