Description

Hi everyone, this is Henrik for Guitar Tricks and today we're going to learn "Drivin' My Life Away", as made famous by Eddie Rabbitt.

We're going to look into some really cool guitar playing in this up-tempo country rock classic. We'll be looking into some solid strumming on acoustic guitar, and a lot of really interesting lead guitar playing that you can apply to any rock or country song. We'll also be checking out a nicely tremolo effected guitar that adds loads of vibe.

The song is in 4/4 time signature and at a tempo of 169 BPM.
