This video is a full breakdown of the guitar parts present in Fountains of Wayne – Stacy’s Mom.

Tragically, Adam Schlesinger, bass player and songwriter for Fountains of Wayne passed away recently. I won’t pretend that I am hugely familiar with F.O.W beyond their big hit – Stacy’s Mom, but I’ve always loved this song, to me it is a shining example of a perfect feel-good pop song. Hearing the news reminded me of how great a song it is and made me want to do a video lesson which you can find here:

Once you’ve learned the parts, I’ve created a performance Play-along video where I play the parts along with the original recording. You can check that out here: https://youtu.be/XPGe1C8NFEo

Rest In Peace Adam, you live on through your art.
