A song and video born from my love of karate and guitar.
Lyrics
No one gets out alive
Joey Righteous was smaller than the rest
He got bullied by disciples of the sect
kinda weirdo and nerdiest by far
All he wanted was to play on his guitar
Didn’t fit in, he just wasn’t cool, na
Daddy sent him off to karate school, ha
Straight punch, didn’t get it
Front kick, much too weak
Knife hand, he was awkward
Round-house, bad technique
Timing, Blocks and punches
Focus,sweeps and kicks
Dead leg, wanted to play
Strangle, favourite licks
Head grab, didn’t wanna
Neck chop, make it big
Eye jab, so he went down
Foot sweep, to play a gig, shamone
Give it all to me
Give it all to me yeah
Give it all to me yeah
Give it all to me
Yeah
Give it all to me
Finished playing lead and the goons were looking rough
Solo’s are dead dude and the thugs had had enough
Backed in a corner, there was nothing he could do
Shoulda stayed at karate or taken up Kung Fu
They kept on closing and then came to a stop
Took off his guitar and invented the guitarte chop, ha
He, eye of a dragon, ha
He, venom of a snake, ha
He, courage of a tiger, ha
He, bodies in his wake, ha
He, moves like a panther, ha
He, cunning like a fox, ha
He, sting of a spider, ha
He, muscles like rocks, ha
He, preys like a mantis, ha
He, stubborn as a bull, ha
Whoar, patience of a mamba, ha
hunts like a wolf
No one knew what he could do with a guitar in his hand
Until that day when we all knew that he became a man
Stood up there before us and let out all his rage
With his training from Japan, he adapted to the stage
With a whirl light and all his might, he made a deadly sound
He rounded up his enemies and took them to the ground
Side swipe
Axe chop
6 clock, I got the mojo
Groin hoist
String knot, you’re gonna love this Pete
Head poke
Leg break
Neck choke
Lead wrap, Are we gonna hit it and quit
String snap
Ear burst
No one gets out alive

Never give up, don’t ever stop, get it on,
Whatyou looking at
Do ya want some
Give it all you got
If it wasn’t for wasted time I wouldn’t have no time at all
Show me what you got
Give it all to me yeah
Give it everything you’ve got. Even when you’ve got nothing left – you need to get up and carry on. Attack and defence, forward and back, left and right.
You’ve tried everything you know and they still won’t go. When you think you’ve hit a wall you’ve got to break through y’all
Don’t ever stop not until you reach the top
Nurture not hurt ya Neuro diverse – curse, ADHD Hyperfocus
going backward and forward doing basics wasnt his idea of fun, legs felt tired, bruises on his arms and legs. Did it for years. Kept losing all his fights. Couldn’t find his style

Neck chop knee strike Dead Leg headbut Roundhouse

Spotify pitch
I am a Guitar teacher and a Karate teacher – why not combine the two and create “GuitarTe” – “ha”. As a child, my uncle was my inspiration to play guitar. About 36 years ago, I visited him in Australia, and he taught me the “Hendrix” chord. I immediately introduced this chord into all my jams and songs, but nothing seemed to stick. It’s only after all this time that I had another go and it turned out great. A little competition for “Kung Foo Fighting”. Enjoy.
The chromatic motif came from me looking at gospel slides which eventually mutated into sing staccato notes
