If you're tired of practicing old folk tunes, Beatles songs, Mel Bay, or whatever, Q TV's new series "How To" With Q features various indie rock luminaries walking you through the guitar parts of some of their popular songs. A series like this is long overdue. Not sure how many we'll get, but so far there's the suddenly ubiquitous "A Punk," Tegan & Sara's "Walking With A Ghost," Aaron Desnner walking us through "Fake Empire," and Sondre Lerche getting epic on "To Be Surprised." Lerche's lesson is almost 13 minutes long, advanced players. The "self-taught guitarist" Quin -- who also recommends making your voice sound "a bit like a chipmunk and a bit like Cindy Lauper" -- is done in under three minutes. So let's start there.
