[LESSON] This Week in Rock History - Oasis 'Wonderwall'

The week of January 13th is full of rock history. The ZOEN's resident music history aficionado Matt Brechbiel selected a few highlights from the week which you'll find below. Among those highlights is a notable event in the UK band Oasis' career. Being that the song 'Wonderwall' is one of Matt's most requested songs from those learning to play guitar, he decided to put together a demo lesson:
