guitar advanced Free lesson

In this lesson

This is one of the most common tunes you'll hear at a jam, and it's been recorded literally hundreds of times. You'd better be ready for it to be called, and this version will get you in shape. Up the neck...down the neck...straight ahead, and around the corner...this one has it all.

    Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

    Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.
