Description

In this group of song lessons I'll teach you how to play the classic song "Roxanne", as made famous by The Police. This is one of their weirdest and yet somehow catchiest tunes, and features some great and simple guitar playing. The drums and the bass is what makes this song seem harder than it actually is, so if you can keep the beat and focus on the groovy guitar part, almost everyone can play this song. The harmony is based on basic minor and major chords, but we're gonna talk about the more advanced voicings he uses to make it add some spice to it as well. I'm also gonna show you how to play the song with basic barre chords, if the actual voicings are too much to handle; I'll break down the use of power chords in the rockin' choruses; talk about the guitar tones that were used on the recording; and much more!
