Description

In this tutorial we are going to learn how to play "I Fought the Law" as performed by The Clash. This punk rock classic features a wall of guitar parts, including some high energy rhythm guitar, plenty of lead melodies, and some harmonized lines.

In the recording of "I Fought the Law" there are several guitars being layered together. You can easily cover this song with one rhythm, and one lead; and as an added bonus I am going to bring in a third guitar in the bridge to play the additional harmony.

"I Fought the Law" is in the Key of D, in 4/4 time, and at 152 bpm.
